Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Obama family (2nd nomination)
Many editors have made the argument that notability for this article has been established because many of the subjects have been mentioned in multiple |reliable sources.  However, this returns to my original point that |notability is not inherited.  Yes, there are multiple reliable sources, but none of these involve anyone doing anything notable on their own, they are always  in the context of how it relates to the notable Barack Obama.  By way of example, there have been literally thousands of articles written in the last week about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie|Angelina Jolie's newborn twins, but there is a reason that we do not have an article about them on Wikipedia.  They are not inherently notable and haven't done anything to make themselves notable other than be born in the same family as notable people. Likewise, most of the subjects of this article are not inherently notable and those that are already have extensive articles written about them
