Alexis Jordan (singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. I do not believe that this singer meets WP:MUSIC. Her first claim to notability is that she participated in American Idol, but she did not reach the finals which means she doesn't meet WP:MUSIC criterion 9. The second claim is that she is signed with a notable record label, but as she has not released more than one single so far, she does not meet criterion 5. As for coverage in published works (criterion 1), there are a number of Google hits about her being signed up for Roc Music, but I can't see that any of them meet WP:RS, and almost all of them have extremely similar phrasing, so are probably copies or slight rephrasings of her press releases. May be notable in future but not now. bonadea contributions talk 06:11, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

 * which is about Jordan's single. Songs or recordings by notable artists can be in themselves notable, but this is not. Very little coverage of it that I can find, and the only secondary source in the article is a rather short review on djbooth.net. --bonadea contributions talk 06:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
