Rob "Coach" Fulton

Game show contestans = notable? Didn't think so. Tried to speedy, but an admin told me to take it to AfD, so I am. User:Purplefeltangel/sig 19:45, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: As a rule of thumb, game show contestants are not inherently notable. However, the first person in a country (in this case, Australia) to win a million bucks or some approximate equivalent milestone has sufficient notability. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 20:18, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Strongly agree with User Lomn. Moriori 20:55, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, The first person to win a million would seem notable to me --Amxitsa 20:58, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - first contestant to win a million dollars on the Australian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Mind you as a former contestant on that show I may be biased. I should also note that we don't have an article on Bob Fulton, the notable rugby league player and coach that he got his nickname from but I will add it to the to-do list.

  • I must admit that's who I thought this was going to be about when I saw the title on afd... Grutness...wha? 00:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Deleting this itself would be bias. If Ken Jennings is notable, this article is notable to me too. -- WB 03:00, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. First winner of the million is notable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He is the first Winner of Australian Who Wants To Be A Millionaire which makes him a noteable person. Smickel 4:55, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Lomn and all the others above. The first winner of the show is notable enough for their own article. Perhaps move to Rob Fulton (contestant) or something. -- Mgm|^(talk) 09:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• keep' please this is really notable agree with lomn Yuckfoo 21:31, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep' Agree with lomn --Snapnz86 22:48, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep i'm the creator of the article. Age: 11. Firstly, well done for the others who have decided to add more. It'll be a shame to lose that article in it's first fortnight. But, let me note, i don't know a awful lot about him, so it's up to you to keep it going. What makes NO sense at all is that the people who have voted to keep this article on wikipedia HAVE NOT CONTRIBUTED AT ALL! O.K, sorry to get over the top there, but you get the point. Anyway, here are a few ideas:

Add ALL the questions he answered. Sure the big questions that helped him win a million is good, but i'm sure that everyone wants to see all the questions. Also, i heard that it took him 2 shows to win it so put that in as well.

Put in some info from that show after he won the money. Add in there some comments from the physcic and his family (if nessecary ask for permission first).

And lastly, if possible, add a few comments about his early life. So lets pick up the pace and add a few more things in this article!
