You're welcome to disagree with me, but being medevaced out of Survivor does not make one notable. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 04:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge into a list of contestants on the relevant Survivor show. Its one thing having articles on the winners of reality TV series, but every contestant is not notable enough for a separate article. WjBscribe 09:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Maybe so, but being medevaced did become a national story. Why were all of these Survivor pages nominated seperately? -- Scorpion 14:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete A footnote to a gameshow. As for separate nominations, we just had a bulk nomination of Who Wants to be a Millionaire contestants closed because it was a bulk nomination. I'm sure the nom didn't want to have the same results here. Agent 86 16:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Being on a reality TV show.... mceder (u t c) 19:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable reality show loser. Edison 06:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - he is one of only two people in the show who have been medevaced. Michael from Australia has a page. Jordan 23:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete non-winner on game show who lacks relevant reliable independent sources of biographical information. 253 unique Ghits, all being either wiki, show marketing, or otherwise trivial mentions. Having had those near-brushes with death is but trivia, and does not at all contribute to notability unless he has been perhaps struck by lightening twice and survived ;-).

• Strong Delete per WP:BIO (and recreate as redirect to appropriate season) the show is notable. But the contestant is not, hasnt done anything notable since leaving the reality game show. I'm sure we dont create pages on every losing 'Jeopardy' contestant just because they've been on a game show. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 12:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - same reasons as Jordan above. Unlike Arnzy's case, the individual appeared on 17 hours of television and the U.S. version is broadcast internationally. JKPrivett 07:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
