If the individual is more well known and more published than an average college professor (based on the U.S. practice of calling all full-time academics professors), they can and should be included. This argument fails straight away, since I can't name one single US college professor. I find fails WP:BIO to be a rather silly POV statement - who says it fails it?
There are 1.6 million articles on wikipedia and I tend to think one factual article with sources to back it up is not worth deleting. Let's not forget the player didn't just appear on the game show, he won 15 shows in a row and was champion and champion of champions of the show. I just don't see in what way this is not a genuine article. Mglovesfun 23:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC) reply
Second citation: Sportspeople/athletes/competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports or other competitive activities that are themselves considered notable, including college sports in the United States.
This article seems to fit directly into this category. So it passes WP:BIO with flying colours. Mglovesfun 23:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC) reply
