Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people known as father or mother of something
It’s an excellent sub-index of notable people, contributes to accessibility of their entries, and definitely belongs in a comprehensive encyclopedia.  Both the person and the thing need to be notable enough to have their own entries, as is mostly the case.  Non-notable entries should be removed.  Ideas for reorganization should be left to editors involved.  #DIRECTORY does not apply as that policy section is intended to prevent directories of wikipedia content, which are necessary for accessibility
