Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Washington (1475)
Notability is |not inherited, so people who have no notability claim in their own right do not get Wikipedia articles just because they happen to be ancestors of notable people. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a genealogy site — John Washington would have to have achieved something encyclopedic in his own right, not just be a branch of somebody else's family tree, to qualify for a standalone article about him
