BLP on a panelist in a reality TV show. Currently only referenced with sources from the TV station and it seems hard to find more. Sam SailorSing 02:41, 13 March 2014 (UTC)reply
Notability on Wikipedia is a question of coverage in
reliable sources, not of simply asserting that he's the most notable person on the show without any
verifiable evidence to support the claim. He may be the one you like the best, but that's not what gets a person onto Wikipedia — independent coverage in
real secondary sources is.

Delete My search showed a complete lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Coverage by MTV itself doesn't count, not does discussion on a plethora of social media sites.

Delete. For the record I previously prodded this, although the creator then disputed the prod nomination with more or less the same unsourced claim that he's the "breakout star of the show" that I took issue with above; the only new source the creator has added at all is a
Livejournal post (which is still not a valid source, obviously), and I had the same lack of success as the nominator and Cullen328 in tracking down any substantive
reliable source coverage at all.

Redirect to 1 Girl 5 Gays.
WP:TOOSOON. There's a reasonable chance Alex will ascend in
WP:Reliable sources so that it becomes possible to write a decent article on him, but we're not there yet. He needs to be in interviews in reputable publications, and covered a bit in depth, like a full profile article. But he's on his way.
Meanwhile there's no reason the 1 Girl 5 Gays show article he's notable for can't be where this is redirected. In fact a short cast list would probably help that article.
