Guy Williams, Jr.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about person not notable (claims actor, but significantly fails WP:ENTERTAINER), and otherwise only claims son of famous actor - appears to be vanity piece. Sources also lacking and not apparently available on relevant searches. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 07:28, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Also no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 10:07, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~. Notability is not inherited from his famous father. Aside from incidental coverage as a stand-in for his father, he gets no RS attention at all. • Gene93k (talk) 13:21, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or delete. No objection to a consensus to redirect. Still not notable. • Gene93k (talk) 14:29, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Notability is not inherited. Joe Chill (talk) 21:31, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect both "Guy Williams, Jr." and "Guy Steven Catalano" as reasonable search terms to his father's article at Guy Williams (actor)#First artistic steps where he is already mentioned in context to his father. Yes, he does not have enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:ENT to merit a seperate article, but as his cogerage is in relation to his father, he is at least worth that familial mention in his dad's article. If or when his career ever grows and independent notability is not in doubt, the redirect can be reverted and the article then expanded and sourced acordingly.

Happy with the redirect option. OwainDavies ^(about)_(talk) edited at 10:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Will Robinson Redirect to his father's article per MQS's reasoning. It's a valid search term and it can easily be restored if he becomes notable later. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:18, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Note It was pointed out to me that information about the son was not sourced in the article about the father. I have addressed that lack,[1] and now recommend the redirect go instead to Guy Williams (actor)#Homages. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per MQS, redirects are cheap and he is mentioned there. Hobit (talk) 05:12, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
