Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Francis Reuel Tolkien
Tolkien is dead, has been dead for a while, and will probably remain dead for the forseeable future, so   is not in play. His father is *very* famous and important, and for very famous and important people, we tend to lower the bar a little bit I think. This is more in deference to the fact that people want to know more lots of details (such as what's the deal with their children etc.) for very famous and important people, more than can fit in their article, than it is to independent notability of the offspring per se. We can see that there is a :Category:J. R. R. Tolkien which has ten subcategories and 51 other pages, so if there's any reasonable basis for including stuff like his minor works, his mentors, his lovers, his children, and so forth, we should consider that people are going to be interested in that
