Article is about a Survivor castaway that didn't win the million dollars. Old consensus was to merge, but i feel this person isn't notable for his own article. RobotSwept (talk) 21:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, he doesn't have his own article. The name redirects to the article about the applicable Survivor season. Zeng8r (talk) 21:07, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's because RobotSwept redirected it to that season and then made this nomination. This is the version prior. [1] Tampabay721 (talk) 21:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Well, I have no opinion on this matter, but User:RobotSwept and his obvious sockpuppet User:Sleapaside have been causing minor mischief all afternoon, so I wouldn't take this nomination seriously. Zeng8r (talk) 21:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: The previous AfD consensus was to merge with Survivor: Samoa, and I agree with it. I don't see why you see that to be a problem. You don't believe he's notable for his article, but merging combines this article with a preexisting article, thus getting rid of his own article... Perhaps you should read up on merging?

Merge to Survivor Heros vs. Villains. He is not notable for any other reason then competing on the show two times (see WP:ONEEVENT). 66.194.187.100 (talk) 22:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per above.
Keep: One of most notable players of the game ever, subject of much coverage. Note also that the AFD tag has been removed from the article as a result of the premature redirect, thus depriving us of any comments from people looking for the article.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:40, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note, I reinstated article and AFD notice, would recommend relisting since 7 days are almost up and article wasn't tagged. Also saying "Article is about a Survivor castaway that didn't win the million dollars" is meaningless as to whether GNG is met. The world, and Wikipedia, is full of notable losers.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also noted that nominator has been blocked. Oh what high school bollocks.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:46, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, the nominator AND the nominator's sock AND perhaps two or more socks that might have been the same person have been blocked since this nomination was made. Like I said, this was not a serious nomination made for serious people. Zeng8r (talk) 05:22, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. Just like I noted in the prior AFD result, his accomplishments outside of Survivor are not notable, and hence, there is nothing here that can't be covered in the Survivor articles. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The prior AFD occurred before the 2nd appearance aired, and he came in 2nd again (and won the 100,000 fan prize a 2nd time in a row). In notability terms, the coverage grew greatly after the 2nd time round.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 20:23, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Survivor: Samoa or Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains per WP:ONEEVENT. His accomplishments really don't exist outside of Survivor, and all the information is already covered in the Survivor articles. —Untitledmind⁷² (let's talk + contribs) 23:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Survivor: Heroes vs. Villians. He accomplishments outside the show aren't really aricle worthy. 203.117.33.23 (talk) 06:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect per WP:ONEEVENT. 64.134.64.120 (talk) 00:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
