[edit] Kari Schmidt

prod was removed by User:Badlydrawnjeff with the cryptic comment "reality contestents like this aren't capable of being "non-notable"." Certainly, a few losing contestants losers go on to notability. This is not one of them; after losing on the show, she finds herself just another struggling model and five years will be forgotten completely. I don't think we intend Wikipedia to be a Who's Who of losing game show contestants. Mikeblas 16:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The trifecta is complete, I suppose. She was a finalist contestent on a major television show. Not much else to say about it, folks on America's Next Top Model are inherently notable. Show seen by millions. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. This "finalist" was the third of thirteen contestants to be eliminated. -- Mikeblas 17:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
    • And...? --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
      • ... and she has less than 1,000 non-wiki modelling hits. [1] Mikeblas 22:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable L0b0t 17:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Expand or delete As with the other two models above, mention her in the Top Model article, but unless she's done something else that's significant delete her article. Dugwiki 17:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Not notable Vyse 18:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Fails WP:BIO, see my reasoning below. Caknuck 20:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Edison 23:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Why are they inherently notable? They were nobodies before and in a few short days they'll be nobodies again. Even winners of reality shows frequently revert to being nobodies once the tabloid interest wears off. -- Necrothesp 01:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as per my comments on the other two above, game show contestants are not inherently notable. Xtifr _tälk 08:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable and not interesting. BTLizard 10:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete All reality show contestants (this applies to people on shows like Survivor and The Real World as well) have to be known for something else as well, just being on one reality show doesn't make them notable. TJ Spyke 17:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete 15 minutes of reality TV fame does not equate to a Wikipedia article. EVula 17:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. reality contestents like this are indeed capable of being "non-notable", and this one appears to fit that category. She was not even placed (ie outside the top 3), and does not appear to have capitalised on her 15 minutes fame, so would be destined to fail the 20 year test with 19 or so years to spare.

• Delete non-notable. WillyWonty 22:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
