Non-notable reality show contestant. Hasn't done anything of note since the show. Completely unreferenced, so it's a WP:BLP problem, too. Mikeblas (talk) 03:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete would change this given WP:RS for the claims of WP:N and a less hagiographic tone to the article. JJL (talk) 03:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Since the show, he's presented a line at NY Fashion Week, and a quick Google News archive search shows he was at least fairly notable before the show as well, with this, for example, a Chicago Sun-Times article from 1988. So he's hardly a "Look ma, I got on TV!" case. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 04:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I cannot access that article above, so I can't really speak to it. I will say that this WP article is terrible. That is not in and of itself a reason for deletion, but in its current form it fails to establish notability. Hopefully someone else who has access to that news article can determine how useful it is and, if it is worth it, work on making this entry less of a clear WP:ADVERT, which is all it currently is.

  • Keep Johnn is somewhat of a cult legend in the NYC fashion scene. This absolutely is an article that needs to be researched and expanded, not deleted. Tokyojoe2002 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 03:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
