Leona Lewis on The X Factor
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete. This is an entire article full of trivial infomation about one person's role as a contestant in a Reality TV show. All of this infomation is included in Leona Lewis, The X Factor (UK) or The X Factor (UK series 3) anyway. Only primary and unreliable sources are cited, and sometimes Wikipedia itself is used as a source (WP:RS). This is a pure example of WP:CRUFT, WP:NPOV and WP:OR.

 * Delete after Merge of any adequately sourced relevant material not already included in Leona_lewis. --Cameron* 10:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The nom should have also indicated that the previous AFD, concluded 2 months ago, ended in a no consensus and that the closing admin recommended it be renominated. 23skidoo (talk) 13:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong delete Lewis is notable for her appearance on the show, so an article with this title is surely redundant. In fact, the article title fails WP:NOTDIR for being a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Much of the information in this article is chaff about small details of what happened on the show, making it resemble a fansite, hardly worthy of inclusion in an encyclopaedia.

 * Merge with either The X Factor (UK series 3) or Leona Lewis. BUC (talk) 11:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, appropriate as a subarticle dealing with a crucial part of the career of a highly notable performer. Everyking (talk) 07:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, content belongs in main articles, no need for subarticle - per Dalejenkins. Brilliantine (talk) 14:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete – I have said it before and I will say it again. This is the second time this article has been nominated for deletion and it is because there is something inherently non-noteworthy about it. There have been all these arguments that 'Leona Lewis' journey on The X Factor was significant'. No matter how 'significant' it is subjectively deemed to be, a contestant's time on an talent show is not the basis for an article. The word-for-word verbiage of what the judges said week-in week-out is excessive and the general quality of the content is not in line with WP:GUIDELINES, particularly WP:NOTABILITY. — Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. PhilKnight (talk) 12:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and Delete - Everything down to the Leona Lewis on The X Factor section is okay, and probably could be merged into the Leona Lewis article to expand the comparatively shorter Leona Lewis section. The Live Shows part can probably be summarized generally and also added. Then, I think, this article is ready and eligible for deletion. Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 12:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
