      • In that case we disagree on the meaning of the word multiple. In my dictionary it means "more than one" for which two clearly qualifies. - Mgm|(talk) 09:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The consensus seems to be that multiple is at least three. Only a few are insisting that "two" is what is intended by "multiple". If "more than one" or "two" or "at least two" had been intended, the guideline would have been worded that way and I am sure it was well-discussed before implementation. Rarely if ever do people refer to two of anything as "multiple".
The guideline is intended to exclude as well as include. It does give room for judgement on the part of the editors but forcing an uncommon meaning on one word in the guideline makes it difficult to achieve consensus on these AfDs. There are thousands of these unreferenced non-notable biographies and they harm the encyclopedia. Drawn Some (talk) 13:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Guidelines are intended to be flexible., Whether multiple means two or three, depends on the circumstances. I am not necessarily talking about this article, which is not in my subject. Even if a guideline said that explicitly that 3 or more were required, it would still be interpreted to allow exceptions. DGG (talk) 22:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC) PS. I unindented this by one level. decltype (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep per the guideline. Has had significant roles in multiple notable productions, assuming that her role as the daughter of John Adams was significant. decltype (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
