First Spouses of the United States

[edit]

My hope is that this list will help faciltate the creation of indepth biographical articles for each of the First Ladies and First Gentlemen of the United States, which are lacking so far. I also hope that lists of all First Spouses will eventually be created for each state and territory as well. (For example, First Spouses of California or List of First Spouses of Missouri, etc.) As far as I know, there are no lists like this on Wikipedia yet. Have a good day!

But should we presume notability? In the great majority of cases, it seems the spouses have no in-depth coverage in independent sources. A few lines in the respective governors' biographies is of course a good idea, but separate articles and lists seem like overkill (with the obvious exceptions like Jean Carnahan, Nancy Reagan, and so forth, notable for other reasons than being a gubernatorial spouse). - Biruitorul Talk 05:26, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

[edit]

This isn't about the United States but the separate states. It should have a name like "List of state first spouses in the United States" or "List of first spouses of states in the United States". 75.41.110.200 (talk) 03:16, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had grappled with what to name this list. Suggestions welcomed!Scanlan (talk) 13:18, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
