Candice Woodcock

 * — (View AfD)

Contested speedy deletion, meets no WP:CSD. Some reality show contestant, sounds not notable, unsourced and WP:POV. Sandstein 17:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - lots of coverage because she was a contestant but nothing notable, so delete per WP:BIO. I don't know anything about the show, and I might be mistaken about her notability, so if anyone with more knowledge about the show says she's notable I'll happily change my vote.

 * Keep The page is poorly written and very NPOV, which I'll freely admit to having wrote it. I didn't make this article with a lot of seriousness, but I still think there is a strong case for a keep. In terms of notability per WP:BIO, I'd place her under Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. Apart from the records that she broke within the show, she also was the instigator behind key moments this season. Most obvious is her decision to mutiny, which I think is arguably most important moment of the season. And it's not the only one she instigated. The bizarreness surrounding Billy Garcia's exit has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Her role in fish-gate, her breakdowns on exile island, her romance with Adam Gentry, and other moments brought a lot of drama to the show. She was a core member of the major alliances on both opposing tribes. Also, there are already less notable contestants with bigger articles.--Isocyanide 18:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, remember, "I like it" isn't a good reason to keep an article. Are there any reliable sources that cover the article's contents? Sandstein 18:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * A lot of what I wrote in the article was just plain mucking around. However, the reasons I have listed for keeping the article can be supported by any website covering Survivor. Heck, if you really want to, you can watch the episodes on CBS' website. And I think I've made more of a case than just "I like it". --Isocyanide 18:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No, but that is a case of not having reliable sources (fansites are nowhere near reliable) and original research (viewing primary source information and interpreting her behaviour based on that is original research). Also see WP:INN.  ColourBurst 20:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. She doesn't look like anything notable to me. There have been infinity show contestants. Anthony Appleyard 18:34, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * And some of them have articles. Please don't dismiss for that reason alone.--Isocyanide 18:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - reality show contestant with no other credentials. At best, a merge to the main article. -- Whpq 19:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Survivor: Cook Islands. A prominent contestant on the show but no notability outside her appearance on the show. --Muchness 00:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: or merge redirect as suggested. I placed a db-bio speedy delete tag in the first place.   Non-notable.  If the notability can't or isn't written in the article, then the article needs to be deleted.  The subject had a breakdown on the island, yawn, no notability unless the article really makes a case.  As far as other articles, point them out and we'll get them deleted too (unless they assert notability truthfully and believably). Hu 08:09, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Candice was a notable contestant in the Cook Islands season. This article just needs some work. --The President of Cool 00:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - She's notable, but this is a BAD ARTICLE. If anyone can improve it, then I'll change my vote. -- Scorpion 01:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Arguments stated above - as there is no policy to exclude all contestants on survivor, or an effective policy which has ensured all contestants do not have a page, this article cannot be disputed. --User: Shakespeare and Wine 09:50 28 December 2006
