Deletion of List of Children of the Presidents of the United States

Comment: RockMFR makes a good argument. References listed, including "All the presidents children", so it meets  and when someone writes a whole book on the subject, it meets  as well. The president's immediate family are ''always'' well covered in decent biographies, so the subject is of sufficient interest to support a list like this. Many of the children have individual articles, and the page is therefore a useful navigational tool as well

Comment: I haven't seen the other debate.  This is one of the few instances where I feel justified to invoke #PAPER.  I feel the information about children of presidents should be preserved, especially since many (but not all!) of them do have articles, and because presidents themselves are inherently super-notable.  Perhaps I would have created this information discretely in each president's article, but what's done is done, and it's too much trouble to alter the status quo with a massive merge

Comment: A number of people have argued, above, that the list should be deleted because it contains people who are not notable (gist: "If they're notable give them their own article.").  That is a misapprehension of how  works.   applies to the ''subject'' of an article; not to every individual fact within an article.  In a biographical article, the ''subject'' of the article -- the person discussed -- must be notable.  In a article about a topic (which is what a list is), not every individual component need be individually notable.  See, e.g.,  which describes making lists of characters in books, rather than individual pages for books
