Hawkeye7, do you think Kate Starbird (granddaughter) and Margaret Starbird (d-i-l, wife of Edward), should link in here? Both legitimately notable, although in different contexts. (His sister Catherine, who wrote as Kaye Starbird, probably (a)isn't really notable enough as an author to get blue linked, and (b) will certainly get so soon, once the Overcoming Systemic Somethingorother Kabal gets wind of her.)

You bet! I have added them. I notice also that Margaret Starbird is also the granddaughter of Herman Beukema, one of Dwight Eisenhower's classmates. Hawkeye7 ( talk) 21:15, 27 June 2017 (UTC) reply

West Pointers aren't just born, they're in(ter?)bred!

Some of the prosopographics are needed, some are useful, and some are just bar-bet trivia, so I wasn't comfortable adding this without some discussion, since next thing someone else might add stuff about the Mayor of San Jose or Kustom Kars; at some point it goes too far afield. First cousins and grandkids are about as far as I'd add without an underlying pattern. Anmccaff ( talk) 21:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC) reply

On a separate note, Colonel Edward Starbird did some good stuff with Nashville District, but I think the Notability Kabal would disapprove. Anmccaff ( talk) 21:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC) reply
