Delete. After Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexis Grace (2nd nomination) saw a “delete” outcome, I feel that the time has come to determine which of the American Idol contestants truly deserve their own articles. WP:NOTINHERITED tells us that just because somebody appeared on American Idol, it doesn’t make them notable and worthy of an article. This fails WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. They’ve done nothing worthy of note since they appeared on American Idol. DJ 12:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

This sort of mass nomination is unproductive because it leads to people voting based on "I like it"/"I don't like it" since no one can reasonably be expected to properly research 38 articles of the same nature in a week. (Indeed this has already begun to happen.) Since the results of these AfDs are likely to be influenced by voting rather than a proper discussion, they should all be closed with no prejudice against reopening a few at a time after a good faith attempt to determine notability has been made. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Firstly, as I am British and have never seen a single episode of American Idol, I am not a bitter fan of Alexis Grace or any other participant. You need to read WP:GOODFAITH. Secondly, you keep saying if she releases something, if she becomes notable. We don't keep Wikipedia articles just in case the subject becomes notable. You need to read WP:CRYSTAL.

WP:NOTINHERITED tells us that just because somebody appeared on American Idol, it doesn’t make them notable and worthy of an article. This fails WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. They’ve done nothing worthy of note since they appeared on American Idol. DJ 11:50, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

WP:BIO states that they need multiple, reliable sources. And the fact that she finished third is irrelevant - it doesn't make her any more or less notable than if she came second, eleventh, fifth.... DJ 19:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
She had plenty of coverage while she was on the show, and shortly after she was eliminated: [4]. It does matter that she finished in third, because she was in the public eye longer than the other contestants. Zagalejo^^^ 19:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
The majority of the results you've just shown me are about her and her capacity within American Idol. All reality TV contestants recieve news coverage, even those who stay on the programme for just a few days (see Kenneth Tong - [5][6][7]). We need to use WP:COMMONSENSE in order to find the notable needles in this haystack that is American Idol on Wikipedia. Being in the "public eye" does not equal notability either, otherwise we'd have articles for every other Tom, Dick and Harry. DJ 19:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Still, she received a lot of attention for being on American Idol - at least tenfold what Kenneth Tong has received. Isn't that good enough? "Every other Tom, Dick and Harry" doesn't get the coverage she had. (By the way, I struck my comment about Alexis Grace. I didn't look closely at that link, and assumed the discussion was about Alexis Cohen.) Zagalejo^^^ 21:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:GOOGLEHITS aren't acceptable to detirmine notability. DJ 21:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
That's true, but the Google News results clearly show that she has been the primary subject of multiple news reports. Zagalejo^^^ 21:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Read my earlier paragraph. That doesn't automatically equal notability. DJ 21:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
What argument are referring to? NOTINHERITED? If so, I don't think that's relevant, since many of the articles spoke primarily about her, not American Idol in general. Zagalejo^^^ 21:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
No. The big paragraph in the middle. DJ 21:14, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

This sort of mass nomination is unproductive because it leads to people voting based on "I like it"/"I don't like it" since no one can reasonably be expected to properly research 38 articles of the same nature in a week.

WP:NOTINHERITED tells us that just because somebody appeared on American Idol, it doesn’t make them notable and worthy of an article. This fails WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. The subject has self-released and EP since his exit from the show, failing the aforementioned WP:MUSIC. DJ 08:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

This sort of mass nomination is unproductive because it leads to people voting based on "I like it"/"I don't like it" since no one can reasonably be expected to properly research 38 articles of the same nature in a week. (Indeed this has already begun to happen.) Since the results of these AfDs are likely to be influenced by voting rather than a proper discussion, they should all be closed with no prejudice against reopening a few at a time after a good faith attempt to determine notability has been made. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete. After Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexis Grace (2nd nomination) saw a “delete” outcome, I feel that the time has come to determine which of the American Idol contestants truly deserve their own articles. WP:NOTINHERITED tells us that just because somebody appeared on American Idol, it doesn’t make them notable and worthy of an article. This fails WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. The subject has done nothing of note since the programme and the article admits that: "her brief musical career...further success eluded her" DJ 08:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

People will definitely have sympathy for your having done a lot of work on an article and then for arbitrarily changing standards years later resulting in it being at AfD. But you will throw away that sympathy if you engage in rants about "censorship" and "nanny state". Wikipedia is its own organization and in its collective wisdom it can do whatever it likes about its website and content. If you don't like it you are free to start AmericanIdolpedia or Celebritypedia or whatever and do things your way. (And that has been done, see for example Memory Alpha the Star Trek Wiki which covers Star Trek in much more depth than Wikipedia is willing to.) If the U.S. government were trying to delete your articles then your "censorship" and "nanny state" complaints would be on target, but it isn't and you're not.
