Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rankin family of Geelong
These people are all notable individually, but I'm not seeing the coverage of them as a family. A substantial portion of the article is essentially duplication of information that belongs on each individual page. Although the sources are difficult to examine as they're mostly offline, from what I can tell there is precisely ''one'' source dealing with them as a family, which appears to be an article in an obscure local journal ''by a member of the Rankin family''!! The fact that a family has multiple notable individuals does not lead to notability; there has to be coverage of the ''family itself''. For example, in Jenks24's Ablett family example above, there are at least four sources cited dealing with the family and not just the various individuals. (Harvey brothers I'm less convinced about, but I'm nowhere near knowledgeable enough in the area to pursue deleting a GA.) In short, the family as distinct from the individuals does not come close to meeting . Some of the information could be '''merged''' back into individual articles
