• Weak keep - he finished third in the Slovak equivalent of American Idol. Top ten finishers in the American version get articles, so I'd argue that the same is true of the same positions in other countries. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 01:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Has a record release from a major label, but I reject the conclusion that top 10 finishers on American Idol (and its clones) automatically confers notability. Granted, most of them have received considerable media attention and/or record deals, but being on a game show alone does not confer notability in any way. Irongargoyle 03:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Change vote per other Slovak idol deletion discussion here. Irongargoyle 13:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per BigHaz Jcuk 18:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep I'd rather have the more obscure American Idols contestants also out of Wikipedia but consensus is for them to stay and I do not see why slovak ones should be any different. Pascal.Tesson 20:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep Though I have some doubts about the Slovaks. The lady who came second claims on her website that she would like to sing professionally. Er, so she is not and it is not what is supposed to happen when she graduates from school? And Tomas here does not seem to look at the first page of his website a lot (anymore?), there is someone there using it to offer special services and the ads on his page are doubtful too. But they have a contract, and they were 2nd and third, so I guess what is sauce for the goose ...--Pan Gerwazy 22:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep BigHaz makes the good point that rules for notability ought to be similar across countries. I don't know a thing about Slovak singers or TV shows, but that's not a reason for me to oppose this article. This guy isn't very important, even in Slovakia, but Wikipedia with 1 million + articles has plenty of room even for those who fail to win Idol competitions on TV.

• keep per Pascal.Tesson. --mathewguiver 13:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, unless we're going to delete all the articles on people from the English language versions.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
