 * Delete. Vanity page. Nothing notable. Okay, evidently he was a Survivor contestant? Wow, way to not even mention that in the article. Redirect like recommended below. -Doozer 21:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Obviously not vanity, unless Coby edits Wikipedia, but we don't need articles on every Survivor contestant. Redirect to Survivor: Palau.  RickK 23:23, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * I also think we need to redirect Jonathan Libby, Wanda Shirk, Jolanda Jones, Ashlee Ashby, Jeff Wilson, Kim Mullen, Willard Smith, Angie Jakusz, James Miller, Ibrehem Rahman, Bobby Jon Drinkard, Janu Tornell, Stephenie LaGrossa, Gregg Carey, Caryn Groedel, Jennifer Lyon, Ian Rosenberger, Katie Gallagher and Tom Westman, and unlink them from the Survivor: Palau article (well, maybe keep Tom Westman, since he won it.)

 * I didn't realise it was a survivor contestant, it was sort of hidden. Redirect then, as you suggest. --W(t) 23:42, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
 * Redirect. In fact, redirect the rest of the lot RickK mentioned, except James Miller and Jeff Wilson. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  23:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A contestant on a reality TV show is does not meet my understanding of the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies.  I will reluctantly concede, however, that a redirect might be a better way to prevent it's re-creation.  Redirect all except the two disambiguation pages.  Rossami (talk) 01:39, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect, its probably time to check how many of the most recent American Idol contestants have spawned non-articles too--nixie 01:43, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect and probably all the others Rick pointed out. -- metta, The Sunborn  06:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 07:02, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Save, needs to be worked on. 2:00 PM ET, 18 May 2005
 * The above is from User:24.128.32.42, who created the article. RickK 22:51, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Surviver: Palau, along with the rest. Dsmdgold 02:09, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect is also fine with me, but I do think that Tom's page should be kept separate, since he won. There are also some Survivor personalities who go on to appear in other series (Rob Mariano, Elisabeth Hasselbeck) so it's not easy to make a blanket statement like "no page for a reality contestant". --JamesB3 23:28, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
