[edit] Danny Noriega

Danny Noriega (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This individual failed to make it to the finals of American Idol, the reality show he is known for. Any notability obtained through sourcing is a staunch case of Recentism. How exactly is this individual notable? If he had a recording contract elsewhere, I might be able to see some notability, but I don't. I redirected it but that's been contested, hence me sending it here. Wizardman 00:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirect back, since he isn't known for anything other than American Idol and isn't highly known in the media either. More is needed to warrant the article. (BTW I created the redirect but not the article) CrazyC83 (talk) 00:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Alright. I support a redirect as well, but am putting it here due to reverts back and forth by different people. Wizardman 00:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
If that's the case, then Josiah Leming's page should be deleted as well, as he didn't make it into the top 24 and he hasn't had any record deals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.179.160 (talk) 00:56, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I agree there, although he does have some pre-Idol recordings - that is not nearly enough for notability, especially considering he wasn't even in the top 24. CrazyC83 (talk) 02:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, a discussion whether to redirect the article or not belongs on Talk:Danny Noriega, not AFD. --Pixelface (talk) 01:24, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
    • A discussion there would naturally be seen more likely by people who want the article up, leading to the consensus being skewed. Wizardman 03:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
      • I can see that. So you want this article deleted and then turned into a redirect and protected? It's a likely search term. The page was viewed over 5,000 times in February[1] and over 12,000 times in March[2]. --Pixelface (talk) 19:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect Certainly useful as a redirect, but doesn't come close to satisfying WP:BIO. faithless (speak) 03:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect -- Didn't even make Top 24. --MgCupcake (talk) 02:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Actually he made it into top 16 & he could in the future become a successful singer -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.181.84 (talk) 07:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes, he could, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. faithless (speak) 15:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Well, when he becomes a notable singer, he can have a Wikipedia entry. --MgCupcake (talk) 17:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirect until he has a recording contract. This version can be kept in the history and restored once he becomes famous for getting a record deal. ♥Shapiros10WuzHere♥ 22:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Redirect. We go through this EVERY year. He's not a finalist. So no page. Period. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 15:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect. Rules are clear: no Top 12 = no page. If he ever becomes famous outside of Idol/releases something of note, then knock yourselves out making a page. So far this article looks like a list of minutiae about his performances on the show. Merge any pertinent info into his bio paragraph in the Season 7 article.
