The result was redirect to Survivor: The Australian Outback per precedent with other contestant articles and since no strong reason to keep was mentioned in the debate. --Polaron | Talk 18:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to have done anything of note other than Survivor, and ample precedent proves that Survivor alone isn't enough for a page. For example, see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stacy Kimball, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cassandra Franklin and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Angarita.

• Delete and recreate as redirect to Survivor: The Australian Outback, game-show contestants do not possess encyclopedic notability. --Stormie 22:46, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral Hi, guys. I created the article, and didn't know that there had been a decision against game show contestant articles, or even that Olson had already had an article that was deleted, as someone later informed me. I'm kinda fuzzy on the criteria for notability, and created the article because Olson lives in my home town, and I was tired of looking at that red link of his name under the Noteworthy Residents section of the Union City, New Jersey article. I apologize for this matter, but I'm going to steer clear of the vote, since I would probably appear biased. Nightscream 16:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep Nothing forbids articles about game show participants, other than the need to establish notability. The sources and claims made here support a claim of notability. If additional sources are added, I will be willing to reconsider my vote. Alansohn 04:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - he hasn't established notability in his other endeavours. -- Whpq 15:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
