Procedural nomination. This article has been repeatedly switched to and from a redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 6). Many users, known as 'redirecters' have had concerns that the article doesn't cite sources, these can only be added, rather than redirecting just because of no source. Another concern has been the notability. Lloyd Daniels is currently a contestants on the television talent show The X Factor. There are two other contestants who have articles: Joe McElderry and Jedward, both who are currently under deletion nominations. He is one of the six remaining contestants and is popular within audiences, not because of the fact he is the youngest contestant in the series, but because with people he has the likability factor, and popularity. I would call this article to be kept, but I will leave that for Wikipedians to decide. Hassaan19 (talk) 19:49, 20 November 2009 (UTC) Strong keep. Is currently appearing on the UK's biggest talent show. He may not be independently notable at the moment, but like on Britain's Got Talent, some contestants, who haven't been talked about much but have caused a reaction, appear to have an article before they have made it to the live shows. 82.36.17.10 (talk) 10:12, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect. WP:ILIKEIT is not a reason to keep, but that seems to be the main justification offered. However, as someone known only for participation in a TV talent show there is no independent notability as yet. I42 (talk) 21:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect back to List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 6). Unlike Jedward, he has not yet achieved notability independent of the show itself. Robofish (talk) 23:15, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. SIMILAR to Jedward, he has not yet achieved notability independent of the show itself. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:30, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Possible Keep. I'm pretty sure that "is likely to be independantly notable soon" is not a valid reason, but that's what I think. Why not delay this decision til the end of the series and make it then, when we'll have a much better idea of whether or not Daniels is worthy of a solo article.

 * !vote struck; address is fixed address used by Hassaan19. (S)he has been warned for multiple voting in this way already. I42 (talk) 11:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Keep He is a very popular artist becasue of his age and fan following. Joe maybe shouldn't have a page, becasue unlike Jedward and Lloyd he doesn't have a particular fan follwing that has been picked up on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.130.175 (talk) 16:59, 23 November 2009 — 81.152.130.175 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete and Redirect. no evidence of independent notability. Mukadderat (talk) 00:31, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Didn't we go through this same thing with last years contestants? I think it came down to placing in a music competition, and since this kid hasn't placed, there are no grounds for keeping the article. Redirect is the best I can see happening. Sky83 (talk) 20:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I voted to keep the Jedward article, but there is absolutely no reason to keep this one. Daniels is just your average run of the mill contestant, and has absolutely no notability outside of the show. Perhaps in the future he may be notable enough for a page, but at the moment not at all.
