[edit] Notability

Is she really notable? I don't know exactly where to cite, but I don't think you can achieve notability by being the relative of someone notable.--Thomas.macmillan 23:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)page.

I do. plus, its verified information. We want to big the biggest encyclopedia of earth, so this is a good thing to have in it. <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: normal"><font style="border: solid 1px orange; background-color:#991199" color="white">[[User:Kitia|Kitia</font></span>^{<small> — <font color="#FF4F00">[[User talk:Kitia|talk]]</font> | <font color="#FF4F00">[[Special:contributions/Kitia|contrib]]</font> | <font color="#CD00CD"> 16:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)</font></small>}]] 00:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

We don't want to incclude non-notable people on Wikipedia. Her only claim to fame is being Eisenhower's mother. Her claim to be a lifelong femnist is not in itself notable.--Thomas.macmillan 16:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

To create an enyclopedia, we have to cover topics on all subjects. And if Eisenhower was the president, than she got a lot of media attention. <span style="font-family: monospace; font-size: normal"><font style="border: solid 1px orange; background-color:#991199" color="white">[[User:Kitia|Kitia</font></span>^{<small> — <font color="#FF4F00">[[User talk:Kitia|talk]]</font> | <font color="#FF4F00">[[Special:contributions/Kitia|contrib]]</font> | <font color="#CD00CD"> 16:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)</font></small>}]] 16:16, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

If she is the mother of a U.S. President, she is certainly a notable entry for Wikipedia as she was a force in the shaping of a significant politician and military leader of the United States. It provides substantial context for why Dwight Eisenhower himself, was who he was and what he stood for. To say that she was not notable is to dismiss the influence of women in general and specifically the impact of a woman that was in the public eye as a parent of a very notable American. She should not be removed. Stevenmitchell 03:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interracial descent?

I have no quarrel with the fact if it's supported by reliable sources, but the only source given in this article doesn't mention it. It doesn't even mention what races she was. Does anyone know of a reliable source? --Charlene 10:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
