 * Well, I still feel that all his notability stems entirely from his appearance in one documentary, so I think the article should be a redirect. But on the plus side, it isn't written like a vanity article now. Average Earthman 12:01, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Spellbound (documentary), and de-linkify the links there to other competitors. Perhaps they should each have a sub-section in that article. &#8212;Rory &#9786; 13:26, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. --Improv 17:05, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I voted keep last time and still do for the same reasons. After I thought it had survived VfD (because the debate was archived to the talk page) I started working on it. I'd like to work on the article, but I'm not going to put my time into something that will just be deleted: I have plenty else to do and no particular brief for this. -- Jmabel 00:44, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, certainly notable, and one of the more interesting personalities featured in spellbound which was a major documentary. &mdash; siro  &chi;  o  04:42, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * I loved the documentary, but I would favor merge and redirect to Spellbound (film). The point is that he's not notable outside of the context of the film yet.  He may become so, but he did not parlay that exposure into commercials or political activism or inventing a new salad dressing.  Therefore, he is sought and should be found within the context of the film. Geogre 21:00, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
