Fails WP:BIO. Non-notable reality TV show contestant. Oz ^talk 07:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Singer's recordings have been sold commercially by Universal music. --Victory93 (talk) 10:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:MUSBIO. Oz ^talk 11:47, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These recordings are just his performances from the show. They're not his official singles. Oz ^talk 07:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Singer meets 3 of the following criteria:

10.Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E for further clarifications)
11.Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
- Fails this criteria. He hasn't released any songs to radio. Oz ^talk 07:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
12.Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.

--Victory93 (talk) 02:45, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then he meets just those two. The criteria states that if they meet just one of the critera then they're considered notable enough. --Victory93 (talk) 07:52, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria states it "may" be notable. But this singer is notable only for one event. Has he released singles/or albums that have charted? No. Is he signed to a record label? No. I think the best thing to do is redirect the article to The Voice (Australia season 1). Oz ^talk 10:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

His cover of Fireflies debuted at 93 on the ARIA charts however the information has since been removed from the aria website. I'm unable to find any other reliable link which I can reference this to in the article. --Victory93 (talk) 11:31, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Voice (Australia), this article is premature. BLP1E for now. Cavarrone (talk) 02:48, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Voice (Australia). Per nom and Cavarrone, this is a good case of BLP1E. Will also need to change the hatnote at Ben Bennett.--William Thweatt ^Talk^Contribs 02:46, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: this article is informative and useful. It is borderline for the criteria, but should not be deleted at this stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Squareanimal (talk • contribs) 10:15, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to The Voice (Australia season 1). It is normal practise on Wikipedia that reality TV contestants don't get their own article until they are independently notable outside of the TV programme. Sionk (talk) 15:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Voice (Australia season 1). Subject fails WP:MUSICBIO as an individual. WWGB (talk) 03:59, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- NOTE: The article Carmen Smith should have a similar fate. WWGB (talk) 04:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- NOTE: The singer Carmen Smith actually meets to the notability critera for having written songs for other singers and has appeared on other television shows. --Victory93 (talk) 04:39, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
