 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced article about a musician, whose only substantive claim of notability is having been a non-winning contestant on a reality show. As always, this is not a claim of notability in and of itself -- a non-winning contestant can still get a Wikipedia article by actually passing WP:NMUSIC, but is not handed an automatic inclusion freebie just for being on a reality show per se. But there's no claim to passing NMUSIC here, and no strong reliable source coverage to carry it: the referencing is entirely to primary sources, social media, podcasts and unreliable blogs, except for a single reliable source which contains no information about the subject at all, but rather is here to support the tangential fact that Nashville is called the country music capital of the world -- which is entirely irrelevant to Wakefield's notability. As always, no prejudice against recreation if and when his notability claim and sourceability actually clear the bar, but nothing here is enough as of right now -- we are not a promotional platform for aspiring future stars, but an encyclopedia about those who've already made it.

 * Redirect to The Voice (U.S. season 10) See above comment. 71.187.6.198 (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to The Voice (U.S. season 10) He was the runner-up for season 10 but may be too soon to write an article about him until he reaches Clay Aiken status. Recommend redirect as above to the appropriate season unless someone wants to incubate this in Draft with some more sources.   AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 22:09, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect this is WP:TOOSOON for a stand-alone article based on his music career. The history will be retained in case he becomes more notable in the future. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 18:57, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
