  • Delete Unsourced and unlikely to ever be so; notable only for a brief appearance on Biggest Loser. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
    • It ought probably to be noted that she was, in fact, the winner of the fifth season of the American version of the The Biggest Loser (to be sure, her appearance was, in the broader context of the show and its many versions, "brief", but she was not a one-off contestant on the season of the show on which she appeared, and, in view of her having won, is certain to have been covered in some depth in various secondary sources, such that, notwithstanding the unencyclopedic nature of some of the current article, it may not be that a reasonable, sourced article might not be produced). (I don't mean to suggest, I should saym that the winning of a prominent/notable reality show necessarily renders one notable [to my mind it does, but I've not been too active at AfD of late and haven't stayed particularly abreast of our practices with respect to reality show participants—which were, in the past, notoriously inconsistent—and so don't know whether the community have made any progress toward determining how generally to adjudge the notability of reality show contestants] or to offer any opinion on the underlying issue, only to offer a factual clarification).

  • Delete No assertion of notability outside reality show. —97198 talk 14:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep except for copyvio Winner of a nationally televised reality show; that's notability enough. I found deleted sources in the article's history and will be restoring them to the article shortly. The last portion of the article is copyvio from a press release.

Note: On inspection, it appears one of the deleted sources was deleted by the nominator, who disputes the source's reliability. The article wasn't unsourced until he made it so. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 19:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
