• Delete per nom. Not notable outside the Countdown/Scrabble fandom. Tevildo 00:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as stated before, I don't see the value of deleting a factual article with sources. Two be Countdown champion you need to win 11 televised shows, that's over 8 hours of screen time. Nobody is saying that every Countdown contestant should have his or her own page, but it doesn't seem unreasonable that the Champions of the game show (55 in 22 years)) should have their own articles.

• Delete. Non-encyclopedic, non-notable. The informational equivalent of navel-lint. WMMartin 17:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep on the basis that this middle-age-interest article is just as notable as much of Wikipedia's teenage-interest content, so it improves the balance of the project. Greg Grahame 02:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
