Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariane Pearl
touching. However, my grandmother died after a two year struggle with cancer. She had the profund courage to not let it affect her relationship with her grandchildren, nor bring down the family's spirits when she was around. She had outlived two husbands and a child, and had the "spiritual" courage (if that's really what you want to call it) to never become a human being so deeply entrenched in her own pathos that she failed to resonate with those around her. However moving, profound, and "inspirational" (ugh) her story may be, it is not worthy of a Wikipedia article. There is really nothing, outside of the context of her husband's death, that I could say about Mariane Pearl that would be  - and so, since she cannot be divorced (no pun intended) from her husband's claim to fame, it makes little sense to divorce mention of her from the article about her husband. Once stripping away the padding, the article is basically, "Ms. Pearl was born on  in . Her parents are . She now lives in , doing  for a living. Her husband was beheaded by terrorists. She wrote  about , which is currently being made into a movie which stars ." - nothing which can't be a subsection of the Daniel Pearl article. At the risk of sounding completely caustic: If one really needs to know her spiritually, morally profound and courageous story, he or she can read the Daniel Pearl article whilst imagining that he or she is Pearl's wife
