[edit] Danielle Foote

Danielle Foote (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Underneath the Radar (Danielle Foote's Single) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable reality TV contestant. Unreferenced. The only claims to notability were to release a single (also nominated) which barely made it on the charts at Australia (peaked at #41) and appearing on the cover of a relatively new men's magazine. Fails WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. MER-C 06:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

  • neutral/delete - I don't see the Danielle Foote article to be a problem article which attracts vandalism or multiple fancruft ravings, so despite very slender claims to fame I see no strong reasons why it really needs to be deleted. Its reasonably well laid out. The single was released and performed on TV. I recall no other Aust BB contestant to launch a singing career from their appearance on the show. The second article Underneath the Radar (Danielle Foote's Single) is unneccesary, and if the first article survives, is completely redundant and should be deleted. Asa01 06:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep BB seems to be fairly notable. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 22:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, BB contestants are not (necessarily) notable, but a single on the Aussie charts (whether "barely" or not) is very definitely enough to qualify under WP:MUSIC, point #2, "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country". Normally, I'm all in favor of deleting reality-tv-cruft, but this seems to be a rare case where actual notability has been achieved. Xtifr tälk 22:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Addendum (doesn't necessarily apply to those who say "per Xtifr") Delete the single per Capitalistroadster, since there's already an article about the song which mentions this particular version, making the new article redundant. Xtifr tälk 16:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Xtifr. Appears quite Notable (and attractive).--aviper2k7 22:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep singer delete single. Danielle Foote made the Australian charts with "Underneath the Radar". The song is the titletrack of the first Underworld album. That song was a top ten hit for Underworld in Australia. The Underneath the Radar article already mentions Foote's version. If we have a article on the song "Underneath the Radar" it should be based on the Underworld version. Capitalistroadster 01:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment maybe the single should be redirected, then. (No strong feelings either way on my part.) Xtifr tälk 02:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
It's not really that useful a search term, though. MER-C 13:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 01:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn game show contestant. Her single hasn't even broken the Top 40, so I'd hesitate to label it a "hit", and she didn't really win the game either. No real notability as far as I can see. Lankiveil 10:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Keep Noted singer, on BB, charted single. --Oakshade 08:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep bio, delete single - I don't care too much about the reality TV aspect, but I agree with Xtifr that she meets the WP:MUSIC standard. Not much point of the separate article regarding her single, though. Quack 688 08:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep both. She was notable before the single came out, and the single itself charted. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep the article about her because she is becoming notable for things outseide of BB. Otherwise she would not deserve an article. Merge the single article because very little is being said about it to warrant it's own page. The JPStalk to me 21:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge -- anything useful into Big_Brother_Australia#Notable_former_contestants. -- Longhair\talk 11:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep She is notable as a pop star, and meets WP:MUSIC criteria. --SunStar Nettalk 21:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep bio, delete single per Quack.--cj | talk 17:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
