Former Idol contestant. Article which appears to fail WP:RS. Although she may have a role in a film to be released, only time will tell if she is notable. Ohconfucius 02:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment What is the current consensus regarding the notability of failed American Idol finalists? What direction have other recent AfDs been going?  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 14:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete To answer Youngamerican's question above, most of the afds have resulted in deletion, and a handful have been kept. I can't speak for everyone, but my view is that per WP:N the question isn't whether or not the person won or lost the contest but is instead the quality and quantity of reliable published articles and interviews about them.  To meet WP:N the article should have multiple, reliable independently published sources talking about the subject in a non-trivial fashion.  This particular article doesn't currently meet that standard, though, since its references appear to either not be independent (eg her blog site) and/or not from a reliable publisher (eg an internet forum). That sourcing issue needs to be corrected for me to reconsider my recommendation to delete. Dugwiki 18:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I see everyone's point, but I would contend that being a finalist on American Idol (note:this does not mean all or even most reality shows. AI is the exception, not the rule.) is enough to drag the subject across the threshold of WP:BIO. I would find this to be more of a candidate for having a tag requesting sources or expansion, not deletion. If deleted, I would urge the admin to note in the deletion logs something about deletion due to WP:V so that a future article on the topic that does address these concerns is not knee-jerk deleted via CSD G4. I would also make urge said admin to create a redirect to the season of the show in which she performed.  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 21:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't understand why this page might be deleted. Every other finalst has their separate page. And this person is about to star in a feature film coming out in May. I don't understand why it should be deleted. Also, there are lost of semi-finalists who haven't done anything past Idol, and still have their own page! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.54.173.172 (talk) 02:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Keep. She also has a clothing line, and hosted the view. It should not be deleted. 66.194.114.163 20:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
