Jenah Doucette

This person's only claim to notability is an appearance as a contestant on America's Next Top Model, Cycle 9. She has not received significant press coverage (except for one article in her hometown paper). It's possible that she will become notable at some point, as many other former contestants of this show have, but she certainly isn't at this point.

Delete Let me say it like this: if the notability criteria allow someone who competed in a nationally televised event without winning it, and was covered in their local paper for doing this, while they were 18 years old, then I could have a Wikipedia article about myself, too. It's just not enough public exposure or significance. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 17:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There needs to be significant events that overshadow the show they are participating in to even warrant their own page if they are simply a contestant. If she wins the cycle then the page stays and who knows at this point. Shalom: I'd have my own page too if that were the case. I was a fierce carry over champ on Wheel of Fortune =) --AussieJess ^{talk —Preceding comment was added at 08:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)}[reply]
Keep For now. The series is not over until this Wednesday, and she is still in the running. According to the America's Next Top Model page, the winner and first runner-up of each cycle all have pages attributed to them. Jenah has a great chance to make it to the top 2. So, if that is the case, going by tradition, she would get a page. Anyhow, there are certain other non finishers in previous cycles that do have pages as well 69.90.207.137 (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)samusek2[reply]
- The non-winners, including runners-up, who have articles have them because they satisfy notability guidelines. That is, they have done something notable (modeling, acting, etc.) other than their appearance on ANTM. Kahlen Rondot, for example, is one runner-up who does not have an article. Simply being on a reality TV show, ANTM or other, does not confer notability, though it is true that many contestants later move on to bigger and better things.
