- This nomination was not listed (step 3) in the daily log. It has now been listed. –Black Falcon (Talk) 19:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "hit #5 on idolwaves.com a site that charts radio play of material put out by American Idol Alumni." Idolwaves obviously falls under WP:BADCHARTS. If he actually appeared on the show rather than the audition rounds, he should be
redirected, otherwise deleted. - Mgm|(talk) 23:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Says in the article that he actually appeared in the 4th season, not merely auditioned for it. Mathmo Talk 01:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Since auditions for these shows are televised, "appeared in" isn't sufficiently clear to establish things. We'd need to know what rounds he appeared in. - Mgm|(talk) 07:42, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, if what I said above holds to be true. Mathmo Talk 01:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete On further inspection: According to this page he was rejected in an earlier audition and made it past that round in American Idol (season 4). Still, he hasn't made the semi-finals or finals according to our own article, so he didn't "place in a major music competition" nor does he meet other music inclusion criteria. The sources are insufficiently reliable to meet WP:GNG. - Mgm|(talk) 07:50, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: no awards, no charts, insufficient independent 3rd party coverage, non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete G4, title recreated per American Idol hopefuls in redirects for discussion. ApprenticeFan talk contribs 12:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
