  • Observation - I'm happy to see this gone. But we've actually kept articles on American Idol participants - yet people are content to speedy delete Indonesian ones without even a debate. Geographic bias here?--Docg 18:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't follow American Idol, so I am not familiar with most of its participants. However, a number of contestants have gone on to significant careers (Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Stoddard, and Clay Aiken come to mind); they should have articles. One of the participants was disqualified after their felony record was revealed (don't remember who); that is probably notable. And I can see (maybe) having finalists listed. All the rest should go. Here, these five articles all dealt with people who finished no higher than fifth place on one season of Indonesian Idol, and none have apparently done anything notable since their time on the show.

How many people watch Indonesian Idol on a weekly basis? How many watch the number 1 rated show in the largest TV market in the world? Yes, it is a little American-centric, but American Idol is significantly more notable in and of itself than Indonesian Idol. American Idol also has an international element---it is watched in other countries than America. How many people outside of Indonesia even know they have an Idol knockoff? So it's not Geographical bias, it's notability bias.Balloonman 22:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
