At worst, the article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) Main coverage is [1][2] and apart from that, just passing mentions in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. At best, he's still a WP:BLP1E and his press coverage is limited exclusively to his Wii exercise experiment. He is not known outside this one event. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please {{ping}} me. – czar 05:41, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now as the best I found for him was one Books link. SwisterTwister talk 06:10, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Wii Fit: The two sources presented by nom should be enough to make a mention of the real-life benefits of the game in the article. Supernerd11 _{Firemind ^_^ Pokedex} 01:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think the articles covered him in depth enough to warrant a redirect. It's not going to be a common search term for the Wii Fit and I don't see how info about him (by name) could be added without being trivia. czar 03:46, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This post on a Philadelphia newspaper blog seems good since the author is a writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, another article from a community newspaper there, and Fox all talk about him in-depth. There are also smaller mentions in The Washington Post, Time Magazine, IGN, and a number of others. In other words, there are good articles out there, they just weren't actually in our article.

As far as a merge goes, I think with as well-documented as this is, it wouldn't be crufty to mention it in passing. I'm not sure it's enough for a full article like Jared Fogle has, but notable nonetheless. Supernerd11 _{Firemind ^_^ Pokedex} 15:20, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
