[edit] Salvatore Travolta

Not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Arniep 16:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, nn, only claim to actual notability is being the father of the Travoltas.--Jersey Devil 18:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Sorry, Sal. Your son's notable, you not so much so, capisce?  RasputinAXP  c 19:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment This wasn't actually created by a Travolta family member (also Salvatore died 1995). Arniep 20:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, he was a semi-professional football player. Back in his youth, that was essentially the highest you'd go, as no one ever played full-time, they always had side jobs. I don't know what team he played for, but Margaret has yet to inform me of any details regarding her parents. -- Zanimum 00:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

If he was a player for a big team surely it would say that in the biographies? Arniep 20:28, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep By being the patriarch of a famous family that extends multiple generations, he is considered notable.  : Paramountpr 14:19, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry but you have to be notable yourself not just by being related to someone who is really famous. Also, I note you have very few edits, all of which have been to Travolta articles Special:Contributions/Paramountpr. Arniep 15:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete doesn't pass the google test. Any notability is firmly linked to family and not based on personal accomplishment.  : ( Lonesomedovechocolate 23:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Aint no Travolta that matters but John Travolta. All others should be deleted because they all hangers on and shadow riders. Aint no love. EraserX 15:47, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

• Note that this user has only edited articles regarding people with the last name Travolta. Seems like a sock. Zanimum 23:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

This user Special:Contributions/EraserX seems to be believe that John Travolta is the only person with the name Travolta notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, it is not clear who you are suggesting that they are a sockpuppet of. Arniep 00:58, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non notable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 01:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Travolta family. -- Visviva 16:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
