James Clement (Survivor contestant)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

He is just a reality show contestant who has done nothing of note apart from Survivor. Yes, he has been on two seasons, but recent precedent shows that that is not enough. -- Scorpion0422 00:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Vote off, just being a Survivor contestant isn't enough to meet notability guidelines. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Just a contestant. Possible merge if there is a good article to merge it with. Undeath (talk) 01:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: We are all trying to be survivors, and this is a contestant in a show.  No note for this.  Utgard Loki (talk) 14:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: He has nothing notable outside the show. If he wins, or is a runner-up in Micronesia then an article can be created, but for now delete Survivorfan101 (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per those above. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR  02:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep he is a star of two seasons of a network TV show. There is no reason to require that such a star have off-screen accomplishments in addition. Edison (talk) 04:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Correction: He is one of over a dozen contestants on a reality TV show. He is hardly the star. -- Scorpion0422 04:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * He was brought back as a "favorite" in the current series, along with a select few others from the entire run of the show, showing he is a star so far as such a show has stars. How do the others' Google hits stack up to his 16,000? Edison (talk) 19:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned on another afd, the term "favorites" is used extremely loosely in the show, very few of the contestants actually were favourites from their season. And let's not forget about WP:GOOGLEHITS. -- Scorpion0422 20:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep My reasoning is essentially the same as Edison's. I would respond to Scorpion's assertion about the looseness of the term "favorites" by noting that James is certainly one of the "very few" contestants who actually were favorites from their season. I think that when you look at the number of episodes that he has appeared on, and the popularity of the series, he is comparable to many characters from non-reality series that have articles.
