Chad Lopez

Non-notable actor. This individual has only appeared in reality TV (as seen in this IMDb link and has no notable accomplishments except for receiving second place in the March of Dimes, a non-notable event. Cunard (talk) 15:37, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails notability guidelines for actors. While the March of Dimes itself is very notable, I would imagine that a dance for them isn't individually notable. Alternatively, redirect to the HGTV show he's featured in. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 15:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, do not redirect. I could see redirection if he was one of the hosts, the announcer, or maybe even producer, but not a carpenter. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have not seen this TV show, but my impression is that this person is someone who works behind the scenes, but rather an on-camera performer whose work plays an important part in making the house more valuable and more attractive to prospective buyers. I do not know how many on-screen minutes he averages per show, but I think he is a significant cast member. -- Eastmain (talk) 17:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't seen it either, but according to the Designed to Sell article, there are 4 hosts, 4 designers, 9 "experts", and 10 carpenters(!). Neither article in any way indicates he's any more notable than the rest of the bunch. I'm sure he does make the houses more attractive, but the same could be said for whoever mows the lawn, takes the trash away, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Designed to Sell. Being a carpenter on a design show is a bit different from being a behind-the-scenes carpenter. You're on camera, your designs are featured as solutions, etc. That isn't enough for an article, but makes you a plausible search term. Generally on these shows there is one featured carpenter per house/show, so it isn't like he's one of several people hustling in the background. --Dhartung | Talk 23:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's always been two carpenters per program on Designed to Sell. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 18:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect As per Dhartung -- I don't see the point in deleting this article if he is a part of the programme. Ecoleetage (talk) 17:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Designed to Sell. Hes a guy on national TV, but a carpenter? Not enough to warrant an article, but a redirect would suffice. Of course, he would be notable if he bombed _______, but this isn't a keep arguement, =). DA PIE EATER (talk) 01:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Designed to Sell. Don't get me wrong, I love the show. But this is not for our wiki to have. And Starblind: Why everything's so inflated is because it films in four different locations, under two (or three) different production companies, with real estate experts like crazy (some appear on other HGTV programs, like Brandie Malay and Donna and Shannon Freeman). The four designers don't appear anywhere else, only ONE of the hosts (that would be Clive Pearse, who is also at the helm of Design Star) does something outside of the program, and ONLY one carpenter should have his own article (Steve Hanneman, who also has the Hammer Heads program). The carpenters in Designed to Sell outside of Hanneman probably don't need articles. I have watched innumerable amounts of Designed to Sell.

Redirect to Designed to Sell. The subject does not have any independent reliable sources coverage of himself and is not the lead or host of the show. Does not meet WP:BIO or WP:ENTERTAINER guidelines a result.--Finalnight (talk) 00:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
