My position is that, where we have sufficiently detailed information (i.e.  
more than just the name and dates), and where this information is  
factually verifiable, it is OK to have it in a separate article. This is  
true for the Elias Disney article (Walt's father), but not for the Kepple  
Disney II article, which just reads:

"Kepple Disney II(November 2 , 1832 - May, 1891. American farmer born in  
Kellis, Kansas to Arundel Elias Disney and Maria Swan. He is mostly known  
as Walt Disney's grandfather."

That article should be deleted and the information moved to the Walt  
article.  In general, I think the family tree should be part of the main  
[[Walt Disney]] article, but having redirects from the individual name  
pages to there would be OK.
