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:

• 1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
• 2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual. Biographies in these cases can give undue weight to the event and conflict with neutral point of view. In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.
• 3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented. John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented.

• 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)
• Delete 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 an stand alone article on the subject is not needed, best case scenario, we could do a redirect to The Amazing Race Canada Season 7, but I do not think it's pertinent.
