Tommy Sheehan (Survivor contestant): Unsure whether suffering from concussion and then being medically disqualified from The Challenge: Spies, Lies & Allies makes him also notable.  The EW piece is just an interview with the article subject and more of a primary source than secondary.  Same with the EW questionnaire , where he announced his retirement from reality TV.  The Distractify article just recaps the primary source, an episode of The Challenge where the concussion occurred, and cites the EW questionnaire just to announce news about his retirement from reality TV.  IMO None of these sources verify his independent notability.  (Well, his concussion was heart-wrenching, and I don't mean to offend it or downplay it or be insensitive about it.)  The sources can prove that he's, in an existent manner, more than just a Survivor winner, but I just don't see how these sources make him more notable.  But the sources and notability, including (in)substantial coverage, are not just the issues I'm raising.  The article's compliance with WP:BLP1E and/or WP:BIO1E and/or WP:NOT is what I'm more concerned about.  Furthermore, I'm concerned about this person's compliance with WP:NACADEMICS , i.e. his notability as a schoolteacher.  I just couldn't find one reliable source contextually verifying his notability as an academic or a schoolteacher or a school district employee.  How this person won the Island of the Idols season can be already explained in the season page.  How this person was medically disqualified can be already explained in one of The Challenge season pages.  IMO The article should be redirected to either Survivor: Island of the Idols or List of Survivor (American TV series) contestants .

Sheehan violates WP:BLP1E , being solely notable for winning Survivor (even then, some would doubt if that even counts), but sourcing is poor on the subject, mostly being interviews, and notability as a teacher is non-existent.  JML1148 ( Talk | Contribs ) 10:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  he is most known for winning Survivor 39, but he has made other media appearances which warrants a keep.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecheeseistalking99 ( talk • contribs ) 20:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] To which other media appearances besides Island of the Idols and The Challenge were you referring?  How is The Challenge sufficient to save this article from redirection?  George Ho ( talk ) 22:27, 9 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Meets the criteria of WP:NACTOR .  Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:37, 9 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] How is he professionally an actor, a celebrity, or anything else?  He appeared in just two television shows and no other, and his Survivor win was his only significant role.  He didn't contribute much to the entertainment field.  George Ho ( talk ) 23:45, 9 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I concur.  I wouldn't classify a reality show contestant as an actor, nor under anything else that would fall under WP:NACTOR .  JML1148 ( Talk | Contribs ) 04:17, 14 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : So, if he had only won survivor, I'd agree he doesn't meet the guidelines per BLP1E, but having another television series appearance (as much as that's over only 3 episodes) tips the balance for me. I agree it's a tight one, but there are at least a couple articles on the refs that show he's had some significant coverage due to the Survivor win.  WP:NACTOR #1 seems like a reasonably low bar to me.  Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs ) 09:23, 10 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] In other words, he also meets WP:NBASIC , making WP:BIOSPECIAL inapplicable.  Right?  George Ho ( talk ) 09:46, 10 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Reply made at
