[edit] Hannelore Kohl

Doesn't seem to be notable except for a cookery book which probably wouldn't have existed if she wasn't wife of Helmut Kohl. Arniep 11:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I think this subject falls marginally over the line of notability. The debates over the cause of her suicide also make her notable. David | Talk 11:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I don't believe that suicides by relatives of famous people are worthy of their own articles. Content can be merged into the famous people articles. Montco 15:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Nomination seems to be part of a campaign to delete category:Famous people's relatives who committed suicide by emptying the category.--Mike Selinker 19:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I nominated these as various other articles of relatives of famous people have been deleted and we need to decide whether just the fact that a person committed suicide but has not done anything really of note during their own life makes them notable enough for an encyclopedia article.

• Weak delete I think she probably falls just short of independent notability, but it's hard to tell not being German. --kingboyk 22:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. She was in the public spotlight quite often independently of her husband. Deleting this article would be the same as deleting the article on Laura Bush -- Lylum 00:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as the combination of her medical condition, controversy over her death and (assuming the article's description is correct) her fame as a culinary author are all of potential interest. Have added cleanup notice. David Kernow 01:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable in her own right for her charitable work with de:ZNS – Hannelore Kohl Stiftung. Valiantis 01:42, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, apparently noteworthy as published author regardless of other issues. Monicasdude 23:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
