The reason 4

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I find it very hard to believe that a contestant who got knocked out in a pretty early stage of a TV talent show could be considered to be notable. I think this article is too early and seeks to establish their notability before the event. Even if the talent show appearance renders them notable, that notability is for one event only.

When they become independently and verifiably notable for more than just getting knocked out in a TV talent show then they have a place here, but not until then. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:32, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi i feel that The Reason 4 page has every right to be notable and avoid deletion. Yes they were eliminated earlier in the X Factor but still have achieved a lot including who they've supported on tour, recorded their album with and have charted with their debut single? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesdaniel88 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Nothing 'has a right to be notable'. It either is, or is not. I submit that this band is not. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

In the list of the criteria they meet alot of the required. Including 'have had a single or album chart on any country's national music chart', they also performed on many television shows, they've been placed on rotation on national radio and tv music channels. Surely this is enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesdaniel88 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Also they've also signed a major publishing with major Sony ATV? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesdaniel88 (talk • contribs) 12:12, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Most of the coverage is very frothy, with gay publications, local press, showbiz media, etc (I also found stuff from The List, Popjustice, Sheffield Telegraph, Gaydar Radio, M Magazine, Digital Spy.) But it's enough to be notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per sources found by Thesteve and Colapeninsula. -- Trevj (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
