Delete per above. Fails notability criteria and is full of info on how he did on the show. He never won the million dollars. 108.12.134.72 (talk) 16:39, 19 April 2013 (UTC)— 108.12.134.72 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete per above. Most of the article focuses on his performance on the show. He didn't win the million dollar prize so the content should be merged to the Survivor articles.

Keep While I am very wary of making articles for individual reality show contestants, they can be notable solely because they have been on the show, but that has to be from significant coverage about the player, and not just the show. As a Survivor fan, Wade has firmly established himself as one of the show's most colorful characters and the sourcing on the article - which mostly talk about his behavior on the show - demonstrate this. There is no requirement that notability outside of the show has to be met, just that it has to be more than a random contestant that participates. --MASEM (t) 22:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per Massem. I'm certainly not in favor of creating an article for every reality show contestant. But Wade's notability rises above most survivor contestants -- as indicated by the sources. There seems to be no BLP issues with this article either, so I see no detriment to the pedia in keeping this. little green rosetta(talk)
