I removed the speedy. Claim to notability is being the wife of a notable diplomat. Any useful content (of which there is none) could be merged into the husband article. General case of notability not being inherited. Shadowjams (talk) 03:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The one thing I'm not sure about, because the husband is quite notable as is the son, is whether or not the wife was also notable, but in a way that I can't find. It's hard for me to assess what's out there, so I'd rather it be here than speedied. Shadowjams (talk) 03:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing to merge, and since nothing encyclopedically interesting is said about her, no redirect is desired either. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 03:17, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I believe the editor is acting in good faith, I don't think diplomatic spouses are inherently notable, like first ladies. Shadowjams brings up a good point, though. Burma is a relatively closed society, the husband and son are targets for discredit by the regime, so it will be really a task to find something about her. I started the articles on the son and hubby, it's a rough one. I wish the new editor good luck. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable, and I'm not convinced "wife of a notable diplomat" is even enough to pass speedy. Hairhorn (talk) 04:37, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note I normally agree, but the son and husband have someone important notability and my concern was that between the lack of Burmese sources and the language issues, I wouldn't be able to find ready indications of notability that might have slipped through. It's clear the article as it is, is not useful. Shadowjams (talk) 05:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article is has no references and may violate WP:NPOV.
Delete Unless there's a plethora of information on the Burmese wiki. I'd try to look, but I don't even have the font for Burmese. Wine Guy Talk 12:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
