[edit] Howie Gordon

Howie Gordon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Former Big Brother contestant and current lightsabre salesman, all his biographical information already exists in the Big brother 6 article. Much of the biographical information about him appears to be either wrapped in hype from CBS, or from Gordon himself. Although there are an abundance of Ghits which mention his name, most are trivial (the show being the primary subject), chat forum or blogs. There is a shortage of coverage from reliable independent sources for biographical details. Ohconfucius 06:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Rather annoyed and reluctant keep. Personally I find the Big Brother concept to be among the most brainless ideas to have "graced" the TV screens around the World, but unfortunately, the high viewership of the program turns the contestants into celebrities. According to WP:BIO, "Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions" pass the notability criteria, and this person has apparently been on not only the Big Brother 6 series, but also an "All-Star" series.

  • Keep', if we stick to the words of WP:BIO we don't have a choice ... maybe we should change WP:BIO Alf photoman 15:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't watch Big Brother, but he seems to have had his fair share of published interviews and articles according the references and external links. Passes the notability test. Dugwiki 20:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
