[edit] The Glamazons (US)

The Glamazons (US) (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 05:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, no apparent notability outside reality show, not a finalist. --Dhartung | Talk 05:17, 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 Notability threshold is not numeric; it's a matter of non-trivial coverage from reliable published sources which are independent of the subject. Google News archive search for "glamazons" + "got talent" returns zero hits. Google web search returns an abundance of blogs, YouTube, MySpace, trivial mentions in entertainment and fan-sites, and one possibly significant article from the Globe Gazette, a low-circulation Iowa daily. It's something, but I do not believe that one article which was in all likelihood a direct replication of press-release or media-kit information is enough to salvage notability.

I'm sorry, but the fact that The Glamazons (US), Sideswipe (performers), and The Duttons were put through CSD/DRV/AFD while Julienne Irwin, Butterscotch (performer), and Cas Haley were not makes it obvious that the placing is indeed in play. Those that made the finals/top four are safe, and those that did not make it that far are not. So the placing is definitely in play, and thus I argue that, IMHO, making the top ten is enough for notability. Thus the talk of this being a threshold issue. - TexasAndroid 11:29, 28 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)
I do not see the point of a redirect. a listing in he article is enough, and google will find it. DGG (talk) 00:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
