[edit] Karen O'Neil Ganci

Does not pass WP:BIO. She is only famous for being a contestant on Big Brother 5. Comedy240 14:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep meets WP:BIO for being an artist, in addition to involvement on a hit TV show. Articles like this help her satisfy WP:BIO's criterion that "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person". One can consider each aspect of her insufficient for an article, while considering the combination (artist and TV involvement) to be worthwhile. The nominator hasn't addressed her status as an artist, so I assume s/he didn't read the article, and picked this article out of the Big Brother category (not the first time). --Rob 19:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I believe some Big Brother people namely Jamie (Miss Washington), Lisa, Brittany, and Holly (real actresses), Will K. and Mike M. (owners/investors of famous restaurants), Janelle, Howie, Kaysar (interviewed and guest appearances galor), and some others I am forgettting "deserve" articles, but Karen is not a well enough known artist to get her own article.

How is it she doesn't meet the WP:BIO test: "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person"? --Rob 03:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:BIO isn't a test, it's a guideline. _{J Di}^talk 08:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually WP:BIO says "...these criteria are a fair test..." (emphasis addded). --Rob 15:57, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This person seems notable enough for her own article, and for once there's more information about her than there is of her time on Big Brother America. _{J Di}^talk 08:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 15:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per above. Wryspy 03:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
