  • Comment how is this notable? --MacRusgail 00:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, I am questioning the motive behind the AfD's - is this user trying to prove a point, or do they just not like reality TV? Nonetheless, article seems to meet criteria. --Dennisthe2 00:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I do not believe these people to be notable, at least not in the long term. --MacRusgail 00:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. Please see WP:N and WP:BIO as to what/who is notable. -- Black Falcon 01:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy keep per WP:N. -- Black Falcon 01:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete The article discloses no acheivement of note other than to lose in various game shows. Agent 86 02:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Siroxo's search. ConDem^Talk 04:40, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep A TV actor who has appeared on TV many times. definitely one to keep.Tellyaddict^{Editor review!} 11:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No reason to believe she'll be of any interest to the public in a few years. Unless she keeps on appearing on reality shows and losing. If that happens, I'd put her back myself. Noroton 14:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as notable. --evrik ^(talk) 14:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Sources don't seem to indicate multiple, non-trivial independent published reports. Mere appearance on shows isn't notable enough for me. Pig^man_{Talk to me} 18:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep subject has been in three reality seasons on two shows.-- danntm ^T _C 22:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and recommend speedy close this nominator inserted tons of AfD with all the same cruft comment, suspected bad faith nom. Wooyi 22:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. If you've been on three network TV shows, you're noteworthy—Benjamin Franklin never did and he has an article. In all seriousness, I agree these are bad faith nominations. xanderer 23:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Being on TV doesn't make one notable. - WeniWidiWiki 01:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment' Care to elaborate on why you think that? TV is an important medium these days, more people watched The Amazing Race than watched all cable news networks put together. I'm sure most people would consider being on TV to make you notable. She's far more 'notable' than most a lot of obscure politicians, scientists, artists, etc that wikipedia has articles on.
• Keep per Xanderer. It disappoints me greatly that these type of disruptive nominations for deletion are permitted. (jarbarf) 00:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable, meets WP:BIO. - Denny 05:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
