Article is being repeatedly redirected and restored. Listing for consensus on whether this should be kept as a BLP or redirected noting WP:INHERIT. Is the father if Britney Spears independently notable given appearance in recent news events? Polyamorph ( talk) 13:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect - notability is not inherited, and there is nothing that is not based on his relationship with his daughter. After redirection, protect from recreation. Onel5969 TT me 13:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep for now I would have agreed with the above until quite recently, but he seems to have become a public figure in his own right because of the controversy about the conservatorship, which has resulted in the public spotlight becoming focused on him as an individual. (See any news search for his name today.) If this turns out to be wrong, the article can always be re-merged into the Britney Spears article. -- The Anome ( talk) 14:27, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect and protect redirect this to Britney Spears because he's not notable enough to receive his own article and inherits much of notability from his daughter and events around the two. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ ( talk) 14:30, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect The sole narrative of
WP:SIGCOV of this individual is in the context of his daughter's estate. This is in the spirit of
WP:BLP1E, if not the literal interpretation. I don't find any significant coverage of him otherwise. If there is future coverage that is not just about Britney or the conservatorship, the redirect can easily be reverted and a proper
biography filled in.

- comment having seen Lowellian's suggestion, I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should redirect to Britney or Jamie Lynn. I don't know if most readers would be searching for the father ( WP:RECENTISM) or the daughter when searching for "jamie spears". Schazjmd (talk) 00:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Jamie Lynn Spears, not Britney Spears. Jamie Lynn Spears is more notable than her father, and "Jamie Spears" in public discourse commonly referred to her until recent news, and the father should not be overemphasized due to WP:RECENTISM. We can then add a hatlink to the Jamie Lynn Spears article pointing to Britney Spears for those looking for the father's conservatorship role. — Lowellian ( reply) 00:22, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Jamie Lynn Spears per above; once the buzz around the documentary dies down this should be far more clear-cut a decision. Gnomingstuff ( talk) 05:54, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
