Paulina Gretzky[edit]

Delete - subject does not pass WP:BIO as an actor or WP:MUSIC as a singer. Her notability comes from being the daughter of a famous couple bu notability is not inherited. Otto4711 (talk) 18:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I have added three reliable sources that show notability. Schuym1(talk) 18:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I found a fourth one. I will add it to the article. Schuym1(talk) 18:59, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per WP:COMMON. As I ask myself "how likely is it that someone would come to Wikipedia looking for information about this person, and how reasonable is it for them to expect to find something here?" this one definitely passes the sniff test. There's also something to be said for the fact that this article has been around in some form or another for nearly five years, and this is the first time deletion has come up that I can see.

Keep The article includes multiple articles listed as external links that are clearly about the article's subject, not her parents. While the claim of notability not being inherited will be trotted out religiously for any article about any relative of any celebrity, the presence of multiple reliable and verifiable sources that are undeniably about the subject establishes that this article satisfies the Wikipedia notability standard. This article will benefit from improvement by having the material from these sources better integrated into this article as references. A need for improvement is not an excuse for deletion.

Comment I hate debates that fall into this category: Paulina's notability is 100% dependent on who her parents are, not via anything she's accomplished. That said, she's clearly been the subject of multiple, independent sources. This might be one of those very rare cases where notability for being the child of someone famous is enough.
