While the family have individual members that are notable, the family unit is not.

This would be more sensible as a category: "Smith Family"; or as a list, "List of Smith Family members" - but NOT a stand alone article.

Similarly, this family unit SHOULD include ALL family members, ex wives, grandfathers etc. - at present the correct title for this article would be "Family members of Will Smiths current spousal-family" Chaosdruid (talk) 16:37, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article is a content fork and offers nothing additional that can be presented under List of showbusiness families. Ajf773 (talk) 20:34, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unhelpful list. Graywalls (talk) 01:53, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is exactly the sort of list that aids our core users (students) in researching for their papers; you can have a list and a category. Bearian (talk) 19:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Maybe some general clean-up can be done and add some more information, but yeah, keep Dpm12 (talk) 21:55, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete this has nothing that isn't properly included on Will Smith, a needless split. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:10, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
