 * Keep Manifestly notable for life's work and per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. I don't really see what the issue here is as far as questioning notability. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:42, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * As there's no "event" here, this is not a "textbook WP:BLP1E." The policy is not WP:BLP1THINGOFANYKIND, and we do not delete articles just because the subject is notable only because of a physical/medical condition. Plus, as the focus of BLP1E is to avoid separate articles on people incidentally caught up in larger news events who otherwise remain "low-profile", it's nonsensical to try and stretch it to cover someone who played a semi-fictional version of themselves in a feature film, appeared multiple times on The Jerry Springer Show, and was the subject of a TLC special. Clearly not someone who is trying to remain low-profile. So per satisfying WP:GNG as the subject of significant coverage by multiple reliable sources (and sustained over time, so not a NOTNEWS issue), keep. postdlf (talk) 18:11, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Candle and postdlf. Is it starting to WP:SNOW yet? A medical condition is not an event, and the guy's gotten a lot of media coverage. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:05, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. The focus of a movie and a television special, that should be sufficient.  Gamaliel  ( talk ) 18:13, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
