Denise Stapley

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable for anything outside this series, her role within it was not substantial, and her life is not extensively covered by reliable sources. Anything here can easily go on her Survivor season's article. HouseHusbandD.A. (talk) 10:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating these related pages for the same reasons:

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 July 27. —cyberbot I ^Notify_Online 10:24, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - At least Benjamin Wade (Survivor contestant) should be removed from this AFD as the article has been at AFD three times before with a consensus to keep it twice and the middle one speedy keep.

This would need to have its own separate AFD because of the history. GB fan 10:43, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 2 - Sophie Clarke has been through a separate AFD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sophie Clarke, also with a determination to redirect to Survivor: South Pacific. This was done and then about 9 months later the article was restored. GB fan 10:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another comment: I had noticed that myself. Most of these had already been redirected per consensus in the past, only to be restored later for unexplained reasons. This AFD is totally asinine, but is likely the only way to get the job done for good. HouseHusbandD.A. (talk) 11:01, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Survivor is a wildly popular reality TV show in the U.S., and each winner receives tons of media coverage. Web searches for each of these names turns up plenty of results and plenty of sources with varying information. They all pass our general notability guidelines.

keep, the Denise Stapley and Benjamin Wade articles are well-sourced, and the citations indicate notability. Frietjes (talk) 15:42, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Especially with sources to her mother's breast cancer. What does that kind of sources add to one's notability? --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Someone isn't notable just because a relative is mentioned in the news. Even if Denise's mother was notable, that wouldn't automatically constitute an article for Denise. HouseHusbandD.A. (talk) 22:03, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the Benjamin Wade article, but no strong opinion on the others. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 16:48, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close and renominate or otherwise discuss separately. Group nominations like this, where most or all of the outcomes will turn on article-specific issues, are bad practice and often lead to questionable outcomes.

Not to mention the nominator's accounts first ever edits were nominating these pages for deletion. Gloss • talk 21:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Gloss: @Unscintillating: My brother is an occasional Wikipedia contributor, I've learned a bit from him, and I've made some edits myself as an IP on a few public computers. I created this account because I saw the issues with these pages and I was unable to nominate them for deletion as an unregistered user. I plan to make further contributions, but I'm rather busy in real life, so I only spend time online sporadically. I'll get back to you guys later. HouseHusbandD.A.

Speedy keep Second edit to Wikipedia is to mass nominate articles for deletion. This needs SPI. Unscintillating (talk) 21:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
