Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darwin kids
Non-famous sons and daughters of Charles Darwin. Do not deserve an article.Bogdan | Talk 12:15, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Definitely delete Mary (died as a baby). No vote on the others. DJ Clayworth 16:15, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Keep Elizabeth and William. More information can be added to the articles. And if they're the children of Charles Darwin, you better believe they're famous. TheCustomOfLife 16:18, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Why keep them ? There are 200 hits of Elizabeth Darwin [1], mostly genealogy. (65 for William Erasmus) Bogdan | Talk 18:12, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Your reasoning is that they're not famous. They are, even if their claim to fame is through their father. TheCustomOfLife 01:55, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not "A genealogical or biographical dictionary.". Biographies should be written for people with some achievements. Bogdan | Talk 12:42, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- If that's their only claim to fame, then the information belongs in the article on Charles Darwin and these should be deleted. - Centrx 20:03, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Keep William at least. If no one else does, I'll try to add some of the things he did. The whole family staid involved in public life and sciences for a good, long time. Geogre 17:16, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect Mary Eleanor to Charles Darwin. No vote on the others. Andrewa 06:43, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Sorry, I created these. The problem with having them separately is that they ought to be merged both into the Charles Darwin and the Emma Darwin articles, and Charles Darwin is long enough as it is, other children such as Leonard Darwin definitely deserve pages, but hey be bold in editing pages; :) Dunc_Harris|☺ 20:40, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Delete unless expanded beyond basic genealogical information. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:09, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Redirect. Dates now merged from William Erasmus Darwin, Mary Eleanor Darwin, Elizabeth Darwin. Also merged dates from Anne Darwin. --Zigger 21:18, 2004 Jun 22 (UTC)
- Keep. anthony (see warning)
- Keep all three. Makes sense to have a brief summary and link to Charles Darwin, even for Mary. Wile E. Heresiarch 21:44, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I vote for keeping at least Anne Darwin. Her loss was a formative, if horrific, event in Darwin's life, and it can be treated in more detail than the Charles Darwin article would have space for in the 32 K limit. Probably the other kids could use articles for the same reason.
