Shane Minor[edit]
Claims to be a former Mr. USA, which is a redlink, so I doubt that it's a real notable claim. Only other claims are modeling in Playgirl and three roles in redlinked films -- a look at IMDb seems to indicate that these films are quite non-notablle. Overall, he doesn't seem to have enough going for him to pass WP:BIO. (Note: If this page is deleted, may I ask that the content from Shane Minor (singer) be moved to Shane Minor?)

- Delete. My Gsearch didn't net anything beyond the IMDB and TVguide that could possibly be used to assert notability, and beyond the first page they're all directory entries for the singer anyways. The IMDB and TVguide hits don't show anything that really seems to indicate notablity other than a few minor roles in a few movies. He fails WP:N due to lack of coverage. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 03:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, a very minor actor and male model. Not notable. Lankiveil (talk) 13:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Obviously, I disagree since I took the time TO NOTE HIM. He was a Mr USA in 1994. That information is easy enough to verify by checking the list of previous title holders. Also, he was one of the earliest pioneers in using the multimedia to offer personal trainer coaching via cd-rom. He has worked as a fitness and clothing model as well as dabling in acting.

Listen, the guy was a Mr USA. That claim can be verified by checking the list of previous Mr USA title holders. The fact that no one decided to write about it on Wiki is hardly surprising since the title is no longer being awarded. Shane was a celebrity in the 1990s. You deleted his entry which seems odd. The purpose of Wikipedia seems to be a popularity contest that only gives recognition to certain select individuals. It is NOT a source of reliable information because of this.
