469:. Since the academic and working experiences of the candidates plays an important role in Sir Alan's hiring decision, the sub-article provides important and relevant background information about the series. In addition, The Apprentice contains business-oriented tasks to test the candidates' academic and working experiences; TAR's challenges aren't specific to any one discipline or ability... thus I don't see how general contestant biographies contain any relevant information relating to team performance on the Race. -- 226: 136: 206: 367: 346: 276: 258: 64: 649:
usual process and brought this here; Madchester, I think you should have done that in the first place, since it was a major change you chose to unilaterally implement. To be honest I saw it happening and did nothing myself as I was busy with other concerns and haven't edited these articles for months, but anyway I'm glad that someone took the initiative to initiate discussion.
126: 95: 615:, since a candidate's education and work experience is an important factor in Sir Alan's hiring decision. Sir Alan will refer to a candidate's past experiences during the Boardroom. Likewise, on a show like HK, when Gordon Ramsay chooses a winner, it is heavily reliant on a candidate's actual kitchen experience, regardless of their success during aired challenges. 286: 514:
I was just about to link that article in the discussion. I think that's the best way to merge all contestant info in one article, without resorting to mini-biographies of each team. While I can see mini-biographies relaying relevant academic, technical, or work experience in talent-specific reality

I have removed the paragraph concerning Mark and Mallory as the first ever "composite team". This is excessive trivia that does not belong in the lead. I'm also not sure how the original editor who added that defines "composite team", but Eric and Danielle of Season 11 were a "composite team" by my

The Amazing Race 32 was filmed in Late 2018 and The Amazing Race 33 was filmed in February 2020, but their age was followed by CBS Website at the time of airing. I searched all of the date of birth of contestants from The Amazing Race Fandom Wiki its not an actually age between date of birth and

The use of a "file" column is entirely too meta for a proper Knowledge (XXG) article, and as such there is such a relatively small number of individuals for which there are freely available photographs that it makes it unnecessary. The gallery format that had been introduced, over including every

I agree with Madchester. Racers are picked purely on interview, with scouts and on personality, not on relative experience. One cohesive list of contestants is sufficient enough to describe them. It does follow the same pattern as the Survivor list, which is featured. I do think the individual
823:, much of which is not related to the race results. Gernally, contestant notability is limited to their placing on the Race; any notable events outside of the Race should only be included if the contestant has acheived additional notability (say as a beauty queen or actor), as indicated per 846:
I propose we set a ground rule that nicknames only be placed if the credits for that season billed the contestant by that name. For example, Leonard "Lenny" Hudson and Emily "Starr" Spangler should be acceptable, but not Nathan "Nate" Hagstrom or Oswald "Ozzie" Mendez.

No, you used to be able to sort the ***entire*** table. Now you can only sort sections. Before, you could click one button and arrange every single contestant in order of youngest to oldest, or in alphabetical order. Now you can't because there's multiple tables.

What's the point of it? Why do we have a list of living contestants when only two of them have perished? Unless the whole point is to show their current age. If so, why don't we just add a column to the existing table? Proposing deletion of second section.

Can we go through with the merge now? We haven't seen any strong arguments for keeping separate pages containing biographical details for otherwise trivial individuals. Nor is there any real opposition against the move.

just because the biographical details are verifiable, doesn't mean that they warrant inclusion in Knowledge (XXG). The List of Contestants is a proper compromise with regards to the show's format and Wiki-policy. --

Besides, my argument is that the contestant lists are fine as they are. Lumping them together is what makes them useless. If you like the table format, I'm okay with that. that's a different discussion.

With shows like TAR, Big Brother or Survivor, there's no skill-based prerequisites required to be on the show. It's superfluous to have contestant articles containing
