Deletion of Gamu Nhengu

Comment: Extreme case of  and . She is notable for one single event, being on the X factor. What is more, she failed to qualify for the finals. Even most contenstants who ''do'' qualify for the finals of this annual show don't have Wikipedia articles, and Ms Nhengu is no different from the large number of people who did not make the final. The fact that many people thought her to be good does not make her more notable

Comment: Although the subject of this discussion achieved notoriety via the X Factor, her notability extends far beyond the TV show now. The topic of Gamu Nhengu, both her singing and her on-going visa problems, continue to make headlines around the world - and are also being discussed at the highest world political levels too. A search of Google News http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gamu&hl=en&sa=G&biw=1198&bih=637&prmd=nv&source=univ&tbs=nws:1&tbo=u&ei=kuW2TIqEF8uNjAe-9PmZCg&oi=news_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQqAIwAA shows she is still the topic of scores of global media articles - so  and  do not apply.

Comment: per  - she's only received coverage for being kicked out of X-Factor and there isn't even any news about a career after the fact so she is likely to remain non-notable outside of this one event

Comment: and possibly '''rename if necessary''' - but deletion is not an option here. In my opinion it is not a BLP1E, given that there are multiple events connected to the coverage in sources, which is wide. In any case let us remember that BLP1E is almost ''never'' a reason to outright delete: the policy says: ''In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article.'' - Therefore, in the case consensus is assessed for BLP1E to apply, the article can be renamed and edited to switch the focus to the event (which clearly passes GNG) -as it has been practice in multiple other cases (e.g. Disappearance of Maura Murray). Since it is an issue demanding only editing, per |deletion policy, we do not delete

Comment: utterly non-notable . ''Contestants'' in The X-Factor and other reality TV shows are generally not notable enough for their own pages, let alone those who failed to get through the earlier rounds. In this case, this was a story the tabloids ran with for a few days, but they've now got bored and moved on; it's already yesterday's news. There's no case for long-term notability here

Comment: The gossip columns' attention relates to the appearance on X-Factor (or the result of it), it is commonly accepted that only finalists of talent contests are notable &ndash; usually only the winner and two runners-up. She fails on that count. The subject attracted 200,000 facebook signatures petitioning against her deportation... so yes, seems to be

Comment: To everyone invoking NOTNEWS, which, remember, is not meant to delete every news from the encyclopedia but to avoid covering "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities", I want to quote the wise words of #CRYSTAL. "Notability is based on objective evidence of whether sufficient reliable sources have taken notice already, not on subjective judgments of whether people should take notice in the future. Focusing on the objective evidence helps the deletion discussion reach a logical conclusion; injecting your personal predictions does not
