Thia Megia

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Subject fails notability requirements for musicians. No albums released, no affiliation with a major label or indie. Info can't be verified. Appears that's she's mainly known as a child prodigy who sings the national anthem a lot, but that's not enough. This article has had lots of issues since its creation in November but has not improved. Delete it. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 21:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm of mixed opinions about this. The girl is currently competing in the current season of America's Got Talent, and my personal opinion is that she has a chance to go far in it.  If this AFD results in a Delete, I would like to see it be a delete without prejudice against possible recreation if she ends up going far in AGT.  From past experience, acts that make the finals of AGT have generally survived AFD.  Acts that do not make the finals of a season generally do not (barring notability beyond AGT).  My personal bar for notability from AGT would be a bit higher than that, but that's just one editor's opinion.  Anyway, while we do not know at this point how far she will go in AGT, I would really not like to see a delete result from this AFD prevent recreation if she does end up going far in the competition. - TexasAndroid (talk) 23:28, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Reply: I didn't realize that she was a contestant because the article doesn't mention it. The only mention is a category at the bottom, which frankly I forgot to look for. Moreover, there's no apparent reference to substantiate this. If someone can provide a ref, I will support holding this in abeyance until she finishes on AGT. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Here is the episode summary for her preliminary round episode, and here is her preliminary round performance from the NBC website. That's all that has aired so far, though the second round airs tomorrow and Wednesday.  The second round will cull out over 3/4 of the remaining acts, so there is a good chance my concerns will be moot after Wednesday.  It's purely my opinion/speculation that she is likely to go further.
 * As for the mention, it was there at one point, but in the in and out of the wall of crap that has been added and removed several times from the rest of the article, it got lost. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Then lets see how she does this week, and go from there. Admins: Please put a hold on this discussion until Wednesday, July 29. Thanks. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Last night she made it through to the Top 40. So she's still in the competition. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * How's about I withdraw this without prejudice, meaning it could be submitted for AfD again if she does not progress very far? Then we can revisit the issue until the outcome is determined. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. As I said above, my personal opinion of how far advancement in AGT is needed to confer notability is at odds with the AFD history.  IMHO making it to the top 10 or so should be enough.  But historically, acts that have made it to the top 10, but not the finals, have not survived AFDs.  But that aside, we can revisit the issue later if she does not get far in the competition.  - TexasAndroid (talk) 04:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
