The phrase "...is the elder child and only daughter of Stephen Benn and Nita Clarke (née Bowes)" leaves it ambiguous as to whether her parents were married at the time of her birth, or are married now, or both, or neither. I don't know the factual answer in this case -- can a clearer phrasing be used? --mervyn 18:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Why is there such detail on the records this woman would break in the very unlikely event of her being elected? - V
Not being real familiar with UK politics, I don't know what "MP" is in this context. Would someone please put the definition of "MP" in here somewhere? Preferably with a link to the Wikipedia article about it. Thanks! 205.245.254.151 23:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)anon

Emily Benn is the fifth generation of her family to be involved in politics - which is probably a record, even allowing for 'noblemen involved in central government administration (not having hereditary positions).'
Going more global, how many other political families are there extending beyond the parent-child set up? Offhand the run seems to be about three - the Nehru/Gandhis and the (US) Kennedys being the most obvious: are there others? Jackiespeel (talk) 16:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Along with "royals and politicals reaching 90+ and beyond (Otto von Habsburg is probably the current holder of both titles) - and there are only 'a handful' who have reached 100+) an obscure category that will never make a Wiki article. Jackiespeel (talk) 22:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
I can't see how this person is notable. Being the youngest parliamentary candidate at the time she stood, by virtue of the law having been changed, but not being elected, is ardly enough.87.231.185.157 (talk) 22:33, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources establishes a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a stand-alone article.
I have made Ms. Benn's job description more specific. "Banker" is perhaps a somewhat nebulous term. The page referenced didn't actually call her a "banker"; it just said that she "works at UBS investment bank", which could just as easily refer to a cleaner. She isn't a cleaner, though! I found a page that defines her job more specifically as being on the "multi-asset sales team" at investment bank UBS. I have therefore replaced the term "banker" with the more specific description. -- Oliver P. (talk) 00:34, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
