Deletion of Cameron Mitchell (singer)

Comment: I was prepared to wait and see but since this has now come to AfD I don't have any choice but to support deletion based on Wikipedia policy, although I think redirection to The Glee Project#Contenders is probably a better option.  very clearly applies here. All of the subject's notability relates directly to his appearance on ''The Glee Project'', most to his voluntary exit from the competition. Of the 14 citations in the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cameron_Mitchell_%28singer%29&oldid=448083275 current version of the article, all but one directly refers to his appearance (and disappearance) from the program. Only the iTunes reference does not, that simply supports the existence of his EP, which apparently wasn't overly popular until he left The Glee Project. BLP1E says "''If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event and if, outside of the event, that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them.''" Clearly, the overwhelming majority of the sources in the article do only cover him in the context of one event (The Glee Project) so we need to determine if he will remain "and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". Unfortunately, we can't do that. |Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. However, based on not only American Idol contestants but contestants from every reality series that has ever aired, the likelihood that he will remain a low-profile individual is extremely high, so there is very little reason to keep this article based on policy. In the event that he becomes notable independent of The Glee Project, the article can always be created but at this point he just doesn't meet the notability requirements. While I respect the right of those who have voted to keep this article to vote that way, policy doesn't support it

Comment: WP:BLP1E does not apply here, as that is a policy that was intended to protect people who attracted attention due to their inadvertent association with some crime, natural disaster, or something like that.  Once a person has undertaken to appear on a nationally televised reality show, that person is not "low-profile", as they have taken steps to try to ''attain'' public recognition. In this particular case, this musician has been the subject of coverage in multiple reliable sources such as the ''Dallas Observer'' and ''The Dallas Morning News'', and so meets  criterion #1. These are not passing mentions in articles that are otherwise about the TV show; they are articles ''about'' the subject
