The result was   no consensus. I'm tempted to call this a consensus to not keep the article, with uncertainty about whether it should be merged/redirected or just plain deleted. But, both  and  felt that as of 11 August, there was not a clear enough consensus to close this, and the only thing which has happened since then is one more argument to keep, which surely doesn't argue for a delete consensus. So, I'm going to call this NC. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:10, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Seems to fail WP:MUSIC. All coverage comes from the time that he won CMT's Next Superstar, with no subsequent coverage whatsoever. This seems to be a case similar to Angela Hacker, who won a season of Nashville Star but received no coverage after the fact. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:57, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge into CMT's Next Superstar. All non-local coverage appears to relate to his stint on Next Superstar. His appearance on an earlier singing show, his past history with drugs/alcohol, and his "Chasing Stardust" song/album are all sourced, so even if a standalone article is not warranted, there's no reason why a few sentences can't be incorporated into the Next Superstar page, similar to how American Idol finalists receive summaries within the show's page (example).

 * Delete - Does not meet WP:ENT.--Rpclod (talk) 02:41, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep As per WP:NTEMP, notability is not temporary, so "subsequent coverage" is irrelevant to deciding if a previously wp:notable topic belongs in the encyclopedia.  Last AfD, including sources provided by Cavaronne and NorthAmerica1000, shows 12 references that show that our WP:GNG guideline, which only needs two good sources, is satisfied.

 * Keep – In my view, the "keep" consensus at Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) was not at all unreasonable. There's coverage of him beyond just news of his Next Superstar win, for example in the Dayton Daily News I found there is coverage from 2012, and also a bit of coverage of him touring in 2013 (Don Thrasher. "The Top", Dayton Daily News 26 July 2013: p. AC.3.) Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 22:45, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
