The result was closed as keep per the nominator being a confirmed sockpuppet. The AFD was also heading towards a keep anyways. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:33, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not adhere to WP:MUSIC. Notability is not inherited just because of and AI appearence {WP:NOTINHERITED) be it because of the tabloid media frenzy (WP:INTHENEWS) or because lots of US citizens watch the show (WP:BIGNUMBER/WP:LOCALFAME) Supertart (talk) 23:25, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Passes criteria #9 of WP:MUSIC. The article simply needs a few reliable sources. I find it surprising that a brand new user knows how to write AfDs and using a bunch of Wikipedia lawyering links and it seems the user made no effort to find any reliable sources before placing the AfD and made no effort to contact editors of the AfD. Why do we have to go through the same year with the same results that the articles are kept for the finalists like the Wikipedia:WikiProject Idol series suggests?

- Because a WikiProject holds no weight at AFD and consensus can change (WP:CCC). Do not bad-mouth me as an editor as I have taken the time to read policies and guidlines (unlike others). Supertart (talk) 01:23, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per above. What concerns me is that you immediately nominate the articles for deletion without doing anything else on this project. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep: Its enough for now. Also, its generally my opinion that AfD nominations of major TV show contestants fare better and suffer less drama and distractions if you wait until the show is over.

- Keep: After polishing up the article a bit from my recent edits, it should not be nominated here at AfD because it still meets Wikipedia's criteria standards. (I made a comment similar to this one at WP:Articles for deletion/Siobhan Magnus. ATC . Talk 20:47, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to American Idol (season 9). This is a WP:BLP1E. There is no indication that this (or any other American Idol contestant) will be able to parlay this appearance into a sustainable career that would prove notable. -- Whpq (talk) 14:17, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
