[edit] Josh Logan

Doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC and reads a bit like WP:VAIN. -- Koffieyahoo 05:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. All American Idol contestants have articles. Plus, this isn't a stub. íslenska hurikein #12 _(samtal) 12:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. As noted, there's ample precedent for reality contestants having articles here. It would certainly make the main entry for Supernova way too long to incorporate them all there.--Chetfarmer 13:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. WP:MUSIC lists placing in a major music competition as a notability criteria. Last I checked, Rock Star: Supernova is a major music competition. Kirjtc2 14:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep but Remove POV - Most or all of the show contestants have articles. If this one goes the others should also be reviewed. If it is kept, the article should have some rewrite done to remove POV/fluff, such as the paragraph:

"Playing nightly at local venues for two years as a solo artist, hosting open mic nights as well as performing three sets in just one evening to both packed and empty venues, Logan honed his skills as a solo musician. Over the years it has given his music room to breath. His music follows its own path with deep direction and soulful lyrics. Never losing touch with what commercial radio feels to be "listener-friendly."

Keep. Josh Logan is a notable person, he was a contestant in Rock Star: Supernova. That means that if some fan of Rock Star: Supernova wants to know more about Josh Logan, he can visit this article. We should be trying to improve wikipedia, not deleting information about people that some might find interest in ... and I do belive that Josh has a few fans all over the world. - Kuckzul 03:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Josh Logan is clearly a notable person, who appeared on a nationally viewed reality TV show. The deletion attempt seems overzealous and perhaps a bit misguided. The recent revisions were appropriate and improved upon the original article, which I created. Let's stop trying to delete legitimate articles. - Nhprman ^List 17:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep. The reason it is being considered for deletion is because it was claimed that it "does not meet WP:MUSIC" but as Kirjtc2 commented it does due to "placing in a major music competition as a notability criteria." All other reasons aside, THIS is the reason why the article should remain. Mike 00:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment Well, the problem is that I wouldn't call an American TV show a major music competition. It's not the Liszt Concours or something (which doesn't even have an article btw). -- Koffieyahoo 02:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
