Sarah Dankleman

prod was removed by User:Badlydrawnjeff with the comment "inherently notable reality contestent." Certainly, a few losing contestants sometimes go on to notability. This is not one of them; after losing on the show, she finds herself just another struggling model and five years will be forgotten completely. I don't think we intend Misplaced Pages to be a Who's Who of losing game show contestants. Mikeblas 17:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, contestent on America's Next Top Model, absolutely confers notability. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

  All that confers is the ability to look hot. Caknuck 18:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:BIO, not notable enough for the CW to keep her bio page up on the ANTM page & not notable enough to spell her name correctly (according to IMDb, it's "Sarah Dankelman" ). Caknuck 18:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, she meets WP:BIO, under "notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions." --badlydrawnjeff talk 18:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Except she is not an actor (notable or otherwise) and appearing on a reality show is not the same as being a TV personality. Delete Emeraude 19:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
      • We certainly disagree on that, in letter and in spirit. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
        • If you read further, WP:BIO gives criteria for notability: Features in pop culture publications; fan base; independent bio; name recognition & endorsements. I see none of those satisfied. If you can demonstrate that any of the models in AfD meet these, I'll reconsider my vote. Caknuck 20:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Start with any magazines that cover the show. Continue with the hundreds of fan sites for ANTM. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Sorry, but being a Top Model contestant just doesn't ring my notability chimes. EVula 21:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable. Edison 23:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete realitytvcruft. Bwithh 01:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete ditto above cruft comment L0b0t 01:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete proper term is "game show contestant", and game show contestants are not inherently notable (to put it mildly). Xtifr _tälk 08:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as just another game show contestant. Mr Spunky Toffee 21:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. reality contestents like this are indeed capable of being "non-notable", and this one appears to fit that category. She was the second person to be eliminated, and does not appear to have capitalised on her 15 minutes fame, so would be destined to fail the 20 year test with quite a few years to spare. Having said the above, there is quite a lot of precedence for delete with redirect to ANTM4. Ohconfucius 06:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable game show contestant. WillyWonty 22:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
