Notability is not inherited, and there are plenty of articles detailing the Kennedy ancestry D O N D E groovily Talk to me 05:44, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or at a minimun Merge. I'd argue that Kennedys require a broad interpretation of the "not inherited" rule as even the collateral relatives have been the subject of considerable coverage/research. JenzAccount (talk) 14:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per A7, there is no indication of notability. Being a relative of notable persons does not make her notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 18:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page does establish at least some form of notability, the question is whether the notability asserted is relevant. Speedy delete seem completely uncalled for here. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 20:20, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as suggested on the article page to Patrick J. Kennedy. I am a big fan of the kennedys, and even I can't see Nana's notability. Bearian (talk) 18:31, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete Fails WP:BIO, and notability is not "inherited retroactively" to every ancestor of a notable person. Guidelines are not universally suspended just because someone has "Kennedy" in his or her name. Edison (talk) 00:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, clearly not notable in the sense we use the term. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:38, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
