PNT Singing Idol
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A highly promotional article on an unremarkable talent competition with no indications of notability or significance; fails WP:NORG for lack of significant coverage that discusses the topic directly and in detail. The sources listed in the article are either local to the area (i.e. "local resident does well") or non independent of the subject.

Copy contains: "The top annual prize is a round trip air fare from Metro Vancouver to the Philippines and a $1000 cash prize" etc, strongly suggesting lack of notability for this local contest. First AfD (2 October 2016) closed as "No consensus", apparently for lack of participation. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:37, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Something like this is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists, but I'm not seeing the depth of coverage about it that would be needed for it to clear WP:GNG. The references here are either unreliable sources or glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things, not coverage that's substantively about it — and my favourite of all is reference #6, where the headline given in the citation is "Filipino Fiesta in BC" but the headline on the article if you follow the URL is "IBM launches new generation mainframe". This is not the depth of coverage it needs per either NMUSIC or ORGDEPTH. Bearcat (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak delete with misgivings, because it's a well-put-together article - but I agree, if it can't meet either WP:MUSIC or WP:CORPDEPTH then it shouldn't be kept here. It almost meets WP:MUSIC criterion #12 by being aired annually on a cable TV channel, but it isn't distributed nationally as the criterion requires. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
