[edit] Hannah Milhous Nixon

Hannah Milhous Nixon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

uncontested prod, but likely to be controversial or of interested to the broader community, so instead of deleting, I bring it here. Personally, I don't think being the parent or other relative of someone notable gives one notability, but I know others here probably disagree on that point and there are lots of other famous "moms" and "dads" articles, so let's talk it out.

  • Delete and redirect to Richard Nixon.--Sethacus 02:35, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect per above. Although some of her children are notable, (with all due respect to the dead) she is not. This is like creating an article on one of Eddie Murphy's parents. James Luftan contribs 02:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to Richard Nixon as sufficient family information is already contained in that article. This is just genealogy. --Dhartung | Talk 04:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. There are enough sources to expand this. For example, there is a chapter of a book called Faith of Our Mothers: The Stories of Presidential Mothers from Mary Washington to Barbara Bush devoted to Hannah Nixon see [1] Capitalistroadster 04:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom Harlowraman 05:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and continue to expand per Capitalistroadster, the are ample sources to improve this article. Burntsauce 17:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I must be the only person old enough to remember Nixon. For those of you who were born after Watergate, I recall his maudlin final speech at the White House, where he remarked "Nobody will ever write a book about my mother." Little did he know that they couldn't get away with writing a damn Wikipedia article about her either! History has proven him to be correct... Mandsford 03:43, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep if there is a decent chance of eventually adding significant biographical information on Mrs. Nixon. RandomCritic 05:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails notability requirements.--Lovepush 06:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Capitalistroadster, Randomcritic, Burntsauce, and Mandsford. Normally, notability is not inherited, but this is a solid exception. The movie Nixon (film) had an extensive sub-plot about her. Richard Milhouse Nixon was wrong; his mother has been the subject of books, due to the important influence on her son, who -- mostly for the worse -- was a major World leader of the post-WWII-war era. Note that I am not a partisan of him or his party. Lots of souces exist, see over 900 Ghits (Google hits): [2]. Bearian 15:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
I started a reflist on that page. Bearian 15:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
