[edit] Vanessa Jean Dedmon

This article was deleted at its earlier AfD because the subject, contestant from the German Idol-clone, had no released recordings; A DRV consensus overturned, given the recent release of her first. See the DRV for additional details. This is a procedural nomination, so I abstain. Xoloz 13:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep — per WP:NOT _→AzaToth 13:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Explain, please? How does one speedy keep per WP:NOT? Xoloz 14:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Per "Wikipedia is not a Bureaucracy" _→AzaToth 14:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

If an article comes out of DRV with a relisting, consensus was narrow -- less than 80% (approx.); therefore, opposition can be expected, and speedy keeps are kinda nutty. Indeed, Zoe argues below that your vote is invalid, and I cannot disagree. Xoloz 15:07, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

• Conditional keep - has her recording hit the charts yet? Else she's yet another non-notable reality TV reject. MER-C 13:57, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as recreation of previously deleted content, nothing new that indicates she has notability. AzaToth's !vote is invalid as it does not address this situation but merely states a generic comment which can be easily disproven. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I undeleted the article so that it could be edited to add the new information on her notability, based on a request to do so on DRV. Perhaps, instead of voting to speedy delete, you could just go add the information posted above? Phil Sandifer 18:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Perhaps I could, but why should I, when I disagree that she's notable? User:Zoe|(talk) 01:36, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete because of the last.fm stats: Vanessa Jean Dedmon has 95 fans, while Kelly Clarkson (American Idol graduate) has 167,301 fans. The article does not assert her notability or her passing of WP:MUSIC. Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 01:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep charting musicians per WP:MUSIC, and reality contestents, especially finalists, should get articles. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy keep per WP:MUSIC. Her debut single will be listed in the official German single charts at #17 from this Friday on (see: Musikwoche). -- Citius 15:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, speedy or slow. During the last AfD, she hadn't met WP:MUSIC yet, so the article was rightfully deleted. She now meets WP:MUSIC (a charted hit in at least one large or medium-sized country), so this time the article should be kept.

  • Actually, according to Citius, she won't have charted until Friday. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
    • To be more precise: the charts with Dedmon entering at #17 are already availiable, only the official publication date is Friday -- Citius 15:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
    • So we should delete and then recreate in 48 hours? Phil Sandifer 18:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, we also add artists to the Hot 100 number-one hits of 2006 (USA) as soon as the information is availiable, i.e. ten days before the official publication date. -- Citius 23:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, as per Toth. Smeelgova 04:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC).
