Statistical analysis required.[edit]

Assuming this isn't a joke article, what is needed here is a proper statistical analysis of all the criticism, rather than all the anecdote in the article. I'm sure a few social science PhDs could be pulled out of the hat by (for instance) analysing whether or not the number of deadlocks is statistically significant enough to declare the program a fix. LoL, maybe the daily mail would even fund some such research judging by the vitriol they like to heap on the program.1812ahill (talk) 22:14, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rhythmix[edit]

I wonder if it would be appropriate to include a section (or at least a paragraph) in this article about the girl group that were forced to change their name in series eight. They were initially known as Rhythmix but had to change their name to the present Little Mix after it was discovered that there was an existing music charity organisation called Rhythmix. From what I know this is indeed the most notable case in which an act has been forced to change their name in The X Factor (UK) history. MasterMind5991 (talk) 11:48, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion[edit]

Please note that for something to be notably controversial, reliable sources (e.g.: professional critics) need to indicate that it's controversial. It can't just be a disgruntled former contestant or their fans. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:24, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
