Relisting comment: After 3 previous AFDs that had Keep or No consensus closures, I'd like to see more well-articulated support for Deletion before deleting this article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 05:42, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article is almost exclusively about his appearance on Survivor, which is not in itself evidence of notability, and nothing else that is mentioned is evidence of notability either. This belongs on a Survivor fan wiki, not Wikipedia. Chagropango (talk) 10:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can sympathize with the re-lister's concern and will make a considered statement for a subject which was put up at AfD thrice eight years ago and this summer thrice relisted at this deletion process after almost four weeks of appearance. 1) As of this datestamp there is nothing applied to the page approaching significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources directly detailing the subject. The subject fails every SNG which might conceivably be applied. 2) This page is a creation of a locked account, blocked because of sockpuppetry. The page has been shepherded since creation by other locked, blocked sock accounts, IP accounts which also specialize in Survivor trivia and apparently, the subject themselves. 3) It is telling that even though this article has been formally listed for deletion since July 25, nobody has bothered to defend this page at this process or offered a single source in support. In fact, the last edit to the page was the nomination for deletion. To my eyes, nobody (who is still able to edit Wikipedia) wants to defend this drek. I see no reason to wait for another seven day period to elapse. BusterD (talk) 19:11, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. I should add this 4th AfD procedure on a subject so weakly covered in media demonstrates the importance of observing WP:RECENTISM. When considering WP:BLP1E, a reading of WP:PERSISTENCE, a guidance for events, may help us understand that when sources lack stubbornness, the subject will lack sustained coverage required for GNG.
