Carolyne Underwood

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable except for participation in reality show  DGG ( talk ) 15:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep She is the participant in several different reality shows and has significant coverage over time: 2007 Daily Mail, 2007 The Mirror, 2008 The Mirror, 2010 Manchester Evening News, 2010 BBC, 2012 BBC, 2013 Manchester Evening News and 2015 Daily Record.

 * Delete Non-notable game-show contestant. News coverage is fairly trivial: the 2015 Daily Record article mentioned above is actually about the British Medical Association's annual conference rather than about Underwood, and simply states "Carolyne Underwood, who was paralysed in 2007, was among those featured [in TV show The Undateables]"... presumably because they had a nice file photo they could dust off for an otherwise dull piece. As the 2012 BBC article points out, "With reality shows being such a popular format, it's perhaps not so surprising that we see members of the public cropping up in more than one programme." No evidence that she has gone on to do significant charity or campaigning work, which might have nudged my !vote toward a very Weak Keep. Keri (talk) 00:37, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as I've closely been watching this nomination and planned to comment sooner, clearly everything including the listed sources simply show she was only active and therefore best known for that one show, and nothing else at all aside from it, therefore there's literally no other information, let alone for actual substance and notability, of which none are satisfied.

 * , I don't think that you looked over the sources I cited above, because they show that she is known for more than one show. Please review again, since she is in the news for various reasons over time. Thanks. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:20, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per Megalibrarygirl. The acting credits plus the injury combine to meet GNG.   Montanabw (talk) 05:01, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep reasons above and she was the first disabled reality participant which makes her more interesting/encyclopedic. Readers are going to want to see this article so why not.TeeVeeed (talk) 22:47, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
