Non-notable singer - participation in a reality show is not enough. Does not meet WP:GNG. Peter Rehse (talk) 17:28, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, and as PRehse suggests, salt due to disruptive editing. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth sourcing to show they meet WP:GNG, and they definitely don't meet WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:58, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, then redirect to X Factor (Denmark season 9) and salt the redirect. I have searched for sources, but subject currently fails WP:GNG/WP:BASIC and does not qualify under WP:MUSICBIO. The title has been redirected multiple times to X Factor (Denmark season 9), but the article has been resurrected by various users. As subject's name is a plausible search term, and as redirects are cheap, redirecting as a categorized R to related topic (or do we have a better rcat template for this case?) is a valid solution per WP:WINNEROUTCOMES. Salting the title is warranted due to the repeated resurrection. Closing admin should consider also salting the former title and now a redirect Alex (X Factor Denmark singer) as this has previously been hijacked, and retarget it to X Factor (Denmark season 9). Alex (Danish singer), another former title, should be watchlisted if not preemptively salted. Sam Sailor 15:07, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Note to closer - might want to consider salting the article as well, in light of the continued vandalism and disruptive editing on the article.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:46, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
