per GRBerry. I too think that the nominator is misinterpreting the "notability not inherited principle". The latter means that a subject is not notable simply by virtue of being closely associated to another notable subject. However, if the subject receives significant coverage (for whatever reason), the subject is notable. Fanny Alger is notable not simply because she was a wife of Joseph smith but because she received sibstantial coverage by independent reliable sources. It is completely unnecessary for the person to accomplish anything of note or to be remarkable in any way watsoever to be notable. The only thing that counts is if there is sufficient coverage or not. Compare, as an extreme example, to the case of Klara Hitler, Adolf Hitler's mother. She also seems to have been a rather unremarkable person, who, nevertheless, absolutely merits a WP article because of the substantial coverage she received. Granted, this coverage was motivated exclusively by the fact that she was Hitler's mother, but the motivation of sources providing the coverage is immaterial in determining notability. In the case of Fanny Alger the sources listed in the article already put this case over the  bar
