The result was   redirect to Survivor: Borneo. and delete. BLP1E clearly applies and many of the keep votes are not policy based. I discarded Pinkbull's delete vote as it was contradictory. Spartaz Humbug! 19:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC) Striking comment about pinkbull's vote which was broken by a typo. Post close amendment makes no difference to outcome.

The subject of this article is known for one thing: lasting one episode of Survivor. That's not notable, and if it is, it is a WP:BLP1E. Mkativerata (talk) 20:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I wrote a longer article on her, but it was deleted. User Phaeton23 20:17, 30 May 2010
 * Indeed it was. AfD here.--Mkativerata (talk) 00:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the appropriate season (Survivor: Borneo in this case). We have a list of contestants there. Buddy431 (talk) 18:34, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * IMHO, as a wikipedia editor/lover/survivor fan, I think every contestant should have a page and a picture so when someone goes back years later, they will have a face and description to jog their memory of the person. This show was one of the highest rated ever, and it still going strong after 20 seasons. User Phaeton23 23:32, 31 May 2010
 * Consider reading WP:ILIKEIT. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That whole article has RELIABLE links, so that link you left=void. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phaeton23 (talk • contribs) 09:44, 6 June 2010
 * My point was that you seem to want the article to stay simply because you like it. Erpert (let's talk about it) 17:29, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The reason I like this article is because I really hunted around to find info about her, only to have somebody call her bio "not notable" and delete all the info I found on her. This article was much longer, and it was long enough to be a stub. There are plenty of pages that are not even as long as this one is now and they still exist. I just feel that deleting this is calling the kettle black. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phaeton23 (talk • contribs)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Redirect to Survivor: Borneo as Buddy431 has suggested. What little trivia exists could be added at the Contestants section there. Location (talk) 01:23, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I agree that not EVERY Survivor contestant deserves their own article, this person is very notable for being the very first person voted off of the series.-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;
 * Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. -- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;  03:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Survivor: Borneo to preserve the history. The current information can easily be included in the main article and it leaves the option to expand the article later.  Movementarian (Talk) 16:53, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep She gets plenty of news coverage for her time on Survivor, as well as breast cancer awareness, and her other accomplishments. More could be added to this article.  I'll go do a bit of work on it now.   D r e a m Focus  02:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If you can find significant coverage of her other accomplishments (eg cancer awareness) I'd be more than happy to reconsider this nomination. I've found though that coverage of these accomplishments appears incidental to coverage of her Survivor involvement, in an "oh and by the way" fashion. But coverage like this seems promising.--Mkativerata (talk) 08:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. This person is known only for one notable event.  WP policy clearly tells us that such a person does not deserve their own article.    talk 18:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Media coverage does [not] appear to be significant.-- Pink Bull  07:07, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable for age and media coverage surely. Even in Australia. She is known internationally. AWHS (talk) 09:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: Sufficiently notable to keep, though not a home run subject.  Otherwise redirect to Survivor: Borneo.  Consensus seems to favor a keep after prior relisting.  Its not unusual for deleted Survivor articles to get recreated and stay, I looked into this once, its happened many times.--Milowent (talk) 06:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- game show contestants are not automatically notable, particularly unsuccessful ones, and the coverage does not appear to me to be sufficient. Reyk  YO!  02:02, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Survivor article. The information about other activities does not assert that she is notable for these activities.  There is the article from the Lodi News-Sentinel, but I don't imagine that's sufficient.  Being first to be voted off is trivia that can be added to the main Survivor article and the season article. - BalthCat (talk) 00:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
