[edit] Kathy Hoxit

prod was removed by User:Badlydrawnjeff with the cryptic comment "reality contestents like this aren't capable of being "non-notable"." Prod had been seconded by User:Xtifr. Certainly, a few losing contestants losers go on to notability. This is not one of them; after losing on the show, she finds herself just another struggling model and five years will be forgotten completely. I don't think we intend Wikipedia to be a Who's Who of losing game show contestants. Mikeblas 16:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. She was a finalist contestent on a major television show. Not much else to say about it, folks on America's Next Top Model are inherently notable. Also, I don't think my comment was cryptic as much as direct - if you're on a show seen by millions, it's rather impossible to say that a person isn't notable. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Note. This "finalist" was the first of thirteen contestants eliminated. Your claim that an appaearance on television establishes notability is simply too loose. -- Mikeblas 16:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
    • That's not my claim, however. Whether she's the first or the twelfth, it's pretty much the same in terms of audience and notability when it comes to reality shows. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable model. She should be mentioned in the Top Model article as a contestant, but that's not a reason to have her own seperate article since there are no other verifiable notable facts presented about her. Now if she's done anything significant other than appear on Top Model, expand the article and I'll reconsider. Dugwiki 17:27, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Fails WP:BIO, see my reasoning below. Caknuck 20:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable enough for an article.Edison 23:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not another reality show contestant! -- Necrothesp 01:07, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. People who appear on Jeopardy! for one day and lose are seen by millions too, but I hardly think that every Jeopardy! contestant deserves a Wikipedia article--although Ken Jennings clearly does. But this person is no Ken Jennings--merely some random loser. Xtifr _tälk 07:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable, and rightly. BTLizard 10:27, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Eliminated contestants are indeed capable of being "non-notable", and the first one to be kicked out certainly appears to fit that category. She does not appear to have capitalised on her 15 minutes fame, so would be destined to fail the 20 year test with 19 or so years to spare. Having said all the above, there seems to be precedence for a simple redirect to ANTM6. Ohconfucius 06:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
