Gregg Carey

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable Survivor contestant. Article was previously kept in December 2005 but for reasons I doubt would stand up today. -- PageantUpdater  •  talk  |  contribs  |  esperanza  04:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge into a list of contestants on the relevant Survivor show. Its one thing having articles on the winners of reality TV series, but every contestant is not notable enough for a separate article. WjBscribe 09:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing more than a game show contestant. Agent 86 16:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Agent 86. mceder (u t c) 19:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The article does have a couple of references to published articles other than the CBS bio, but I'm not in a position to verify them. If the article has multiple independent published references about the person, then he meets the minimal notability guidelines.  If the references don't check out, though, then the article hasn't demonstrated notability and should probably be deleted. Dugwiki 22:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Greg Carey" is a fairly common name - of the 16,500 Ghits, most are for namessakes. Search for Gregg Carey gives 205 unique Ghits. Other than show marketing, most are trivial or are not from reliable sources. Ohconfucius 06:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete (and recreate as redirect to appropriate season) the show is notable. But the contestant is not, hasnt done anything notable since leaving the reality game show. I'm sure we dont create pages on every losing 'Jeopardy' contestant just because they've been on a game show. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 12:38, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The Jeopardy analogy, though, isn't quite right because most of them don't have independent articles published about them. The main question is whether this person has multiple, reliable independently published articles about themselves.  Whether or not they won or lost the show isn't really relevant to whether or not they have sufficient references. Dugwiki 18:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
