Covered in many sources, but almost none talk about her in her own right; only in the context of Newt Gingrich. NYyankees51 (talk) 02:03, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If she was featured in Esquire and the Woman of the Year for Ms., I think that passes the notability requirement. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 02:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Yes, all of the coverage is based on her being Newt's half-sister and a voice for HRC because she's Newt's half-sister and a guest on Maddow and Olbermann because she's Newt's half-sister and the coverage in Advocate, NY Post, huffingtonpost, The Independent, NY Daily News, etc. are because she's Newt's half-sister. If she weren't Newt's half-sister, we would probably not have heard of her. Kinda like Billy Carter, except that we have a much better photo of Carter and there's no Candace Beer. In the end, though, we have enough for an admittedly small (but non-stub) article. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: coverage the direct result of relation to Newt. Notability is not inherited.– Lionel ^(talk) 06:40, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notability is not inherited, but it often arises from connections. The subject has received sufficient attention in her own right, including an award, and other recognition, that she is now notable in her own right. Will Beback talk 08:07, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meets WP:GNG. There is absolutely no doubt about this.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:44, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the Article Rescue Squadron's list of content for rescue consideration -- I am doing this because the article really could use improvement.. Milowent • ^hasspoken 18:47, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not every family member he has gets coverage. And they don't just talk about in relationship to him. She wouldn't get the praise of the two magazines mentioned just for being someone's relative. Dream Focus 19:06, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "Notability is not inherited" doesn't mean "you can't be notable if you have a notable relative." Plenty of coverage about her and her public activities. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:08, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, significantly improved sourcing since nomination -- for example, http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,294019,00.html --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We're not saying that she's notable because of her relation to Newt, we're saying that she's notable because she's being noted by significant sources. If we couldn't say that someone was notable if their initial boost came off of being related to someone, hey, there's goes George W. Bush. She does not get banned from notability consideration because she's related to Newt. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:39, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable, notable, notable. Sources demonstrate that she is not only notable due to her relationship with her ~~father~~ half-brother.--He to Hecuba (talk) 21:24, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Father? Now that would be a news story. :-) --Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:28, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
