At this point, I don't think she is notable enough to warrant the article. If she makes it to at least the top 36, then at least redirect, but for now, delete. CrazyC83 (talk) 00:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC) 1. Any person is entitled to a wikipedia page, noteworthy in YOUR OPINION or not. 2. The fact that she has appeared on and made it to the 2nd round of this highest rated of TV events is noteworthy. 3. the fact that you all have heard about her enough to come looking for her to delete, means she has been visible and could be considered noteworthy. 4. Wikipedia rules clearly have guidelines for "people who are relatively unknown" and "who are notable for only one event"... all indicating that we are allowed to maintain a wikipedia entry for Casey even if people might consider her relatively unknown, noteworthy, etc... There are no rules that I see prohibiting entries for anyone who is considered not noteworthy or the like — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.246.2.30 (talk • contribs) 17:09, January 21, 2009
 * Additional comment: If the article is kept or redirected, should it go to Casey Carlson (singer)? There are several articles pointing to a Peanuts voice actor with the name Casey Carlson, but that was a red link. CrazyC83 (talk) 00:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. American Idol does not make someone notable. Wait to see if they ever warrant notability. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 04:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The guideline you cite (WP:ONEVENT) states that "Coverage in reliable sources may at times be extensive nd may expand upon the person's background, but information on the person should generally be included in the article on the event itself, unless the information is so large that this would make the article unwieldy or sources have written primarily about the person, and only secondarily about the event." Casey Carlson certainly won't meet this unless she gets on to the American Idol finals, which is not guaranteed. The Wikipedia guideline on notability clearly does prohibit articles on those who are not noteworthy. Bart133 t c @ How's my driving? 00:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete- there are no sources and no convincing assertion of notability (merely appearing on a game show doesn't cut it). Reyk  YO!  19:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
