If a person is "notable" only because s/he is a relative of someone notable, then it logically follows that nearly everyone in the world is notable. Far too many names on this list seem to be present only because the person has a wikipedia page and is related to some historically significant figure, IMHO. (For instance, why is a person who is notable for being a personnel director qualify for inclusion?)174.131.48.89 (talk) 05:42, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your example is referring to F. Trubee Davison, who was a lot more than just a "personnel director." Of all the entries in this list you chose the one with his picture on the cover of Time magazine as someone who isn't worth mentioning? A quick view through his Wikipedia article shows that he's more than notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. As for the others, they all seem to warrant their own articles. There are a lot of Roosevelts listed, but if you believe that one or more of those individuals do not warrant a Wikipedia article I would suggest that you address it on those individual talk pages. - Aoidh (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
