List of X Factor Contestants

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete indiscriminate collection of information per WP:IINFO. Entirely trivial list, orphaned, and unsourced. Mayalld (talk) 12:43, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you come to the conclusion this is indiscriminate? The inclusion guidelines for the list has clear boundaries and at least 3rd of the entries is bluelinked (notable) with others likely to follow. The fact it's unsourced and orphaned can be addressed by editing. - Mgm|(talk) 17:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral - better a list than a category? Deb (talk) 12:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - the vast majority of the names on the list are simply not notable. Listcruft, pure and simple. Mayalld (talk) 12:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. As far as I can determine, this list duplicate material from the articles of the related tv shows. It doesn't even list contestants from other country editions (Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Australia, etc) - Mgm|(talk) 17:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: article duplication. JamesBurns (talk) 08:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
