[edit] Owen figure-skating family

Owen figure-skating family (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Duplicate page. Each member of the fmaily is notable in hir own right. Absolutely no need to have a seperate page for the family itself. Kolindigo 20:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but it would be a lot easier just to turn this into a disambig page than to use the AfD mechanism to try to get rid of it. Dr.frog 20:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I thought about that, but I'm not sure a disambig page is that necessary. The way I see it, they aren't known as a family the same way that families who perform as groups are known as a family. I've always seen it as "Maribel Vinson and her daughters", never collectively as "the Owen family". But I could just not be reading the right things. :) Kolindigo 22:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • DAB page is largely unnecessary per Kolindigo. There are no incoming links. Just delete. Ohconfucius 04:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Though the article does point out that it might be worthwhile to create a See also link in each individual article to unite all the members of the family. SilkTork 14:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC) Additional comment: I've just checked. Only one article had the links missing - I've now added that. All articles are linked. SilkTork 14:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as unnecessary. Although I've supported "X family" articles in the past when they serve an organizational/navigational purpose, this is two generations -- parents and children -- and there is no need for a page showing the family tree. Every member's article should have this information already. --Dhartung | Talk 19:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The articles for each individual are well written enough. Not really a duplicate article, as it doesn't actually duplicate anything that the articles discuss. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
