[edit] Merge to new article Crumb family

Merge: There have been some concerns about the notability of Charles Crumb. I suggest that this material be merged into a new article called Crumb family, which would discuss the artist family Crumb, including some material about the best-known members Robert Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb (who would retain their own articles), as well as lesser-known members such as Charles Crumb and Maxon Crumb. I think the Sophie Crumb article should be merged into the Crumb family article for the time being as well – she's definitely an emerging artist, however, she has yet to produce a body of work that justifies an article longer than stub-length.

There is precedent in Wikipedia for doing family biographies, BTW – there are articles on the Dupont family and the Krupp family, for example. Peter G Werner 01:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I think this is a good idea. Merge -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 18:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Disagree. If the other family members aren't notable, why should there be a page about them? The fact that there are other families who are listed this way doesn't really seem to be a valid argument, see WP:Othercrapexists Ckessler 02:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Except that the other articles in question aren't "crap", they're articles about families of sufficient notability to merit an article. IMO, the Crumb family is also sufficiently notable. Peter G Werner 11:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

There should be a family article - personally I feel all the existing articles should also stay, but if any do fall at AfD, there is somewhere to merge remaining content to. The category can then be deleted - why not just set this up now? See here for current CfD discussion. Johnbod 09:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

You said yourself that some of the family members weren't notable for their own articles. Just because something exists in another article doesn't mean it meets WP standards. Ckessler 14:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

If he can have his own IMDB entry I don't see why he can't have his own bio. He was an artist in his own right and I came here looking for information on him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.242.99 (talk • contribs) 24 July 2007
