[edit] Brian Corridan

Apparently a contestant on Survivor 11 (although the article states nothing of this), judging by a quick googling this may also be a copyvio (unless other sites mirrored this article already), not really notable IMO, you decide ShadowStaller 03:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Keep: First, do you have any examples for copyvio? I did a quick copy/paste search and didn't come up with anything. Second, he is a contestant on a popular reality TV show. Regardless of whether he's notable in the smallest way, or the largest way, he is notable for that at least. I think there will be some people looking for the information when the show starts. --Wolf530 05:41, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to the Survivor or Survivor 11 article.
• Comment: By the way, according to this site the show doesn't even start until September 15. He hasn't even been on TV yet! - Mgm|^(talk) 09:34, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't know if there is a precedant for reality show participants but it's way too inclusionist for me. Marskell 09:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Yes, there is a precedent. Redirect to the appropriate show. Proto t c 10:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• In its current state, this is an A7 speedy with no assertion of notability. Given that he is a contestant on Survivor, merge with the show until notable people from the show identified. Capitalistroadster 10:09, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or merge per Capitalistroadster. --GraemeL ^(talk) 10:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. Not notable on his own. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:31, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or possibly merge. Trollderella 16:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per User:MacGyverMagic. Hall Monitor 18:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect. Although before the show has even been aired, it seems dubious. Current content is cobbled from this article and might be a copyvio. Dottore So 20:13, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect We have not yet sunk so low that we are keeping articles on non-notable game show contestants. Denni☯ 23:43, 2005 August 26 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable. Nandesuka 22:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. *drew 22:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Failing that, redirect. (And, of course, copyvio would take precedence.) Rossami (talk) 02:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
