(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence that the family itself is notable. All refs are about individual members of the family and not about the family as an entity. Even the refs themselves are very poor mostly sourced to IMDB. Interesting though the relationships maybe, those that are significant can be (and are) included on the articles of the individual notable members of the family. The rest is just run-of-the-mill family history stuff which Wikipedia doesn't do per WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   09:25, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The page can be simplified, with the Beverly Carradine section merely repeating informatioon already on his page. However the John Carradine section is more significant and is worth keeping to explain the relationships between various actors over 3 generations and how they often worked together in various combinations.Cjc13 (talk) 13:11, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I don't understand the nomination. Bearian (talk) 18:44, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian - apologies if the nomination was unclear. My argument is that simply because a family has several prominent and notable members, doesn't make the family itself notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. To give another example, Julian Lloyd Webber, Andrew Lloyd Webber and their father William Lloyd Webber are all notable,but that doesn't mean that the Lloyd Webber family as an entity is notable. Indeed we do not have an article about that family . I believe the same to be true here. Several members of the family are notable and have articles, but no reliable sources discuss the family as an entity.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   21:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
