[edit] Verity Keays

Individual does not appear to be notable outside of an 8th place finish on X-Factor. No other albums have been recorded no other Television appearances. I believe it Fails WP:BIO. DrunkenSmurf 01:27, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: Acording to the History, there was more meat on this at one time, but now it's just a bare shell. 8th place in a field of 10? Not even worth mentioning. --Dennette 03:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. 8th? Heh. RandyWang (^{chat me up}/_{fix me up}) 10:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: A G1 speedy and a reality show contestant. One assumes that the show already has her name mentioned? Toss in there "she sings" and you've about covered her. Geogre 12:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. I was Googling her name and I came upon Answers.com profile of her which was taken from Wikipedia. Apparently, the article ([1]) was written in much more context there (I guess someone just deleted most of the article and left it at what it is right now). I don't know if she'll be any more famous than she was in 2004, but she does have an album out, and someone could write about that. I would have voted to delete had I not seen this Answers.com bio taken from Wikipedia. --Nishkid64 18:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Something odd is going on there. My suspicion is that the original form (which got mirrored) was copyvio or something of the like, because it got chopped down (too much, I suppose) this month. No change in vote for me, as I still regard her as rather routine. Geogre 19:18, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Here. That's the article that is on Answers.com. However, on May 20, 2006, 81.151.222.11 vandalized the page as seen here. After that, no one noticed that a lot of information had been removed from the article, and so it stayed as a very short article until DrunkenSmurf tagged it for Afd. --Nishkid64 20:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
      • Before attaching the Afd I made sure to check the history of the article to make sure it had not been vandalized. Previous versions of the article state she recorded some type of album before the show, but there is no source for that that I can find. The prior version of the article did not establish notability and neither does the current version IMO. DrunkenSmurf 02:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. 50 year old voice coach from Grimsby who performed on a TV competition. 1100 Ghits, mostly Xfactor related or wiki mirror sites. Ohconfucius 02:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Per above. StuffOfInterest 19:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator. If her album(s) ever become successful we can write a new article. RFerreira 21:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per good research done above in checking out the sources of article changes as well as of notability. GBYork 15:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
