Not notable, stub, unsourced BLP. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Unsourced BLP? Should have been WP:BLPPROD. Adam9007 (talk) 00:09, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I recognized the name and found a VERY large number of articles focusing on her. I think the the subject matter deserves an article but the article needs heavy clean-up. Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * However it might be WP:BLP1E, so not sure. Mr. Magoo (talk) 01:32, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable individual. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 16:18, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Extreme media attention, but article needs substantial clean up.  { [ ( jjj     1238 ) ] }   20:49, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Individuals who are not 18 should have to pass very good hurdles because we should be extra vigilant in protecting the privacy of minors. An article that has one sentance that does not even give a reason the subject would be at all notable does not pass that criteria. Not all contestants on America's Got Talent are default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:25, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable. Maybe we can revisit this if she wins the competition. Adamtt9 (talk) 13:16, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete TOOSOON. raises a very good point, as does .  We have an essay for reality show contestants (REALITYTV) that points to BLP1E, and she does not meet it.  There is nothing else she is known for.  All of that is not say she's not talented, because she is--awesomely! However we have guidelines for a reason.  One is to protect minors. Even with the admittedly good sources added, it is still BLP1E. John from Idegon (talk) 19:33, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment She could easily continue to get attention for her talent in other forums, and then we would gain the sustained coverage to justify an article. However we cannot assume that the sustained coverage will exist before it actually does.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Can I suggest a redirect to America's Got Talent (season 11)? That is about what the article currently contains, and it would provide more context. --Ettrig (talk) 07:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
