Not notable outside of Survivor. Fails WP:BLP1E.  Gloss •  talk  07:03, 3 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. I don't think BLP1E immediately works for reality TV stars, though I do agree that in general we should never presume that just being on reality TV is a reason to keep an article on one. There definitely can be more sourcing but knowing how he played in his original season, I suspect this shouldn't be too hard to find to justify why he was considered an atypical player for Survivor (age and smarts over brawn), and he has had post-Survivor career aspects.  --M ASEM  (t) 07:50, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep for now, he was very popular on Survivor and clearly has notability in table tennis. Therefore, BLP1E doesn't apply. Survivorfan1995 (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
