Does she really warrant an article? Other than being described as a homemaker the article is full of nothing but trivia. Williamgeorgefraser 15:38, 1 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamgeorgefraser (talk • contribs)
Don't know if you want to reccomend AFD, but if you do, I think it should have a strong Keep. Mrs. Rodham is the mother of an important political figure and has campaigned for Secretary Clinton. V. Joe (talk) 21:09, 1 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well if no-one else wants to recommend AfD, I'm tempted. WP:NOTINHERITED specifically states "parent notability should be established independently; notability is not inherited "up", from notable subordinate to parent". I see nothing in the article supporting notability other than Howell Rodham's notable daughter; and the large list of references appear to be in two categories: articles primarily about Hilary, and historic records (census, yearbook) which don't confer notability.

It already went to AFD a couple of years ago and survived (see the link in the box above). It will survive again. If you look at Category:Parents of Presidents of the United States you'll see that there are already 54 articles about parents of U.S. presidents. This article is similar to most of those except it is better sourced. Wikipedia has a lot of problems, but the existence of these articles isn't one of them.

I've added a video of President Obama discussing her life. I'm not crazy about the position on the page, but I'm not sure there is much of an alternative. Feel free to move it around. Ben (Major Bloodnok) (talk) 21:11, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
She will remain famous for being famous; her daughter will highlight her in her "Hillary for POTUS" speech tomorrow. Many Wikipedia readers and Google-searchers will arrive at this page this weekend. -- AstroU (talk) 23:24, 12 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
