Fails notability per WP:BLP1E, has not proven notability beyond their appearance on a TV show. Proposed redir page to main Hell's Kitchen (U.S. season 6)‎ article SpikeJones (talk) 23:52, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * DO NOT DELETE or REDIRECT - Notable as a Reality show winner, not to mention the Daniel Veltri, Christina Machamer, and Heather West articles which are winners of the same show. -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 01:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too soon for his own article. Re: Heather Christina and Danny, let's deal with these one at a time.Tlatseg (talk) 04:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * As a response, why are AI contestant articles allowed to be created during the show, if a HK WINNER article can't even be created AFTER the show? -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 04:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You can't compare apples and oranges. Hells kitchen is not American Idol.  Also American Idol holds a different place in the American culture than Hells kitchen does.Tlatseg (talk) 22:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Reality show = reality show. -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 06:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Apples to oranges. "because other pages do it" is not a valid WP argument. SpikeJones (talk) 15:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * When you say it's "too soon", and I demonstrate a case where another reality show has CONTESTANT articles prior to the end of the show, I think it's a safe comparison. If we can't compare one reality show article to another reality show article on this site, what's the point of categorizing them in the first place? What can we compare? -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 16:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC
 * Saying that other reality show contestants have their own articles therefore Dave Leavy deserves his own article also is not a valid argument. With the exception of stating where he was born and on what date he is starting work at the Araxi, both of which are of trivial importance, all the other information is contained in the main Hells kitchen season six article.  Wikipedia is not a fan site.  All of us who have made significant contributions to the season six article are fans of the show but still we have to follow the Wikipedia policies.Tlatseg (talk) 00:20, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not the argument. The argument is other reality show CONTESTANTS have articles, yet this contestant isn't just a contestant, he's a WINNER, and there is a category for WINNERS. The other argument is reality show CONTESTANT articles have been created while the show was in progress. This WINNER article was created after the show ENDED. -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 04:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - as a winner of a major reality TV series which runs over multiple episodes. The win garnered press coverage of non-trivial nature as documented in the article. -- Whpq (talk) 16:39, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Reality show winner definitely does not meet criteria for notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.101.57 (talk) 20:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into article about show. The award for winning was a one year position as a chef, a position that itself in not inherently notable.--Pink Bull (talk) 20:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
