Quickenden's football career does not meet WP:FOOTY and, given his age, is very unlikely to ever meet it (name me one other 26 year old who has played in the premier league for the first time at 26). He obviously does not meet the notability guidelines for his X Factor appearances, therefore it is a question of whether or not placing in I'm a Celebrity qualifies him for a Wikipedia article. I would say it doesn't. Launchballer 19:43, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- In which case I wholeheartedly withdraw everything between "football career" and "obviously". I'm not withdrawing this AfD, however: Solomon and Cocozza meet WP:MUSICBIO and Clark meets WP:ENT. A telltale phrase, which I have only just noticed, is "the only non-celebrity in the Jungle".--Launchballer 12:25, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: A quick Google News (looking for RS) search shows plenty of people that believe he has made it to celebrity status. Here's a random one that could be used to improve the article if it becomes more than speculation: [1] Cptnono (talk) 08:18, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - certainly not notable as a footballer, however probably notable as a 'media personality' or whatever they're calling realtity show stars these days. GiantSnowman 18:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - per GS, fails WP:NFOOTY, but X Factor plus IMACGMOOH appearances probably enough for GNG. Fenix down (talk) 11:17, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
