The result was delete. Deletion is mandated by WP:BLP as this consists of (at least potentially) contentious and essentially unsourced assertions about living people. Sandstein 07:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Political families of Philadelphia

This page is an example of what Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of tangentially related things. One source, a dead link from 2008, purports that in ~~Pennsylvania~~ Philadelphia, political families are important. This claim is not otherwise substantiated. "Political families" should encompass more than two individuals, while many of these entries are limited to two. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I found and inserted an active link for the 2006 article. Location (talk) 11:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but retitle List of political families of Philadelphia. If it is a list it has concrete inclusion criteria, finite length, meets the test of verifiability, has a navigational function, and constitutes a rational and potentially useful aggregation of names and links. As an article? Not so much. Carrite (talk) 15:45, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is original synthesis (WP:SYNTH) unless each of these "political families" has been covered as such by reliable third-party sources. Anthem of joy (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A few of the individual names are in the one source provided, however, most of them are not. Without multiple sources, I think this runs afoul of WP:SYNTH and WP:GNG. Location (talk) 11:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Carrite. --evrik ^(talk) 18:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
