Delete. Non-notable parent of a notable person, fails WP:NOTINHERITED. WWGB (talk) 12:51, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is regarding the death of famous filmmaker Tyler Perry's mother, and most notably, she is also the person who the iconic Tyler Perry character "Madea" is based on. I would think that being the real-life person that "Madea" is based on would be enough for inclusion regardless of also being Tyler Perry's mother, but if that is not the case, than by all means delete the listing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pharaway (talk • contribs) 14:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect into the Tyler Perry article: the information about her all pertains to her relationship to Tyler, but (if sources can be found to prove it) her influence on the Madea character would be legitimate for inclusion in the article on her son.

Merge and redirect agreed...she isn't notable but if as mentioned above it is citeable that she was the influence it could be noted on her son's profile. 78.86.230.62 (talk) 06:19, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be appropriate. The sources are available to prove her influence in creating Madea - there are numerous articles available to cite with quotes from Tyler Perry and there is also an audio interview with Perry where he talks about her influence on the source EInsiders which has already been cited.

Delete: per WP:BIO, WP:NOTABILITY. Not entitled to her own article because of the accomplishments of her son. [email protected] (talk) 12:38, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
