[edit] Ryan Fitzgerald

If the winner of Big Brother, Greg Mathew, is bein deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Mathew than there is no place in Wikipedia for this nobody. A search of Google news shows there are no arciles about Ryan Fitzgerald. Gtoomey 18:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Since being a contestant on Big Brother in 2004 has co-hosted two seasons of the prime-time Big Brother spin-off/special Friday Night Games, and also hosted other television specials, and hosted radio programs. In other words, a medium-profile media figure post-Big Brother.

• • How can you say that with a straight face as Tim_Brunero is proposed for deletion, I didn't propose it, he's far better known than Ryan Fitzgerand, and Mr Brunero is extensively-published journalist & radio presenter Gtoomey 10:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep -- bad faith nomination and a case of sour grapes, see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Behind Big Brother Australia. Article subject was somewhat notable before entering the series. - Longhair 21:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment - It is a bad faith nomination - the editor even announces that fact in the AfD discussion about whether Greg Mathew should be evicted from wikipedia. Asa01 21:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

You argument is patently absurd. How could you possibly propose keeping his unknown contestant when the winner Greg Mathew is propsed for deletion? Gtoomey 10:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable outside of being a BB contestant. -- Chuq 23:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - nominated to make a point. -- 9cds^(talk) 23:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - Host of two different television shows, as well as being a former football player. Cyclone49 02:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable as former professional AFL player and TV host. There are 579 references to Fitzgerald on an Australia New Zealand database.
  • Again, totally absurd. Greg Mathew is a former professional Souths rugby league player, is a professional speaker http://www.harrymmiller.com/Personality_Speakers.html , WON big brother, yet is proposed for deletion. Mr Fitzgerald is pale by comparision and should be deleted as well. Gtoomey 10:00, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 04:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. He has played senior AFL football so he passes the notability test on that count alone. --Roisterer 06:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as above. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 15:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. - Liberatore(T) 17:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
