Do we have any chance whatsoever of finding out what happens to any of these people? Will we know five years from now if they are even alive? Can any of these articles ever hope to become a featured article, if the sole criterion for inclusion is appearing (not even winning) a realilty show. This isnt Dr Joyce Brothers we are talking about (American TV personality who began her career winning the $64,000 Dollar Pyramid game show)--and I challenge anyone to tell me who she played against on the show. Even she is only included because of the role she played later as a TV shrink.
I've often thought it would be useful to ask the question: will we find out about it when they die? Are they important or famous enough that there will be an obituary anywhere (even in the specialist press)? Obviously this is somewhat crystal-ball-gazing, but if someone's death goes unnoticed, we'll be left with biographical articles lacking basic details...
