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...
