Lacking Notability, also see 1. at WP:NOT. Please note that I have a COI as I was asked whether a deletion would be possible by Christa Gelpke's descendants. I strongly believe, though, that she is not notable as there is no broad media coverage about her and the other notability criteria for persons are also not met.

Weak Delete - there are sources, that much is clear, but they aren't great. Mostly passing mentions in articles about properties owned by her family, the mention in Forbes (which is accurate but routine and not particularly deep (and is mostly about her living relatives)), and some German-language sources which seem to also be passing mentions. Ultimately, notability is not inherited, even if her wealth was. Appreciate Conandcon's COI declaration but I feel this nomination would be just as valid from anyone else. I made some minor edits to the article for BLP compliance purposes but couldn't find anything of substance to add. St★lwart¹¹¹ 12:21, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Gelpke's probably not notable and any slight notability that may exist probably doesn't outweigh her descendants' wish for deletion. Furius (talk) 02:50, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
