• Delete People notable for only one event/ WP:BLP1E We generally should avoid having an article on a person when each of three conditions is met, Subjects meets all 3 points. Wikipedia article are about subjects that are notable and the nationality of the subjects does not influence or change the criteria for notability. Either the subject is notable or not. Mr.Makokis, fits the guidelines of WP:BLP1E. The subject participated in the Amazing Race. There are no guidelines for winners of a TV reality show, in fact if we can look at the failed proposal here: Wikipedia:Notability (Reality Television participants). Winners of tv reality shows do not justify creating a Wikipedia page. The subject remains a low-profile individual, with a modest following on social media (less than 10K) [1] with a average of 10 comments per post, indicating that the subject does not have a "cult" following. As per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Any biography, the subject did not received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has not been nominated for such an award several times. Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers, the subject has not had a significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions and does not have a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. The subject did receive some coverage about his career and his passage on the amazing race, but ultimately he received coverage for his TV reality passage. The event(s) he was involved with are not significant, such has The Amazing Race or his career, therefore in my opinion a stand alone article on the subject is not needed, or at best case scenario, we could do a redirect to The Amazing Race Canada Season 7, but I do not think it's pertinent.

• Strong keep Wikipedia is woefully lacking in articles about indigineous people and this article is about a notable individual. See this which is more than significant coverage, as is this. Praxidicae (talk) 17:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I'm not entirely sure if this would be an individual only notable for one event. Appears to meet WP:BASIC, and as noted above, there is significant coverage available. Sneakerheadguy (talk) 21:04, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

• Keep: meets BASIC and ANYBIO. The Ace in Spades (talk) 12:20, 15 December 2020 (UTC) — The Ace in Spades (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Waskerton (talk • contribs).

• Keep - After a BEFORE search, it's clear that this individual meets GNG and BASIC, as they have received SIGCOV in reliable sources independent of the subject. Praxidicae has found good indepth coverage. They are not just notable for one event. I've just added two additional citations to the article. Netherzone (talk) 15:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Relisting comment: To see if we can come up with a stronger consensus.

• Keep: Not WP:1E and comfortably passes WP:BASIC. JavaHurricane 06:12, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
