[edit] Annie Glenn (neé Castor)

Delete While this is a well formatted article, it seems of dubious value to me, regardless of who she is married to. Non-notable? PhilipO 17:48, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep- I feel that this article is merited, not only because of who she is married to, but because of her decades-long struggle to help people with speech impediments, and other oral disabilities. Jdhowens90 18:06, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Note: vote by article author.
• Strong keep: as a person with a speech impediment myself, I feel that Annie Glenn has done a lot for people like me, and as such is noteworthy in her own right. 172.201.99.219 18:08, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The wives of U.S. Senators don't attain independent notability per se in the way that First Ladies do, and she doesn't seem to have done anything else that rises to the level of deserving an article. She should of course be mentioned in John Glenn's biography, but merging would be pointless because of most of this article is extremely trivial. "She has a long-standing interest in American folk arts and crafts and collects quilts and other needlework as well as historical household items from the small towns of Ohio." Maybe if we were writing a three-volume biography of Glenn, we'd go to such detail regarding his wife. No need to redirect, because the presence of "(neé Castor)" in the article title makes this a very unlikely search. Postdlf 18:16, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --Irishpunktom\^talk 18:56, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Postdlf. By the way, it is spelled née, not neé, and if the article is kept, it should be moved back to Annie Glenn per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 19:11, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to her husband. Xoloz 04:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete notability is not a distributable quantity. No redirect. -Splash 14:27, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable DiceDiceBaby 15:37, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep if rewritten. Also it should be moved to Annie Glenn as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). JamesBurns 03:13, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. or merge/redir w/her husband. RE naming, what JamesBurns and Android79 said. Niteowlneils 12:17, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Remarkable contributions to charity and the wife of a U.S. Senator and astronaut.
• Keep. Her contributions should be known and not lost behind her husband's fame.
• Keep. I was watching "The Right Stuff" and I found it interesting that there was an article in wikipedia about John Glenn's wife. She is not "notable" in some sense, but if an article meets wikipedia's users' need to learn I don't see why delete it. Disk space is cheap and this article will not strain wikipedia's bandwidth. The fact that one can find in wikipedia information that other encyclopedias might scorn is, I believe, one of wikipedia's greatest strengths. Dianelos 17:18, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
