Not notable for being the adopted son of famous people, as notability is not WP:INHERITED. That places his notability on commentary on allegations against his father, which calls into WP:BLP1E. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:11, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Moses Farrow has been the subject of intense news coverage at three points in the last 20 years: during his dramatic courtroom testimony and subsequent media interviews in 1994, during his headline-grabbing denunciation of Mia Farrow in the 2000s, and - most recently - during his defense of Woody Allen in 2014. This is not a case of WP:INHERITED or WP:BLP1E; Farrow has (1) been the subject of news coverage for statements he has made, and not simply for being the child of someone notable, and (2) has not been in the news for a single event, but for 3 distinct and spatially separate events. If Wikipedia were a print encyclopedia and space were at a premium, yes, Moses Farrow is not Dorothy Hamill or Jimmy Carter. But it's not. He meets criteria sufficient to at least warrant a stub.

Keep per comments by BlueSalix. The WP:INHERITED essay is part of Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. It would come into play if a vote Keep was based not on the sources but on who a person is. No one is claiming notability based on who he is. Invoking the essay in the nomination is a strawman against an argument that was never made. Notability is based on significant coverage in reliable sources, of course any source that discusses Moses is going to mention his famous father it can't be helped. As for 1E there has been long term coverage with multiple events. Those events have a common theme but they are not the same event, it's a stretch to interpret regular coverage over 30 some years as a single event, as discussed at BLP1E about persistent coverage. Also BLP1E requires a person to be a low profile individual and Moses is not low profile. -- GreenC 21:10, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
