Reality tv cruft - not notable! MacRusgail 00:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

  • This is now the third time that this article has come to AFD. It was previously discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Derek and Drew Riker and then again at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul J. Alessi. A merger to Amazing Race 6 contestants was suggested a week ago. Uncle G 00:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, top 3 sources all independent an nontrivial —siroχo 01:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I would be fine merging this and Kendra Bentley to Kendra Bentley and Freddy Holliday. —siroχo 01:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep as winner of The Amazing Race. "Cruft" is not a legitimate criterion for deletion. Otto4711 04:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as satisfying Wikipedia:Notability; notable is defined as "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". The fact that the subject of this article has been the subject of multiple, independent works does indeed make him notable. Kyra~(talk) 08:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The winner of a The Amazing Race? i dont think this could be deleted as its definitiely notable.TellyaddictEditor review! 11:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Who's going to care a few years from now? Think about it, would you want 700 articles on 1950s and 1960s and 1970s game-show contestant winners on Wikipedia? Why would anyone want to read about him years from now? What's the point? Noroton 14:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable. --evrik (talk) 14:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I do not think it right to continue trying to delete against repeated firm consensus. DGG 17:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable. Warm bodies who appear on television number in the thousands every year and are quickly forgotten. - WeniWidiWiki 01:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable, meets WP:BIO. - Denny 06:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
