Prince Poppycock

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Delete. The artist in question does not have notieriety outside of Americas Got Talent. Per my understanding that makes him fail GNG as he doesn't have anything other then being a contestant on the tv show Hell In A Bucket (talk) 06:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep widespread coverage in news supports notability through WP:GNG (click the "news" link above) in highly regarded widely read news sources. CBS News, Forbes, etc. meets requirement of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."--Paul McDonald (talk) 06:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Poppycock's making the Final Four of America's Got Talent makes him more notable than many individuals who grace the Wikipedia. And per Wikipedia policy, notability is not temporary. TechBear  &#124; Talk &#124; Contributions 13:04, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

 * For one that's a invalid argument. He is notable for one event, he fails the guidelines for artist notability and is only notable for one thing. We have loads of other shows on here and from what I can tell from looking at Hell's Kitchen (U.S. season 8) none of these contestants have their own page, neither do the contestants here The Amazing Race 17.

 * You know why Jackie Evancho has a page? She has done something outside the AGT show. She has a contract with a major label, she is doing things. Poppy cock is obviously not and the only claim to fame he had was agt.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:07, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Please research the subject matter more--you'll find a wide array of articles in reliable sources and notability for his career inside and outside the "one event" that you hold out. I wonder if this is a personal issue and it's just that you don't like the performer?--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Apologies I could have chosen words better methinks! I should not have wondered aloud and left impressions that Hell in a Bucket was making bad faith nominations.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2010 (UTC) Keep - he may be a D list celebrity, but he's still a celebrity. It extents beyond simply america's got talent and goes into his stage performances too. GrantBud (talk) 23:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Based on the statements made by Hell in a Bucket, i don't think he actually read the article. Prince Poppycock was notabile before American's Got Talent. He was a stage performer. He released an album. He had multiple newspapers write articles about him.  After AGT, I am surprised this is even in question. Turlo Lomon (talk)
