The first article on this subject made Wikipedia look like it had accidentally linked to some cheap celebrity magazine. Now it looks like gossip trivia trying to camouflage itself in an encyclopedic entry. Some estates are too obscure for an encyclopedia, some are valued. Given time, Wikipedia will no doubt find where it draws the line with regards to Killiechassie. In the meantime, as established by reasoned debate -
notability is not inherited: why has this article not removed the JK Rowling references?
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Killiechassie_House
The JK Rowling references are trivial gossip more suited to Hello magazine – not notable. I suggest these references are removed for this reason and also to respect the privacy of her family. I find it remarkable that Wikipedia goes to such lengths to protect the privacy of its own members and yet appears to have no respect for the privacy of Ms Rowling's family. The house itself is nothing special and most of the historical references concerning it are archaic and trivial. This article only ever appeared because of JK Rowling's link to the house.

" I find it remarkable that Wikipedia goes to such lengths to protect the privacy of its own members and yet appears to have no respect for the privacy of Ms Rowling's family. " LOL Angela you called me childish on your talk page for suggesting that protecting Rowling had anything to do with your reasons. The only embarrassing thing I see here is your gross overreaction to this and inappropriate rambling. It's a legitimate article on a notable country estate which happened to be bought by a famous writer. Had it been a house with no other sources than being Rowling's house then you'd have a point. What's more disgusting here is that you think we should blast perfectly fine encyclopedic content just because your favourite writer might not like it. "it looks like gossip trivia", um no, it looks like your typical encyclopedic entry on a country house/listed building with a brief mentioning of its purchase by a writer.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:36, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
5 citations not 3. No aggressive language was used. I stick to the comment about hypocracy. Children should be afforded privacy from having their parents' houses listed in Did You Knows? on Wikipedia if their parent/s are celebrities. God knows it's not much to ask. Listing it on the Did You Know section will simply lead to a further flow of idiots to her property. I take it the subject of children has been left out of the discussion because there are fewer women involved in Wikipedia. Lennon and other celebrities were harrassed by people who thought they had some right to invade their privacy. As for JKR she's not my favourite author. That's my last comment here - as both sides are now repeating themselves - rainy days will see me editing elsewhere if time permits. Angela MacLean ( talk) 18:15, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
Shall we delete The Tower House too because Jimmy Page happens to live there and worry that a legion of fruit n nut cakes will start marching their way to his house after seeing it on wikipedia? Ludicrous.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
