[edit] Charla and Mirna

Charla and Mirna (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article regarding two Amazing Race competitors. I first queried the notability of the article on the 27th, suggesting that unless there were improvements made I would eventually bring this to AFD. It was prodded by Ian Spackman on the 28th as "sheer non-notable American cultural imperialism", Evrik later removed teh prod beause he felt they were notable.

To quote from my mesage on the talk page: My main problem with the article is that it is little more than a blow-by-blow account of their participation in each series of the Race - which is plainly unencyclopaedic. There is little biographical information here that is a) not on The Amazing Race 5 contestants (in fact, much of the biographical stuff is plain copy & paste from text I added to that article) or b) not suitable to merge into that article.

Ooops! Thanks for pointing out my mistake. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Please note that a similar article, Derek and Drew Riker, has already been deleted recently. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 23:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

  • The Riker twins article was actually redirected to The Amazing Race 3. Your link is to an old AFD from October 06. Otto4711 00:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to The Amazing Race 5 contestants. Pretty much a plot summary of their appearances on the race and the biographical information is already there. Otto4711 00:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable. Having said that ... the article needs some serious work. --evrik (talk) 21:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Very Notable. --Thankyoubaby 05:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable as TAR contestants go, not the least being selected for the All-Stars episode. - Keith D. Tyler (AMA) 07:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment Ignoring the drama between Evrik and I, there is already precedent that these contestants are not notable, even though they have participated on Allstars. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PageantUpdater (talk • contribs) 02:39, 5 March 2007
  • They pass the google test for notability. --evrik (talk) 18:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Charla and Mirna are very notable and deserve their own article. Ben1283 00:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • 'Keep' Charla and Mirna are notable. Masterpedia
  • Comment as I made clear from my nom... I am not contesting their notability, but I believe there is no use for the article because all relevant information is provided on The Amazing Race 5 contestants. I wish there would be more discussion of that, rather than simply agreeing with me that they are notable. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 02:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep While I support deleting/redirecting one-time contestants of reality shows, the subjects have appeared on three reality series (in addition to the other guests spots noted in the articles), and Mirna was co-winner of Battle of the Network Reality Stars. Caknuck 02:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
