With the following reason cited:
An editor has nominated Agnéz Deréon, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agnéz Deréon and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

I'm motioning that the following be incorporated into this article in some form:
Agnéz Deréon, later Agnéz Beyoncé (1924 – 1984) was a Louisiana native whose surname and passion for creating beauty from the mundane is the inspiration for the clothing line House of Deréon, a fashion line founded by her daughter Tina Knowles, and granddaughter Beyoncé Knowles. Agnéz Deréon (pronounced dare-ay-on or duh-RAHN) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Self-taught, she became a well known professional seamstress catering to private clients in Louisiana. She was accustomed to tailoring pieces that stood out by decorating the fabrics she used with such embellishments as embroidery. Incorporating materials such as lace, beads and jeweled buttons, were just some of the ingredients that Deréon used to make her style unique and her own. Deréon later married Lumis Beyoncé, taking her husband's surname to become Agnéz Beyoncé. The couple relocated to Galveston, Texas where they raised their family (some of the Beyoncé relatives still live in Galveston). Both Beyincé and her husband were of French-speaking Louisiana Creole (or French Creole) descent; having African, French, Amerindian, Spanish and Indian ancestries[citation needed]. The Beyoncés were a poor, yet upwardly mobile family. The couple made many sacrifices to see that their children matriculated through private school and received a proper education. The Beyincés were very devoted to their children and encouraged their involvement in the arts. Among the couple's posterity are a daughter,Tina Knowles, and a son (name unknown; he is Angela Beyoncé's father). Their grandchildren are Beyoncé Knowles and Solange Knowles, Angela Beyoncé and great-grandson Daniel Juelz Smith Jr. Beyoncé's first name is a tribute to the Beyoncé family name [1]. The rare surname, Beyoncé, is of French origin and faces extinction since there are no male descendants in the family with the Beyincé surname who will pass it on.
