Non-noteable Reality TV contestant. The article is full of trivia and cites sources from tabloid newspapers. He's a minor contestant in Big Brother and is predicted to leave the programme soon, jepordising chances of expansion. Dalejenkins 17:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Per nominator Rackabello 17:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Big Brother 2007 (UK), from where it was split. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 19:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge per AnemoneProjectors --omtay38 20:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to Northern Line (band) where it is more suitable as he is not notable in his own right outside BB. Willirennen 21:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Split into the BB and NL articles Will (talk) 21:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I would argue that he is notable outside of Big Brother and Northern Line. John Hayestalk 00:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
For example the mention in the newspaper in 2005, see the sources, well before Big Brother, and no mention of Northern Line in that. John Hayestalk 09:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment. He may have been mentioned in A 2005 newspaper-dating Suzanne Shaw does not equal noteability. Dalejenkins
Comment I quite agree, but when someone is known for two seperate things, and mentioned in newspapers independently of that, I would argue it does get them a little bit further towards achieving notability. If you don't feel that the various sources as a whole make him notable enough for an article, then by all means the article should be deleted. John Hayestalk 21:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Conditional Keep - I believe he is notable, there are enough sources, but the article needs to be filled out. I would agree in it's current state, it doesn't add much to Wikipedia. John Hayestalk 10:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC) John Hayes is the creator of this article.
  • Merge per Rackabello. Bravedog 18:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment err, Rackabello said delete. Guinness 22:26, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There is information in this article which is not appropriate for the Northern Line article. As a member of Northern Line, and as a BB contestant, he is notable enough to have an article. Guinness 22:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
