[edit] Sideswipe (performers)

Sideswipe (performers) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is one in a series of articles speedy deleted as CSD A7, regarding an entrant in the TV show America's Got Talent. DRV overturned these deletions, finding an appearance on the show constituted an assertion of notability. I considered a group listing for all of these, but decided that each entrant might have a different degree of press coverage, and have so listed separately. The argument for deletion is a failure to meet WP:BIO. Xoloz 05:10, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, no apparent notability outside reality show context, not a finalist. --Dhartung | Talk 05:18, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. For notability, the issue really is, what is the threshold on America's Got Talent for notability? Ton ten? Top Four? For me, I think that top ten is enough to be considered notable. Others obviously disagree. For sourcing, I plan to, before the end of the day, source all three of these AGT top-ten that DRV just returned. I will add to them performance data, fully sourced from the NBC web site. - TexasAndroid 11:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete failed to become a finalist, other than an appearance on AGT has no notability. This should be deleted and turned into a redirect to America's Got Talent.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 22:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but add references - In my humble opinion, I believe that making into both seasons and doing so well in this latest season, Sideswipe is a notable enough group to have their own article on Wikipedia. However, the article could use more references. TheInfinityZero 19:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Sideswipe was in both seasons and made the top 8. I don't think there's a problem with notability. However, the article could use some work. Useight 23:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
