Comment: I wouldn't strongly oppose most of these being merged to American Idol (season 13) for the time being, but the ideal situation I think, would be for these articles to be kept and improved. I've already spent some time on the Jessica Meuse article, having gone into more detail than could be merged into the season article. I would definitely be disappointed if this one is merged. As for the others, all of them certainly meet the notability criteria, both of , having "placed in a major music competition", and of Wikipedia:Notability, since they all have received significant coverage in reliable independent sources

Comment: where applicable, otherwise redirect) into American Idol (season 13)#Finalists. What little biographical information exists within each contestant's article is mostly already contained in the Finalists section of the Season 13 page. Songs performed from the semifinals-on are also duplicated from the individuals' pages. That leaves so little unique material in each contestant article that it might be |too soon to branch off just yet, even if they technically meet  #9 by way of placing in the finals
