Why go with this complicated article title instead of simply 'Errol Musk'? Am I missing some context? QRep2020 (talk) 23:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without fulltext access to the paywalled Afrikaans sources, I wasn't sure we could do justice to an actual biography of his life at this time -- most of the English-language sources merely document his controversial relationships with son, wife, and step-daughter-turned-wife.

That is not how Wikipedia works. I would name it Errol Musk, make a Personal life section, and call the article a stub (incomplete, work in progress). Hikeddeck (talk) 01:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does look like that's what's gonna wind up happening here. Feoffer (talk) 02:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Generally for a page to be notable, it has to be independently notable. Errol Musk is not in any way notable other than his relation to Elon Musk. Ergzay (talk) 01:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Errol Musk is not in any way notable other than his relation to Elon Musk That's demonstrably false: His political career (72-83) was covered extensively. e.g: "Reaction against the Establishment." (9 Mar 1972) Pretoria News, and "The reported resignation of Errol Musk, the PFP candidate for Sunnyside (Pretoria) election the 1981 elections was made a front-page story. Die Burger. 4 October 1983." Feoffer (talk) 05:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
