Bernie Cullen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable.

• Weak Keep Bernie's not as notable as John Carpenter, Kevin Olmstead, or Nancy Christy, but he is still more notable as a game show contestant than many of the other Who Wants to be a Millionaire winners (from the US or otherwise) for whom articles were made. S@lo 04:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment If this article were to be deleted, then it would be logical for other "million winner" articles, with the exception of John Carpenter, Kevin Olmstead, Ed Toutant, and Nancy Christy (and other very notable winners from other countries) to be deleted (Also, this probably goes without saying, but the Million Winners section in the Who Wants to be a Millionaire article is notable within the subject of that show, so that section should certainly be kept). Note that million dollar wins are notable within the game show community, however (mostly because of their rarity), so I actually oppose such a mass deletion. As an analogy, consider perfect games in baseball. Some pitchers became notable because of that one feat alone, but articles are still made for each pitcher due to the event's rarity.

• Delete. What makes Bernie different from any other person who won a game show, other than that the stakes were higher? I don't see him meeting any criteria of WP:BIO, specifically him being a subject of adequate media coverage. S@lo, I would argue that perfect game pitchers are an inaccurate analogy -- precedent and consensus shows that any player who has played in the Major Leagues meets notability guidelines for athletes, so Charlie Robertson and others would be worthy of an article whether or not they ever threw a perfect game.
