Not notable. Cannot qualify as notable under WP:MUSIC, she is covered in List_of_The_X_Factor_finalists_(UK_series_11)#Lauren_Platt, is this not enough? LiamJFriel (talk) 11:47, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.

Please keep this it's got a reference and there is news comeing everydayA Candela (talk) 15:59, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Piles of news articles come up immediately when googling, and so fills point one of WP:Music; Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. X Factor UK is ongoing I will note, so more coverage can be expected every day. JTdale ^Talk 15:46, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So by this rationale every reality TV contestant is entitled to a separate Wikipedia page? What is more notable about this particular contestant than any other? LiamJFriel (talk) 08:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the mainstream media sees it fit to obsess so much over each candidate, then probably yes. They may fall afoul of WP:BLP1E but that states If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual' and given the programs purpose is to create music stars, that is arguably not expected here.

Keep. While fame can be debatable there is little doubt that the contestants in this type of show receive considerable coverage. Possibly should be deleted in future if that success/ exposure is not maintained. WP:Music; Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. X Factor UK is ongoing I will note, so more coverage can be expected every day. thesocialpro ^Talk 18:04, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We do not generally have articles on X-Factor contestants until they win or release a significant single or album. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - she can have her own article if she wins or/and releases material. Unreal7 (talk) 20:52, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why should that be a requirement? WP:GNG simply states reliable, independent coverage. Any view other than that then is outside the regulations and going above them. We have thousands of stubs about athletes who won a bronze medal at the Olympics once, or even worse - played for a national football team for a few years. There is a lot more material on X Factor finalists than there ever will be on minor sports personalities. JTdale ^Talk 11:32, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are no regulations on Wikipedia. There is only opinion! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment - Lauren is no more notable than any of the other 15 acts who made the live shows, so either everyone gets an article or nobody does. Unreal7 (talk) 13:21, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Lauren is hardly notable aside from her involvement in the series; and to Unreal7, that kind of statement above is hardly an argument to be made. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 18:50, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The name crops up in the tabloid media, routine coverage for a contestant on the X-Factor. The coverage appears to be generally trivial and refer to the subject solely in the context of a single television show (i.e., a violation of GNG).
