[edit] Walter talboys

Walter talboys (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Unsourced bio of a man whose notability is that he was a 10th great grandfather of George Washington. If I'm counting "greats" correctly, George Washington (and everyone else) had 8,192 "10th great grandparents." ➥the Epopt 03:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, very much not notable. I agree with User:The Epopt, should we also list all of his other 8191 ancestors in this generation? JIP | Talk 05:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: Actually, there may be slightly fewer than 8192 ancestors. When relations get distant enough, even blood relatives can marry each other, so it's possible a married couple share common ancestors. For example, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh have the same great-great-grandmother. JIP | Talk 18:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Okay, let's go crazy and say there are only 5,000. We still don't need articles for them. Kafziel Talk 20:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
        • Yes, I never claimed it made Walter Talboys any more notable. JIP | Talk 06:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete NN. Anyway, with that distance (of relationship) and no references it's probably not true. James086Talk 08:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per James086, or we need references (Lord and Sheriff can make he notable). --Cate | Talk 11:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Kafziel Talk 20:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete on grounds of WP:NOT a genealogy. I doubt whether it can be proved that he was actually related to George Washington, but he would not be notable in any case. Sam Blacketer 20:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
