Non-notable Survivor contestant. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 04:38, 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. WjBscribe 09:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Finishing third is pretty notable. What makes him less notable than fellow 3rd place finishers Rudy from Borneo or Keith from Australia or Lex from Africa? -- Scorpion 14:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into a list. I also agree with the above comment, and the other finishers should also be merged. fraggle 16:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Third place contestant on one of many, many game shows (of which this particular one is one of many versions around the world). Hardly notable, and WP:INN doesn't wash for me. Agent 86 16:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and Agent 86. Also, just because there are other articles that are equally un-notable is not a good reason to keep this one. mceder (u t c) 19:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: He is the only survivor to be voted out of the game outside of the tribal council fire. Also, he has been on other television, such as, Made. --Joe 21:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The article only has one reference, and it's not an independent one from the subject. To qualify as notable it needs multiple articles from independent reliable publishers. Dugwiki 21:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete since there is no inherent notability for game show losers. Edison 06:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - He was voted out away from tribal council, and that is the only time that has happened. He also made it to the final 3. Jordan 00:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The above are justifications for him being mentioned in the Survivor article, but not necessarilly sufficient justifications for him to have his own article. To have your own article requires meeting a slightly higher bar of verifiability and notability. Dugwiki 19:16, 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)
• Keep - links to multiple independent sources exist that attest to the subject's notability. SirSam972 13:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
