"I disagree with deletion of this article. This historical figure is the mother of one of the founding fathers of the US, Alexander Hamilton. Her husband, who is not a historical figure related to a significant luminary, has had a Wikipedia page for significantly longer. Rachel raised Alexander and his brother as a single mother and this upbringing granted him a strength of character to in turn contribute significantly in US history. Deleting the page for his mother is erasing that background for an important figure." <-- User:Jendoxx

Keep I don't see how this article is selling anything... I think she passes WP:GNG, since a number of reliable sources discuss her and her impact on Alexander Hamilton (a different thing, I think from just being "related to" him). Furius (talk) 09:48, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Two of the references are Amazon book entries. So it is advertising the books on here. Plain and Simple. There was other references that were taken including a Jstor refs, to replaced by the Amazon refs. On top of that no coverage worth speaking of. scope_creep^Talk 10:22, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they should have formatted the reference to refer to the books directly. But the two books are by different authors and different publishers. It seems extremely unlikely to me that this is part of a conspiracy to sell books. I don't understand what you are saying about the JSTOR reference. In addition to references to this figure in every book on Alexander Hamilton, there are also discussions of her here, here, here ... Furius (talk) 12:27, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. Also, notability is WP:NOTINHERETED. KidAd • SPEAK 19:44, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Alexander Hamilton#Childhood in the Caribbean. The use of Amazon links in references is clearly innocent, and not an attempt to sell books. But there's no content in this article that isn't adequately covered in the childhood section of the Alexander Hamilton article. There are very few reliable secondary sources that discuss his mother, because little was known or documented about her in primary sources. Her only notability rested on being Hamilton's mother.
