Diaz-Balart → Diaz-Balart family – All notable persons sharing this composed surname are members of the same family, which is an historically prominent political family. This should really be an article on the family itself. Anything notable about the surname components should be in individual articles on
Díaz (surname) and a currently missing article on
Balart.

I have no problem with a move and agree with the nominator's last sentence. However, this currently isn't so much an article as it is a DAB page filled with
partial title matches. —

That conversion would be fairly easy. Sources are plentiful.

OK, but I'm not volunteering. —

No problem. I'll do it right here.

In that case, I support a move to
Díaz-Balart family (w/ the accent reflecting the preference of the majority of the members). —

Draft
The Díaz-Balart family is a
Cuban-Americanpolitical family primarily composed of the descendants of Cuban politician
Rafael Díaz-Balart, and including two members of the
United States Congress. In 2003, the family was voted "Best Power Family" in the annual Miami New Times "Best Of Miami" issue, which asserted that the family managed to "carve out a new U.S. Congressional district expressly for an ambitious family member", and also noted that the father and grandfather of the U.S. politicians "were important members of the ruling oligarchy during the fearsome reign of
Fulgencio Batista".[1]
Members of the family include:
Rafael José Díaz-Balart (c. 1899 – 1985), Cuban politician and mayor of the town of
Banes; with his wife América Gutiérrez:
Rafael Díaz-Balart (January 17, 1926 – May 6, 2005), Cuban politician; with his wife, Hilda Caballero Brunet, Díaz-Balart had four sons:
Mirta Díaz-Balart (born 30 September 1928), sister of Rafael, was the first wife of Cuban leader
Fidel Castro; they had one son and then divorced prior to the
Cuban Revolution; she then remarried, to Emilio Núñez Blanco:
With Fidel Castro:
Fidel Castro Díaz-Balart ("Fidelito"; September 1, 1949 – February 1, 2018), Cuban physicist, Fidel Castro's first-born son
With Emilio Núñez Blanco:
Mirta Núñez Díaz-Balart
América Silvia Núñez Díaz-Balart
Waldo Díaz-Balart (born February 10, 1931), brother of Rafael and Mirta, Cuban painter
It's a start.
