Let's add the circumstance that the denominational magazines have
carried article on this, and that it has reached at least one regional
general news source. Given that, I'd add a paragraph to the article on
the husband. I really don't like article than highlight people's
failures when there isnt anything of true public value to say, or any
fundamental controversy.
But now suppose instead of her failing, that she simply carries it on,
and it continues to maintain its style, but without any addition or
original creative work of her own. then what?

Hypothetical scenario:
There's a late night TV minister who specializes in polyglot
examinations of particular Biblical
words and phrases, focusing on the nexus between Hebrew, Greek and
Latin translations,
but also going into related languages like Aramaic, Arabic, and
sometimes even English.
He marries a pretty younger woman who can't sing very well, but
after each sermon she sings
solo anyway. Before passing from cancer, he ordains his wife as a
minister and bequeathed
his ministry to her. After a hiatus, she began ministering to his
former congregation on
broadcast TV. She tries unsuccessfully to copy the late
minister's style, as she naturally
lacks his substantial erudition and gravitas, eventually finding
her own style.
The question for the list that this scenario raises is: is this person
(the wife) notable? There is no question as to the notablity of the
husband, but the wife, by virtue of her career choice, appears to be
likewise. Would there be an objection to the creation of an article
about the wife, and if so, on what policy grounds?
