Varela Family[edit]

This seems to be a family genealogical page masquerading as an article. I've removed a massive pedigree list and an external link to a family tree 'Tribalpages' site. I can't see any evidence the family is notable as a whole. There are individual Varela's who have claims to notability and they have Wikipedia articles.

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

Weak Delete, subject may have received significant coverage from non-primary reliable sources in books, but given that I cannot see past a snippet view, I cannot evaluate whether the content is significant coverage or not. The subject has received only passing mention in news sources. Therefore, given the lack of verifiable significant coverage I have to support deletion, as the subject does not appear to be notable per WP:ORG or WP:GNG.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:31, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
