[edit] Dionne Mitchell

Dionne Mitchell (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

10th-place contestant on a reality TV show. Nothing in the article suggests she's notable enough for her own article. I suggest delete or redirect to The X Factor UK and Ireland series 3. ... discospinster talk 03:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Redirect Her only claim to (minor) notability is appearing on The X Factor UK and Ireland series 3, and she's already adequately covered in that article. Saikokira 06:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Open I think the page should remain open because many other X Factor contenders have their own pages people who also have little fame after X Factor and they include Maria Lawson, Brenda Edwards and Chico Slimani. The article also goes into much more detail than the original page does and provides people who are interested with what she is doing after X Factor, her time on X Factor and has many outside wiki features as well for Dionne fans to access. By FEEFOO (I apologise- I don't know how to attach a hyperlink to my username.)
  • Maria Lawson released an album and has had a UK top 20 single, Brenda Edwards has been starring in the West End version of Chicago for some time, and Chico has had a UK #1 single and is nationally famous, so they've all enjoyed considerable success. According to this article the only thing Dionne Mitchell has done since appearing on X Factor is "talking with a management company about future projects", which isn't enough to warrant a seperate article.

  • "provides people who are interested with what she is doing after X Factor".....which doesn't seem to be a whole lot, to be honest. As it stands she has no notability outside having appeared on a reality show, which is not deemed sufficient for an article per a million other AfDs, so Delete. I have no problem with the article being recreated should she ever achieve anything of note in the music business. As it stands, though, she hasn't..... ChrisTheDude 10:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Wait - there is a lot of discussion about whether reality TV contestants are notable, so I suggest we wait and see the outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Idol contestants before we decide whether to delete this. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 19:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Why should this article be treated any diffrently then any other minor character on a TV show? Is it because she's a real person? What difference does that make when her only notability stems from the TV show? Anyway... Delete for failure to pass WP:BIO, etc. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 20:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
