The result was redirect to Sweden v. Yamaguchi. I have only done this with Wilson Jr. as the other articles were not tagged nor formally bundled. Can be handled editorially if there is consensus to do so. Star Mississippi 03:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced biography of a person of unclear notability. This is basically written as a cross between the "subject is a person who had a job" and "subject is a person who had a genealogy" versions of Wikipedia notability fail, and it isn't supported by any reliable sources -- with the added bonus that it's been tagged for lacking referencing since 2009 without ever seeing a whit of improvement in 13 years since. None of this is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 04:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge: This links to his father, with a pretty skimpy article, and to the child custody lawsuit Sweden v. Yamaguchi, which is quite lengthy and detailed. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:24, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What this article lacks in sources, it doesn't make up for in anything else. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:22, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sweden v. Yamaguchi, and do the same to John Wilson (Swedish sailor) and Sophia Wilson. Sweden v Yamaguchi is undoubtedly a very important case, but in general, there's no need to have separate biographical articles of people whose main claim to fame is their involvement with a cause celebre.Ari T.
