He's only notable for appearances on Big Brother and Survivor (and has only semi notability on the latter show) So, he's really just an ordinary guy who's had fifteen minutes of fame on TV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Survivorfan1995 (talk • contribs) 06:00, 4 January 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

Keep for procedural reasons. Nominator has failed to sign the nomination. Nominator agrees that the subject of the article is notable, which is the threshold for inclusion. So why should we delete an article about an admittedly notable person? Also, where is the evidence that this person was only on TV for fifteen minutes, or that their "fame" ended at that point?

@User:Cullen328: 15 minutes of fame isn't a literal fifteen minutes. It's an expression referring to a person with short-lived media publicity. Survivorfan1995 (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am well aware that Andy Warhol popularized that phrase in 1968, Survivorfan1995, as I enjoyed visiting Manhattan art galleries in those years and was and still am a fan of his work. My comment was ironic and was intended to highlight the fact that you acknowledged notability and notability is not temporary. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GNG. Moss is covered in significant detail by multiple reliable sources: Entertainment Weekly interview, New York Daily News reports Moss winner of Big Brother 12, Toronto Sun interview, Calgary Herald interview, Dallas Fort Worth Pegasus News reports Moss and girlfriend to compete together, CBS biography, combined with girlfriend's, and Huffington Post reports winner of Big Brother 12. Definitely notable. Binksternet (talk) 15:30, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

then keep per Binksternet's well presented arguments (see ad hominem). Frietjes (talk) 15:55, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Binksternet has made a sound argument for the subject meeting general notability guidelines. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 18:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notability guidelines have met and is making much wide on Big Brother win. ApprenticeFan ^work 11:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's no reason why he should have his own page. There are several gameshows winners who don't have their own pages. He only appeared on two gameshows. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
