Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brandon Rogers (singer)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep for now. Closing logic is the same as that for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gina Glocksen and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haley Scarnato. I also suggest that google news hits be used to better source this. JoshuaZ 21:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brandon Rogers (singer)

Brandon Rogers (singer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete. Another failed Reality TV contestant. Fails WP:BIO, WP:N etc. Was the first to be evicted from the most recent American Idol, he has done nothing noteable before or after his few appearences on the show. Hasn't, and isn't planning to, release any music so can't be classed as a singer or musician. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 18:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete does not have the notability as a singer and the claim to notability is teh appearance on a TV show, which I think would fall under WP:NOT#NEWS Corpx 04:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete NN. --PEAR (talk) 10:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Either keep or redirect to American Idol (season 6) (redirect slightly preferred). See my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haley Scarnato. TLK^'in 04:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Can we please stop this? Every few months, we get users who decide that we need to nuke as many AI articles as possible. I don't get it. The Idol Wikiproject states that all finalists get a page. We have pages for almost all of the other finalists no matter what position they finish in. This is one of many previous deletion votes on similar issues. The thing is. I make the same point I did back in February and March. Right now, these people are notable. In a year, if they haven't released anything or are no longer notable, then I say yes, let's remove the articles. But until then, this just feels a bit premature. I mean. Folks. 10 of the finalists are currently on tour and selling out or selling well at many arenas. That feels pretty notable to me. I'm tired of doing this every 3-4 months. And sorry but...not planning on releasing anything? Do you know him? :) The thing is, they can't even sign a deal until November unless they are the winner or runner up. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 05:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• A low-importance Wikiproject is not a policy, guideline or important. You claim that their noteabliltiy may expire in a year, so we should keep the articles until then. That breaks WP:N#Notability_is_not_temporary. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 10:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

See WP:NOTAGAIN. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 10:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, he is notable for being an American Idol finalist. --musicpvm 08:27, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• Being a contestant on a Reality TV series does not make one noteable, see WP:BIO and WP:N. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 10:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

• If this wasn't the #1 rated show in the biggest media market in the world, I'd agree. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 01:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
