Deletion of Middleton family (2nd nomination)

Comment: There is clearly  and the family is unlikely to disappear soon. One single family article is better than the individual ones

Comment: to Middleton (name).  The article has been created as a disruptive |content fork.  It has some scope as a useful search term but should not be used as a compendium of individual biographies because these would tend to violate  by associating the doings of separate family members together even when they are independent.  There tend to be black sheep in large families and it would be improper to taint separate biographies with such associations

Comment: The question is whether the ''family'' is notable, not any individual member of it. The risk is that the article becomes a series of biographies of people not notable enough for their own separate articles cobbled together into one page. What I would expect is a general article about the family history etc, with individual members mentioned as appropriate within that history - and, perhaps, small subsections devoted to the more notable family members as an addendum. That concern aside, the family does appear to be notable. It is now linked to the House of Windsor. This is relevant and sufficient now, but consider also that the union is expected to result on the birth of a future monarch whose heritage will then include the Middleton family.  doesn't seem to prohibit that assumption, saying "individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place": it would obviously be notable and we have reliable sources confirming the couple intention to have children, eg the http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11770033 BBC. Furthmore, we have good, reliable, sources to populate this article and further attest to the notability of the family: the http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13050232 BBC for example (note also the links there to that article's sources), http://www.channel4.com/programmes/meet-the-middletons/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1 Channel 4, etc
