[edit] CariDee English

CariDee English (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) <includeonly> — (View AfD)

Since she turns out to be the winner, I'm conceding that she is notable, however there is not enough information on her yet that would warrant a seperate article from the "America's Next Top Model" page. I suggest Merge --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 16:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Looks like a direct copy from here[1] so this could be a speedyD.

While I understand NN can be thought of as POV, does just appearing on a TV show warrent a Wikiedipia page? There is hardly any information about her on the page (beyond looking like a direct rip from the previous cited source); no sources are cited; and nothing is really notable here. I can understand an article on James F. Buchli being he was an astronaunt, Ed Schultz a national talkshow host, Jonny Lang a musician, however CariDee? Does every person that has ever appeared on a reality TV show, game show, or television show in general deserve a wikipage? There is just nothing here that makes her stand out. Perhaps if she won or some special inccident occurs, then she would worth a page, but as it stands now....what is there to keep?

A google search of "Caridee English" turns up 1800 hits, of which only 898 are unique [2]

A refined Google Search of "CariDee English" -"torrent" -"avi" -"wmv" -"bit-torrent" turns up 695 hits, of which 691 are unique.[3]

Since some of the pages I saw were copies of Wikipedia, I added that to the exclusion list. "CariDee English" -torrent -avi -wmv -"bit-torrent" -wikipedia comes up with only 559 hits of which only 551 are unique [4] Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 23:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• NOTE: I just want to add that I looked (as you can see above) all over the net for more information and in the local papers for anything to expand the article but came up empty. Unless she won, there really isn't enough information to warrant an article here.--Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 16:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I voted earlier, but I'd like to note that since Cycle 4, contestants on America's Next Top Model have been known only by first name, and their last names have only become available by press releases afterwards. Thus, a more accurate measure of Caridee's Ghits would be attained by searching for something like "Caridee 'top model'." That yields 174,000 hits. (Also, Caridee English is the first person named Caridee to appear on Top Model, if that further qualifies the search.) Fabricationary 04:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

*I would say delete as well, but at least wait until Wednesday to see if she wins. If she does, then she does become notable for being the winner, and I'm sure that the article will be updated with more info as she works. If she doesn't, then deletion is obvious.

Edit: She won. Keep. SKS2K6 03:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Being from Fargo, this has already been on the local news that she didn't win, (Edit: Clarification in the local paper was the reporter was reporting on rumors. She's on admin leave) though she was happy to have been choosen as a contestant. As of NOW there is no real reason to keep the article, as it basically holds no real information that couldn't be included directly on the America's Next Top Model page. We shouldn't us the crytal ball as a reason to keep an article. If she wins, the page can be re-created with more information. (And as a sidenote, you have no idea how much I want her to win) --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 16:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. She won, and all the winners have articles. HurriKaty
• She won this season, and all the other winners have articles, so keep. Her article needs re-written, though. Fabricationary 02:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• CariDee is the official winner of America's next top model Cycle 7! She had an amazing photoshoot and a not so lovely ghostly bride runway. She was amazing and so shocked to win America's Next Top Model 7! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.142.239.148 (Talk) (talk • contribs).

• Strong and speedy keep. Sorry guys, this discussion is pretty much over, as she's won the competition and is now extremely noteworthy. Aside from that, I think that at the very least, the last 25% of contestants to get eliminated from any reality show are notable enough. tiZom_(2¢) 02:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as ANTM winner -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 03:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Definitely Keep. Caridee is the winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 7, and of course there will be a profile page for her on Elite Model Management website pretty soon. And there will be photographs, interviews, etc etc, and there will be Definitely more info coming up on her pretty soon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.166.246.210 (talk • contribs).

• Keep - She won. As long as the contestants have been signed with a big company, and have made significient model appearances, such as a big magazine, I think all contestants should be able to have articles, as long as they meet WP:BIO.-andrew|ellipsed...^Speak 05:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7. She's not notable yet; a $100,000 contract is very small by modelling standards. Any assertion of notability at this point is crystal ballin'. -- Mikeblas 13:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
