~~Delete~~ changing to Redirect as per RCLC below. Fails notability and also verifiability. (I have serious doubts about some of the stuff in the article - fire dancer??) There is lots about this person in social media and self-generated sites, but absolutely nothing at Google News that seems to be about this person. --MelanieN (talk) 18:21, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

delete. No reasonable notability presented. Being once a contestant is no fame. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:11, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to King of the Nerds; the subject has received significant coverage by way of being a contestant on a nationally televised program, and thus the subject falls under WP:BLP1E, where all the coverage has been due to the subject being a contestant. A redirect to the television program is a common outcome when the subject has only received significant coverage through the program.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:42, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
