[edit] Jared Yates

Jared Yates (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) Hardly a notable person at all, finishing 24th in a small TV show, no one special or well heard of. Already been a redirect as being a non-notable contestant. Retiono Virginian 20:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete - the info seems to be out there, even some reliable sources (ie newspaper articles about his quest for idoldom), but he still fails WP:MUSIC in my book due to getting voted out "in the first round of eliminations", as one source put it. Most of the newspaper articles seem to be purely local, too. Huon 20:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - 24th seems far down the list to me, and I don't see him having done anything in the two years since he appeared that makes him noteworthy, especially under WP:MUSIC and our other guidelines. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete pending sources The article's only references don't appear to be independent of the subject or from reliable sources. I'll reconsider if the article can provide multiple, independent reliable articles about the subject. Dugwiki 21:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as not notable: among the 271 unique Ghits, maybe about 50 were for other people fo the same name, about 20 in particular related to a footballer in the Caymans. His bio potentially fails WP:BIO, as almost all of the Ghits are show marketing or trivial mentions. Outside of the idol context, there is nothing, and especially no achievements of note. There is little or nothing reliable to sustain a biographical article to encyclopaedic standards, and I doubt there ever will be. The only news hits are for the cayman footballer.

• Delete game show contestants are not inherently notable. No assertion of notability. Resolute 04:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
