The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was No Consensus on any. I have carefully reviewed the page history and determined that votes were removed in the course of whatever the hell happened here (I'm still trying to puzzle it out). That being said, although the consensus was still leaning towards deletion, I think it is grey enough of an area where we should start again if someone feels the need.

[edit] James Branaman

James Branaman (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Four Amazing Race winners who are not notable for anything other than winning the race. Am testing the water here as I can't find other examples of Amazing Race deletions but I note that the majority of race winners (apart from those notable for other things) do not have articles.

COMMENT: I WISH TO REGISTER MY EXTREME ANGER AT EVRIK MESSING UP MY NOMINATION. I have just discovered that Evrik has created individual nominations for each of the three others I included in this single nomination and had also messed up the Articles for Deletion page by creating a subheading for "Amazing Race contestants". Let it be known that I am reverting all these edits and putting things back to their original state, as I feel that I, as nom, have a right to do. If other editors disagree with this decision of mine they are welcome to take it up with me on my talk page and I will be more than willing to discuss it. I believe this is part of a pattern of harassment of me by Evrik which is detailed here. Please also note that I will soon be creating a Request for Comment page in regards to Evrik’s actions in the past few days. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 20:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. They're simply not notable, even with their TAR wins. Simply appearing on a TV program does not ensure notability. Someone like Reichen Lehmkuhl was known outside of his Race win for his role in the gay community as well as his relationship with Lance Bass. --Madchester 04:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and repeat or merge if any appropriate target exists, no reason to believe subjects are notable. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 07:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy procedural close - the editing of this nomination by Evrik and PageantUpdater, resulting in the inappropriate removal of a great deal of the discussion, have in my view subverted this process past the point where this nomination should be allowed to continue. Shut this down and let PageantUpdater re-nominate the articles, preferably without the drama. Otto4711 22:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey it wasn't me who messed with the nom in the first place, it was Evrik. It was also Evrik who brought in the drama in the first place, forcing me to get defensive. Blame him but lets just get this over and done with once and for all. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 22:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Honestly, I don't really care whose "fault" it was. His splitting up your nomination may not have been appropriate but your removing comments by a number of editors by reverting it definitely was. If you're so confident that this nomination will pass, then withdraw it and re-nominate to remove any question of impropriety on anyone's part in the nomination. Otto4711 22:55, 13
    • I hadn't noticed that anything had been removed. If that is indeed the case I would support removing these and starting again. I am not confident that the nom will pass... even I am only weakly supporting deletion. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • They were all listed under the Branaman and Conley entries. I thought this was confusing or misleading - I also thought they had been listed incorrectly and was trying to add clarity. No ill intent or maliciousness was involved. If I violated policy - I am sorry. I never edited your comments. I was under the impression that each article nominated for deletion deserevd its own entry and not be grouped. --evrik (talk) 23:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
