Delete. Little or no notability outside the show. 174.236.96.218 (talk) 11:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Fails notability criteria and is full of info on how he did on the show. He never won the million dollars. 108.12.134.72 (talk) 16:39, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Fails WP:GNG and other criteria. Elmo420v (talk) 18:07, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Most of the article focuses on his performance on the show. He didn't win the million dollar prize so the content should be merged to the Survivor articles. SurvivorFanHH (talk) 14:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I am very wary of making articles for individual reality show contestants, they can be notable solely because they have been on the show, but that has to be from significant coverage about the player, and not just the show. As a Survivor fan, Wade has firmly established himself as one of the show's most colorful characters and the sourcing on the article - which mostly talk about his behavior on the show - demonstrate this. There is no requirement that notability outside of the show has to be met, just that it has to be more than a random contestant that participates. --MASEM (t) 22:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
