This is a pretty clear case of WP:NOTINHERITED. Her recollections about her uncle are of interest to scholars on Walt Whitman but she herself is of no importance. The sourcing isn't there to pass WP:GNG. A possible WP:ATD would be a selective merge and redirect to Walt Whitman. 4meter4 (talk) 19:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

RedirectMerge - after pulling some information from her profile. I have added a few more sources, but I am unable to find anything more (and nothing that would separate her from her uncle). DaffodilOcean (talk) 21:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @DaffodilOcean A redirect is currently not a viable option as Jessie Louisa Whitman is not mentioned at all in the Walt Whitman article. This is why I suggested a selective merge as an ATD because content on her would need to be added to that page in order for a redirect to exist.4meter4 (talk) 22:44, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @4meter4 - sorry I was not clear. What I meant was that we should pull information from her article and put it into the article on Walt Whitman. Once that is done, set up a redirect from her name to the Whitman article. DaffodilOcean (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- @DaffodilOcean That would be a merge as we define it at AFD. You should change your vote to reflect that.4meter4 (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Plenty of hits in Gbooks for her name, but she's only briefly mentioned, talking about Walt. Could be perhaps a brief mention in his article, nothing outside of that. Oaktree b (talk) 22:52, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
