The result was   redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 8). Exercising a bit of discretion here, seems like what I have put down is a more specific target. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 08:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Sophie Habibis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contestant from The X Factor (UK series 8) who is not notable at the present time, having not even qualified for the live finals yet. ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing apart from passing mentions in routine news stories. Moswento (talk | contribs) 12:48, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, or maybe redirect to The X Factor (UK series 8). Definitely redirect to the list of the finalists if she becomes one. But she's not notable at the moment. – anemone projectors – 13:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - She is in the final 16, of which is notable in itself. How is one to dictate how notable she is, there is widespread publicity of this aspiring singer, all information supplied is fact and referenced. 'User:benford89' 14:37, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 *  Delete Redirect to The X Factor (UK series 8) In reply to above, we're judging notability by comparison against general notability guidelines, which the subject does not appear to meet. If there is widespread publicity then please demonstrate it. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 15:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Wikipedia is not a fansite. - DonCalo (talk) 18:59, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 *  Keep  I would like to further note that there is plenty of notability. All one has to do is search said subject into google and a list of relevant pages, from national newspapers, youtube, on-line blogs and the X Factor website. I believe this does meet the criteria, maybe you all have not watched or care for the programme so will not have heard her or noted the impact she is about to have on the music scene.

 * Redirect to The X Factor (UK series 8). Habibis has done nothing notable per WP:MUSICBIO, and is not notable outside X-Factor S8.  matt (talk) 12:12, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I support this suggestion and have changed my comment accordingly. No prejudice to recreation if subject comes to meet WP:MUSICBIO/WP:GNG. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 12:23, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your above comment, I beleive she has met section 9 of WP:MUSICBIO — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.160.171 (talk) 10:04, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * What??? Section 9 states "Has won or placed in a major music competition". This individual has done neither. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 15:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

 * KEEP. She had made the final 32 X Factor contestants which is significant in itself, is tipped to make the final 16 because of her 'flawless performance' at Judges House, and consistently favourable remarks from Kelly Rowland and other judges.  Her existing public profile make a Wikipedia entry appropriate.  This will be further justified if she makes the final 16.  Having the foresight to keep the entry will maintain Wikipedia's reputation for being ahead of the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.229.40 (talk • contribs)
 * You just gave the perfect reason to delete this entry. Wikipedia is not about who might become notable, but about what already is notable. - DonCalo (talk) 19:55, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Clearly not notable - fails every aspect of both the general notability guideline and the guideline for singers. No prejudice to recreation should she win the competition, but getting through to last 32 or 16 of The X Factor is most definitely not 'placed'. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 13:59, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the series. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:20, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
