Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephanie Edwards (singer)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep for now. Closing logic is the same as that for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gina Glocksen and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haley Scarnato. I also suggest that google news hits be used to better source this. JoshuaZ 20:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stephanie Edwards (singer)

Delete. Another failed Reality TV contestant. Fails WP:BIO, WP:N etc. Was the second to be evicted from the most recent American Idol, she has done nothing noteable before or after his few appearences on the show. Hasn't, and isn't planning to, release any music so can't be classed as a singer or musician. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 18:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stephanie was seen by tens of millions of people, and many recognize the name. Simply because you do not know if she is planning to release an album does not mean that she won't. She is more of a celebrity than many other persons on here. I feel that being a contestant on one of the biggest televisions shows in history justifies her having an article. User:Jameseyx

Delete Not notable for anything other than TV show appearance, which I think violates WP:NOT#NEWS Corpx 04:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think we can judge that just yet. And if that's the criteria, then we need to delete most of the finalists' pages, not just for season 6. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 05:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Either keep or redirect to American Idol (season 6) (redirect slightly preferred). See my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haley Scarnato. TLK^'in 04:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Can we please stop this? Every few months, we get users who decide that we need to nuke as many AI articles as possible. I don't get it. The Idol Wikiproject states that all finalists get a page. We have pages for almost all of the other finalists no matter what position they finish in. This is one of many previous deletion votes on similar issues. The thing is. I make the same point I did back in February and March. Right now, these people are notable. In a year, if they haven't released anything or are no longer notable, then I say yes, let's remove the articles. But until then, this just feels a bit premature. I mean. Folks. 10 of the finalists are currently on tour and selling out or selling well at many arenas. That feels pretty notable to me. I'm tired of doing this every 3-4 months. And how do we know what she'll release? And they can't even sign with labels until November, so it's impossible to know what they will or won't do. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 05:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A low-importance Wikiproject is not a policy, guideline or important. You claim that their noteabliltiy may expire in a year, so we should keep the articles until then. That breaks WP:N#Notability_is_not_temporary. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 10:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, she is notable for being a finalist on American Idol. --musicpvm 08:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being a contestant on a Reality TV series does not make one noteable, see WP:BIO and WP:N. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 10:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
