Non-notable Survivor contestant -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 04:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge into a list of contestants on the relevant Survivor show. Its one thing having articles on the winners of reality TV series, but every contestant is not notable enough for a separate article. (Couldn't these all have been grouped into one nom?) WjBscribe 09:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, merely a contestant on a game show. No faulting the nom on the separate nominations, especially after the bulk nom of Who Wants to be a Millionaire contestants was summarily closed yesterday. Agent 86 16:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Agent 86. mceder (u t c) 19:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Article's only references are not independent of the person. To demonstrate notability it needs multiple independent articles from reliable sources. Dugwiki 21:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable reality show loser. Edison 06:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Although he lost, and although he was on a reality show, he was indeed a notable person during the broadcast of one of the most popular television shows ever. His status as a winner or looser is irrelevant, and removing this page makes Wikipedia less encyclopedic. If keeping is deemed unpractical, the contestant should be folded into a mergec character article.Transcendentalstate
  • The above would possibly be justifications for having some information about him in the appropriate article about the show, but wouldn't necessarilly suffice for him having his own independent article. A person needs to meet a slightly higher threshold of notability and references to have their own individual article. Dugwiki 19:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as failing WP:BIO. I agree with Transcendentalstate, who states that "his status as a winner or looser is irrelevant". It's all in the quality of biographical information about the subject. I found nothing of substance in amongst the 253 unique Ghits, most are the usual wiki mirrors, show marketing (trivial and non-trivial), some directory listings and links to photo galleries. No independent and reliable sources for his biographical information. He does not appear to have any achievements of note since the show. As an aside, the highest quality article on any person of that name is from the Harrisburg PA Mayor's Office. Ohconfucius 02:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per WP:BIO (and recreate as redirect to appropriate season) the show is notable. But the contestant is not, hasnt done anything notable since leaving the reality game show. I'm sure we dont create pages on every losing 'Jeopardy' contestant just because they've been on a game show. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 12:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
