Bates family[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Reality TV star with little notability in his own right, perhaps only as part of his family. Not enough specific notability to warrant many external references. Westroopnerd (talk) 00:09, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The linked article is on the family as a whole, not on any individual in the family. So the argument does not make sense.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:12, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 19_Kids_and_Counting#Bates_family I suppose as although this AfD is not making all that much sense, it's likely they were best known for 19 Kids and Counting apart from their own show. SwisterTwister talk 07:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 19_Kids_and_Counting#Bates_family as per SwisterTwister. No stand-alone notability as a family. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:56, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
