225:, for which I feel the criteria for WP encyclopedicity should be very high. And I'm a fan of the show and a supporter of all kinds of strategy and knowledge games. Keep everything J!-related in one or two articles, with enough sections for everything that the editors find to be sufficiently verifiable, NPOV, outstandingly influential, long-term contributions to the field, and otherwise policy-worthy. Not everything that fans of a particular hobby or performer or institution could possibly want. Jeopardy former recordholders and champions barely clear that line for me enough to go in the parent article, and not enough for their own articles. 168:(as an example of many who are were once 1st but have been eclipsed) He was a trailblazer being the first contenstant who made significant $ after the 5-day limit was removed. Although I don't agree that once notable always notable (though I would say once notable - we should give strong deference to their notability) 51:
As with Brian Weikle above, Tom Walsh lost a great deal of notability when Ken Jennings shattered his records. Currently, I'd say he has limited notability outside of the Jeopardy! world -- but I'm still on the fence. So I figured I'd let the community decide.

somewhere. Not sure where. Maybe to an article that hasn't been created yet, in which case this article might as well be kept until a new page for champions or records for game shows in general or something is made.
221:'s "trailblazer" justification above is the only reason I see for keeping Mr. Walsh (or was that for Mr. Cousy?) anywhere. Even Jeopardy is (and was always) 143:
Keep. For our purposes, a thing cannot be notable one minute and non-notable the next. Encyclopedic once is encyclopedic forever.

Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.

Not an Andy Worhol fan? I think notability can often last just 15 mins, and wikipedia should recognise this. --

Go hard or go home. Call Ken Jennings and see if he'll let you have your notability back. --
