Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Notability (people), which says: "People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in  that are,  of each other, and .If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability." Sources    The article notes: "As "American Idol" prepares to kick off another season next month, Naperville residents may grow nostalgic for "their" idol - Gina Glocksen. Fortunately, within the next few months, anyone who misses hearing Glocksen sing will have plenty of opportunities to do so. She is releasing her first album in the coming weeks, touring in a holiday concert coming to the area and also performing in local venues with the Gina Glocksen Band."  The article notes: " Gina Glocksen can afford to be selective about the gigs she takes, but it's hard for her to turn down requests from kids. ... The Naperville resident is best known as the ninth place finalist from season six of "American Idol." Since then, she's kept her calendar full with concerts and songwriting sessions. She's frustrated her debut CD isn't on the market already, but a series of setbacks has pushed the date back. She doesn't have a record label representing her; she's putting it out herself."  The article notes: "Glocksen appeared two seasons on “American Idol.” In the fifth season, she didn’t make it past the top 24. The following season, she finished in ninth place. But it was enough for her to quit her day job as a dental assistant and become a full-time rock and roller. ... Glocksen, who fronts her own band, the Gina Glocksen Band, gets to pick and choose shows such as “Ballroom with a Twist.”" <li> The article notes: "A year ago, Gina Glocksen knew about five people in Naperville. On Wednesday, in front of a thousand screaming fans, the "American Idol" finalist was awarded a key to the city at North Central College's Pfeiffer Hall. Mayor George Pradel proclaimed a citywide holiday: Gina Glocksen Day. She called the city her second home. ... But her stay in the western suburb might come to an end soon, Glocksen said. She plans to move to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career after she finishes the "American Idol" Summer Tour, which is slated for the beginning of July."</li> <li> The article notes: "More than 1,000 of Gina Glocksen's adoring Naperville fans packed North Central College's 1,050-seat auditorium Wednesday as the city threw the booted "American Idol" contestant and Naperville woman a homecoming celebration. ... After Glocksen spoke to the audience and answered questions, Mayor George Pradel presented the Naperville star with a plaque declaring April 11 Gina Glocksen Day in Naperville."</li> <li> The article notes: "About a year ago, Glocksen was auditioning for "American Idol" for the third time and working at a dental office in Worth, stopping at her mom's house frequently for dinner and calling her at least twice a day. Now she spends her days having professionals do her hair and makeup and her nights performing for upwards of 10,000 screaming fans, squeezing in time when she can to text-message family and friends."</li> <li> The article notes: "Oswego resident Gina Glocksen, who lived in Naperville and Tinley Park, continues to make music with a self-titled band formed following her ninth-place finish during Season 6. "Since 'Idol' I've been doing the best I can to balance music and family," Glocksen said. "I'm a mom, I have the band and I also sing with a ballroom show." Glocksen is part of 'Ballroom With a Twist,' a national touring troupe that features "American Idol" finalists who sing while professional dancers from "Dancing With the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance" jump, jive and jitterbug onstage. ... Glocksen and her husband have one child. The Gina Glocksen Band will be performing April 15 in Woodridge and April 23 in Elgin."</li> <li> The article notes: "Like fellow season six contestant Blake Lewis, her taste in music runs from pop stars like Celine Dion to less typical fare like U2, Green Day, and KT Tunstall. A dental assistant by day, Glocksen was also a member of the all-female band Catfight before heading off to American Idol."</li> <li> The article notes: "Gina Glocksen has her own little idol! The American Idol alum welcomed her first child with husband Joe Ruzicka on Thursday, July 10, PEOPLE confirms. ... It’s been a month full of celebration for Glocksen, who now performs with Ballroom with a Twist — her birthday was on July 4, two days after her official due date."</li> <li> The article notes: "Glocksen takes the stage last. Now married and living in Oswego as Gina Glocksen-Ruzicka with her husband and Neuqua Valley teacher Joe Ruzicka, she's currently touring with the show "Ballroom with a Twist""</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Gina Glocksen to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep in view of the multiple reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion such as The Chicago Tribune and The Daily Herald that together shows significant coverage for a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:06, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: My original nomination of this article was based on my interpretation of the criteria at WP:NSINGER. Reading the following - "Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable." - it would be appropriate to redirect this article to appropriate season of American Idol, which is what I probably should have done in the first place.

 * Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO. The above source eval clearly shows the sources are brief mentions in promo and brief routine news mentions, nothing that meets SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth from IS RS. The above eval involved a complete BEFORE so I doubt anything else will be found. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  17:53, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I disagree with the above comment that "nothing...meets SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth". Several of the sources provided above do address the subject "directly and in-depth", and there are many more sources that could likely be found. --Jpcase (talk) 21:10, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
