Frank Firke

Vanity page. We've been through this before with numerous other Jeopardy! contestant non-notables, including College Champion Nico Martinez. Game show contestants must be notable outside of the game shows they appeared on, or exceedingly notable within the game shows they appeared on (e.g., record-setters) to be considered notable.

 * Delete Notability outside of game show not asserted nor found in top ghits. Nothing especially interesting or precedent-setting about appearance on show.  Does not provide any content of interest to the reader or assert context with any hope of expansion.  Sub-stub.  No multiple non-trivial sources found to support notability.

 * Preserve In most cases, I would wholeheartedly agree that an article dedicated to a Jeopardy! contestant is inconsequential at best. However, this Frank Firke earned a measure of notoriety because of his response to an answer apropos the 19th Amendment. In other contexts, his "How much is 19?" remark would not be worthy of further consideration, but the very nature of both Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! fandom dictates that this incident is bound to go down in program history. That so many fans are so devoted to the history of such on-air mishaps bespeaks the power of his appearance on Jeopardy! In that light, it would be irresponsible for Wikipedia or its editors to delete "Frank Firke." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Studslonigan50 (talk • contribs) 03:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
