Comment: Passes criteria #1 and #9 of , per several editors above.  He may also be notable as having toured, but I don't see any cites (yet) that verify that.  No all "American Idols" are notable, but some are, on a case-by-case basis

Comment: or '''redirect''' to American Idol (season 8). Whilst the nomination appears a little pointed, I think these should be discussed on the same grounds as the participants at Alexis Grace mentioned. A lack of notability beyond the ''single event'' (per ) of being in American Idol. WikiProject precedents or standards are irrelevant in comparison to our own policies - we already have an article covering the event, so individual articles can be merged there if there is any additional material, in which case a redirect should take place

Comment: all the ''|keep'' arguments above are basically stating past precedent, which doesn't override  and .  Unless he does something else notable in the future that changes his notability, no one will remember nor care about him next season
