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 polyglotexaminations 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, butafter 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?
