Hugh Jackson (businessman)

Delete No evidence that he meets WP:BIO guidelines. This was prodded with a prod2, but this was removed and instead a merger was suggested with Andrew Jackson, Sr.. However, this article is also up for deletion, and shows no evidence of notability. Boleyn (talk) 17:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG. Hugh Jackson's claim to fame is that he was the grandfather of US President Andrew Jackson. Notability is not inheritable. Cnilep (talk) 20:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:N. Also, article is unsourced, and I have a hard time believing multiple sources exist that have Jackson as their primary subject. Throwaway85 (talk) 23:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A completely ordinary, unremarkable small businessman. His chief claim to fame seems to be having a prominent grandson, but notability is not inherited. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:29, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This article is the subject of an active merger discussion. I don't how splitting the discussion between three places (including Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew Jackson, Sr.) helps us to come to a reasonable consensus about how to deal with these articles. I would note that Andrew Jackson already runs to 69K so it is ripe for the creation of some WP:summary style sub-articles. Let's have a discussion about how to organise the information about President Jackson's family in one place rather than have three separate discussions going on (maybe with a Family of Andrew Jackson article). I just checked out the speedy keep guideline and see that it doesn't include articles about which a discussion is already taking place elsewhere. It should do so to avoid us having multiple discussions about the same thing. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: That is indeed a legitimate concern, but note that no one has spoken in favor of a merger. Indeed, three of the four comments (from me, Boleyn, and JamesBWatson) argue that subject is non-notable. The fourth comment is from User:Dock26 Pwnage, an indefinitely blocked sock puppet of the page's creator, and recommends that the page remain independent.
