List of American Idol finalists
I feel that this list meets the Featured list criteria. It is fully sourced and has gone through three copy-edits. Of course things may have been missed, so any concerns will be addressed.

This FLC is a part of the Featured list contest.  iMa tth ew (talk) 20:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - I was waiting for you to contact me to revisit here, but I guess you didn't want my vote, after the resolved concerns, it meets WP:WIAFL.-- S R X  20:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Is http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/13980/irish-idol-smithsons-secret-past a reliable source?
 * Sources look good otherwise. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  21:17, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Source replaced.  iMa tth ew (talk) 21:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Suppport - With all of SRX's comments addressed, I see no reason why this shouldn't be a Featured list. Sunderland06  (talk) 01:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * A total of 106 contestants have made it to the top twelve (or ten) of their seasons. "Made it" &rarr; "reached".
 * In the second season, finalist Corey Clark was disqualified after it was revealed that he had been arrested during the competition after he was charged with resisting arrest, battery upon his sister, and criminal restraint. Avoid using "after" twice in that sentence.
 * Smithson remained on the show, and was placed sixth in her season. Remove "was".
 * Done.  iMa tth ew (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
