Naima Adedapo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An obvious case of WP:BLP1E, failing to meet GNG or even the standard required for WP:BAND. Sufficient biographical info is already included in the parent article American Idol (season 10). -- RexxS (talk) 01:43, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * BLP1E: "Wikipedia is not news, or an indiscriminate collection of information. Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." All of the sources clearly cover Adedapo only in the context of American Idol. She has no public attention beyond this and unless she wins or is placed in AI, she fails MUSICBIO#9: "won or placed in a major music competition". Being placed does not mean the top thirteen, and I should point out that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is considered a counter-productive argument at AfD. If Adedapo is really notable for more than one event, then the sources and content to demonstrate that need to be in the article. --RexxS (talk) 04:50, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * BLP1E is just as much about ensuring that the encyclopedia does not become clogged up with non-notable subjects, who manage a single brief flash of exposure in the spotlight and then fade forever from public view. Are you suggesting that every finalist of every TV contest since TV began is automatically notable enough for a Wikipedia article? As for the other finalists, you already know that they were correctly proposed for deletion as unreferenced via BLP-prod. The fact that more articles failing BLP1E exist is hardly a good reason to keep this one. --RexxS (talk) 19:30, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep: Passes WP:MUSICBIO #1 and #9. Aspects (talk) 05:35, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Wikipedia has a long tradition of including all the finalists from each season of American Idol. Wiwaxia (talk) 23:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Plus that all other Top 13 candidates have pages already according to above. Why make this candidate an exception to all the other 12? werldwayd (talk) 15:49, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Besides easily passing GNG, WP:BLP1E was created for the privacy of "low profile" (exact words of WP:BLP1E) individuals who inadvertently found themselves in the news, ie "Peoria Man Accidentally Mows Off Own Foot." An individual who willingly appears multiple times on one of the most popular television shows in history and signs god knows how many release forms is in no manner "low profile."--Oakshade (talk) 05:27, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Aspect and Oakshade. Candy  o32  00:44, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Their is no reason to delete it; it provides sources and is part of the tradition of having all of the finalists' Wiki articles per season. Grammar is fine too. ATC . Talk 03:27, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
