Not notable individual, coatracked on a very notable brother, Off2riorob (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notable in his own right. It's true that his notability is contingent upon his brother's fame, but there are sufficient newspaper articles about him from which to write a bio. Woogee (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Recipient of a controversial presidential pardon, at least. bd2412 T 23:14, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- Really if you are going to keep him for a reason you should have at least to cite that reason in the article, I assume he has had this pardon for sometime and yet after about 4 years we have this uncited rubbish of a stub, as it is if no one is prepared to improve it then it is worthy of nothing but deletion, in fact he has had this uncited pardon since 2001. I wouldn't say that asserts notability either. Off2riorob (talk) 23:20, 14 March 2010 . What is he actually notable for?(UTC)

Keep He is certainly notable enough for an article. That the article could do with some expansion is clear, but I'm not sure I understand the reason for proposing its deletion. He isn't exactly the only minor celebrity on Wikipedia, or even the only embarrassing brother of a president. -Rrius (talk) 01:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A very minor figure, to be certain, but he passes WP:BIO. Warrah (talk) 19:43, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just passing through. His most noteworthy aspect was that he was (as I understand it) an embarrassment to his famous relative. Frankly, he wasn't as embarrassing as Billy Carter, whose shenanigans caught the attention of the nation. Perhaps he'd be worthy of inclusion in an article on embarrassing presidential relatives?

Keep. Yes, he is a famous brother and yes, he has garnered significant secondary source coverage. The article even cites his continuing celebrity as a guest star on TV shows and appearance in films. This seems to satisfy WP:NRVE. Yoninah (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
