Obviously several members of this family are very notable, but there are others listed that should probably be removed because they lack significant accomplishments, and simply being a member of a famous family is not enough. Also, parts the article are approaching family genealogy and should be paired down. I can take this task on myself, but given the political nature of Limbaugh I thought I'd ask for comment first. If anybody more knowledgeable than I wants to take a crack feel free. Grey Wanderer ( talk) 22:26, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
I would argue that Christen Limbaugh, a Fox News personality and writer is notable. Same with Stephen N. Limbaugh III, who is an extremely successful composer and pianist. He had citations in the Los Angeles Times, Hollywood Reporter, the Southeast Missourian, Rush Limbaugh's website, and elsewhere. They should definitely be added back in.
Re, Grey Wanderer, James Limbaugh is "merely" a hospital president. Others were "merely" local prosecutors or judges. None except for David have also been mentioned in major publications such as the Washington Post or Hollywood Reporter. Stephen Limbaugh III starred in the biggest documentary of 2016 that was in theaters. His album charted on Billboard. It is unquestionably worth mention. I may report you for trolling the Limbaugh page because it appears that you are removing reasonable entries for political or personal reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:6270:9200:5C0B:18B7:2D5B:439B ( talk) 19:35, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Limbaugh family →
Category:Limbaugh family – While an important family the genealogy is better suited to the family background section of the individual articles, and the family does not rise to the level of prominence of a full article nor of listing its various semi-notable individuals in one article.

Stephen Limbaugh Sr. Is listed as being born in 1927, and married to wife Anne from 1930-2017. Clearly a typo since he didn’t marry his wife when he was 3-years old. 70.21.27.8 ( talk) 01:05, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
