The subject lacks notability, and this entry was written primarily by its subject. Grofield (talk) 05:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC) — Grofield (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. - Eastmain (talk) 07:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. WP:COI is not a reason for deletion, and the references appear to establish notability. -- Eastmain (talk) 07:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep per Eastmain. Not only is he notable for hosting a show on a major TV network (about 800 GNEWS hits), he also got fairly wide coverage online over his activities outside the show. Why the sudden interest in the subject by this new editor, I wonder. MuffledThud (talk) 10:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- From this page, his "activities outside the show" seem to be allegations of art theft. An arrest and some appearances in a reality show do not make one notable enough for permanent inclusion in an encyclopedia. If Flagg were really notable, I doubt he would have needed to create his own page. By the way, the "sudden interest" is that I stumbled across the vanity page and needed to register to complete the AfD process. In the past, I have made (infrequent) anonymous edits on a range of topics. Please avoid these ad hominem arguments.Grofield (talk) 16:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep He is definitely notable as a TV star. Million Dollar Listing cannot be considered as anything other than a hit series due to the number of people watching consistently. He is notable under Wikipedia guidelines.Joshua D. D'Lima (R) Texas (talk) 15:32, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep While the original article definitely has WP:COI issues, the subject is notable, and this has been established. The article should definitely be watched for any conflict of interest violations as it develops over time though. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
