Serial contestant on Britain's Got Talent but no individual notability. Trivial coverage in a national newspaper website, again related only to BGT. Created by an editor repeatedly blocked for creating such articles; creating this was their first action on emerging from their latest block. I42 (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the band he's in isn't even notable. Anemone Projectors 12:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no notability independent of BGT & even there he didn't get though to the live shows. Nancy ^talk 12:53, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The issue isn't whether he has any talent nor whether people feel his media attention is deserved. The only question is whether he receives significant coverage from reliable third party sources. WP:Notability Hello: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Under the guidelines subjects who receive significant press coverage are notable even when they receive the coverage as a result of failure, losing elections or declaring bankruptcy. Notability attaches solely as a result of the coverage. Eudemis (talk) 14:00, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, all of those references concern Britain's Got Talent; it is that which is notable, not this contestant.The guideline is to cover the event, not the individual. I42 (talk) 20:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He's not being mentioned in articles about an event; the articles are about Harry. For notability, "sources address the subject directly." WP:Notability You can't read these articles and say they are about Britain's Got Talent. Eudemis (talk) 16:24, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Useless popular culture fluff article, but there are plenty of those on Wikipedia. Subject seems over the accepted notability bar and the article is well enough written. Carrite (talk) 16:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. Coverage does not appear to be in-depth.--Pink Bull 03:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If they are notable only for participation in one event than BLP1E applies, which as a policy trumps N. Spartaz ^Humbug! 05:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
