Personally, I don't object to this page being here, . . . but under the WP rules ("What Wikipedia Is Not"), I think this would jhave to be considered "genealogy." Henry Younger's only claim to fame was being the father of the Younger brothers and if it weren't for that happenstance, he would not be worthy of inclusion on any other grounds. --Michael K Smith^Talk 18:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think this genealogical entry and that of Bersheba Leighton Fristoe are needed to support the reader's understanding of the James–Younger Gang and the Younger brothers. By not having them, there is a risk that these people and the family details will be written about in greater detail in multiple other articles. At least here it is all provided in a single place and the article serves as a "list" for other articles. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
