This non-notable American Idol contestant that did not even reach the semi-finals of American Idol (season 11) fails WP:MUSICBIO. Most of the sources in the article consist of videos of her performances in the audition/Hollywood phases of the show. Aspects (talk) 18:23, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Her performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show surely gave her notability; many fans were raving that she was "amazing" and "unjustly cut." Perhaps the article isn't appropriate for Wikipedia right now, unless she makes another comeback.  Creativity 97  (Talk)  22:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - generally, participants in reality TV shows only get their own WP article if they become notable in their own right outside of the show. In the meantime, a listing in the American Idol season 11 article should be sufficient. Sionk (talk) 23:55, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * All right, I suppose a mention in the American Idol (season 11) page would be sufficient as well. Delete if that's what the consensus comes to.  Creativity 97  (Talk)  15:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to American Idol (season 11). Stuartyeates (talk) 08:46, 10 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge—I'm honestly surprised that there is not more coverage about her, considering the apparent outrage at her getting cut... you would think the Ellen appearance would lead to some press, but it hasn't. I found one feature article in her home town newspaper... and that was it. Merge it, redirect it, and someone can re-fork it later if she becomes more notable.

 * Merge as per above. I think WP:USUAL comes into play as well, here - she's in the early days of what might end up being a promising career. If she were to end up with a hit single or album, an article might be appropriate. Not yet, though. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 12:20, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have no problem with a merger here, but I don't want this to be a precedent. Some people have been cut early from Idol, yet have gone on to notable careers. Bearian (talk) 15:54, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
