 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   redirect to The Chase (game show). No policy-based argument presented for keep, deletion arguments correctly argue on WP:BIO. Labbett's existence is WP:V, redirects are cheap, and no arguments were presented against redirection. joe deckertalk to me 21:00, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Fails WP:BIO; likely a vanity page at this stage. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:04, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't seem particularly notable. Possibly worth merging a sentence or two to The Chase (game show) and leaving this page as a redirect there. --Dweller (talk) 20:13, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Don't see why he is less notable than the other Chasers or the Eggheads. May need a trim - not deletion. --Ian Dalziel (talk) 21:22, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Ian. You're an old-timer here at Wikipedia, but I see you've not participated in an AfD for some years. That's an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument. It could be that other articles you refer to should be deleted. For this article to be kept, Labett needs to pass WP:BIO, in other words, he needs to have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial references in reliable sources. The article has one source that could be viewed that way: the BBC one. If you can show us some other non-trivial RS coverage, I think we can pack this up as a keep. But arguing that he has the same level of notability as other people with articles doesn't really help. --Dweller (talk) 23:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I certainly don't think he should be deleted as I think people already knew who he was even before The Chase, but I will support a redirect to The Chase if it comes to that just in case anyone wishes to revisit this in the future. Unreal7 (talk) 12:28, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't really find any evidence that he passes WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. Only one hit from GNEWS that gives passing mention rather than significant coverage. If he were the 'top quizzer' it would be a different matter. The WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments are not rebuttals. Pol430  talk to me 18:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
