[edit] Rhonetta Johnson

Tagged as nn-bio but this person is clearly of massive importanc,e, having almost got into a "reality" show. And she was rude to the Simon Cowell clone, so clearly not all bad. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 22:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• lots of other non high profile american idols have their own wilipedia page so i don't know why rhonetta can't have one. besides, she is being talked about by millions.Firefoxsilver9 05:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Anything useful can be merged into the Idol article, otherwise Delete as nn. --kingboyk 23:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Several other American Idol contestants have articles in wikipedia. There is no reason to delete this article. PMLF 00:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Several others have been deleted, including Emily Neves (someone jumped on her before she was quickly eliminated), Leroy Wells and Mary Roach (article is for someone else now, resurrecting would require the modifier "(American Idol contestant)"). A few others might have been deleted as well. However, I was opposed to all the deletions. CrazyC83 06:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - she (and everyone else) needs to be mentioned somewhere on Wikipedia, but does it really belong on this article? Creating a segment on a new article, i.e. American Idol (Season 5) Contestants, would do the trick. Many don't remember her by name so they'd have a hard time getting here. Keep if no new articles are created. CrazyC83 06:12, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Redirect to American Idol (Season 5), or a new page American Idol (Season 5) Contestants.

• Needs to be? I strongly dispute that. I see little if any encyclopaedic merit in lists of names of people who lacked the talent to be selected for a show which is, in the end, just a talent show anyway. In ten years time if the winners have made a name for themselves they can have an article. Why this pressing need to document every details of every TV show as it happens? Some parts of Wikipedia are turning into fan blogs. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 10:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, could be mentioned in American Idol Season 5, but I don't see a need for a redirect. Makemi 04:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Seems like no consensus... CrazyC83 22:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
