Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamnet Shakespeare
I'm surprised by the element of certainty in some of the !voting here. On the one hand, "notability is not inherited" is |part of an essay on arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. What it really means is "notability is not ''automatically'' inherited" and hence is a weak argument ''on its own''. Wikipedia at least tolerates many articles on family members who wouldn't be notable were it not for the family connection. The Shakespeare family has a Template:Relatebardtree|whole tree containing over 10 people whose lives are known and researched primarily because of the link with WS himself. Of course "other stuff exists" is not an argument on its own either
— NONE, NONE
