or '''Merge''' to hubby's article. |Notability is not inherited. Spouses, siblings, parents, and children of political leaders get lots of derivative press mentions. In my view, that does not amount to notability. If they use the opportunity thus afforded them to do things on their own which make them notable, then they should have their own articles. If they are mentioned in the press merely for being the politician's family member (rather than as, say, an author, a foreign agent, an entrepreneur, an artist, an entertainer or a criminal), then they should similarly be covered only in the politician's article
