Sinden family[edit]

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

Unreferenced as a "family" - does not meet WP:GNG and could be merged to the Sinden or Sinden (surname) article. Please note I have NO connection to these people, save a common surname. -- Rob Sinden (talk) 13:21, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Most of it is mentioned on Donald Sinden; the exception is Topsy Sinden but nobody seems to know her exact relation to Donald Sinden. I only found one page calling her a "forebear".[1] If we can't even establish their relationship, it seems a bit much to claim they're a family. Unsure about redirect/delete/merge/etc. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:05, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have added the only other sourced detail I can find in Donald Sinden's autobiography, (Laughter In The Second Act Donald Sinden, Hodder & Stoughton 1985 page 9), showing that Topsy Sinden and her brother Bert are his distant cousins, which he discovered "when researching his family's genealogy".

Merge to Sinden (surname). Typically relations are noted on dab pages through indenting or commenting. "Family" specific articles need more sourcing about the family as a whole, and that is usually hard (e.g. the Kennedy family). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:26, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Sinden (surname). Sir Donald and his two sons can be adequately linked via their respective articles. We do not encourage family articles, particularly one like this which is nothing but a list of names. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:02, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
