Notability (again)

Even the "kept" result of the AFD discussion still hasn't eased my concerns about this person's general/basic notability. The Ent. Weekly article, whilst reliable, was just previewing his HvV appearance. (There used to be an interview video per that source, but it's gone now.) I even don't want to use Jeff Probst's top ten favorite all-time winners (primary source, IMO). This now-defunct .org website was more promotional (but for good cause), IMO.

Others are just interviews and cannot be used per WP:GNG to verify his notability: blog interview (doubtful that the Survivor Hall of Fame is, generally, that prestigious), newspaper interview in prose and quotes posing as an "article", IMO.

Still seeking other outside sources.... George Ho (talk) 22:11, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More sources that are just interviews: Stuff (NZ) interview in prose posing as an "article" quoting the subject a lot; Ent. Weekly interview after HvV exit.

Potential source verifying notability... probably: E!'s brief description about every winner.

Source connected to Survivor: ex-contestant's website.

Any other reliable sources I've overlooked or missed? George Ho (talk) 06:49, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

...Besides NY Daily News, which discusses harsh reality about his "reality" status more than the subject himself, IMO? George Ho (talk) 16:17, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Books possibly verifying his notability... solely as the Palau winner: book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4, book 5, book 6. I think none of these books verify his general notability. George Ho (talk) 05:10, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

why are you so "concerned" about a page that passed afd and drv? you would think the result would be enough 2603:7080:1700:3498:D766:FF2D:24D6:BA03 (talk) 17:29, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

it doesn't seem fair that you raise these concerns and then get anyone who questions them blocked can we have a discussion? 2603:7080:1700:3498:82CA:42AB:F147:114A (talk) 17:54, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
