This BLP is for a reality television show competitor of marginal notability. He has competed on more than one season of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, but is not notable for anything beyond competing on that series. Other interesting comparisons could be made with Derrick Kosinski, who has appeared on more seasons of The Challenge, and also appeared on other reality shows other than the Challenge. Seems like it could be classified as WP:ONEEVENT, given that all appearances were on the same series. He ranks in the middle of the pack as far as competitors with multiple appearances on the Challenge. It was previously prodded, but the prod was removed, so I thought I would follow up with a nomination here.

 * Weak Keep - a search for sources turns up not just passing mention, but interviews in various publications (Dose Magazine, Sports Illustrated) and he has not just participated in a reality series, but has actually won...twice. It appears he just squeeks by WP:GNG, the article could use a clean-up however. Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 18:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:07, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. We keep articles on minor, minor TV "celebrities" with a couple of press mentions and interviews, and this is one of them. I'm neither happy or impressed, but I believe Ponyo is correct. Drmies (talk) 16:54, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
