Deletion of Paula Goodspeed

Comment: My feeling is that  just barely doesn't apply here.  I suppose that there are two events, the poor girl's audition and her later suicide.  But that's just by the skin of her teeth.  If we can find a good source that covers her life outside of the stalking stuff, then maybe I could change my mind, but really I think this was the sort of thing BLP1E was made for

Comment: If this were just an obsessed fan, there wouldn't be enough to peg a separate article on. However this individual crosses the line into notability by the fact she appeared on a nationally broadcast TV program, a circumstance that led to her later actions. If she had never appeared on ''American Idol'' I'd say merge, but she did, so that adds notability.  does not apply incidentially as that criteria is reserved only for living people and if we were to apply it to dead people, in theory that would disqualify articles such as Lee Harvey Oswald or Marc Lepine. There might be another notability criteria that could be cited applying to the dead, however
