• Delete Fails to meet WP:BIO that I can see. 5 minutes of fame isn't notable. - Denny 05:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• DO NOT DELETE Other contestants who were voted off of American Idol have articles, so why not Rachel Zevita who has already accomplished more than most musicians and is on her way to being very successful. At least give her some time. Is it a requirement that an artist be famous to have an article on Wikipedia? She is obviously notable by that fact that her fans keep reposting for her and do not want her deleted. If Wikipedia is only a place where people can come to look up information on people they already know everything about, then what is the point of it all anyways?'Moellering2007'— Moellering2007 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • The fact that a person is voted off American Idol does not automatically guarantee them an article. The existence of other articles on people who've been voted off may simply mean that we haven't gotten around to deleting them yet; this article just coincidentally got nominated for deletion earlier than them.
  • "Is it a requirement that an artist be famous to have an article on Wikipedia?" - In a word: Yes. In many words: look here.
  • "She is obviously notable by that fact that her fans keep reposting for her and do not want her deleted" - The fact that a page keeps getting reposted does not mean a thing. Some automated programs post spam pages many times over as well; and last I saw there was a page filled with nonsense on the number pi that was created no less than four nine times. They don't want their spam/nonsense deleted either. How many times a page is created tells us absolutely nothing about its encyclopedic worth.
  • "Wikipedia is only a place where people can come to look up information on people they already know everything about" - you're missing the point. Wikipedia doesn't discriminate on who gets included as long as they're all notable. Awyong J. M. Salleh 08:40, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. No achievements other than having been on the show. Even extras get paid, but I don't think she was. Without doubt, does not pass any criteria of WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. Ohconfucius 07:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
