Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Idols task force (WP:IDOL)

Welcome to the Idol series WikiProject!  We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Idol series. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects. Management: This WikiProject has no manager, everyone and anyone who chooses to participate in this WikiProject is free to edit and manage however much they like.  Improve, organize, and expand articles relating to the Idol series.   === Scope === Television series in the Idol format, licensed by FremantleMedia Television series and films licensed by 19 Entertainment that have significant relation to Idol Idol contestants, finalists, winners, judges, and hosts Singles debuted on an Idol show Albums and core singles debuted by an Idol winner, finalist, or contestant (not every song will fall under this scope) Bands, musical groups, musicals, movies, and shows significantly involving Idol alumni   === Biographies of contestants === For contestants, it has been decided that only finalists should qualify for their own article based on their participation in the show. Semi-finalists who are not otherwise notable are redirected to their season's article.   Lead section - Brief and to the point: Full name, birth date, and birth place (if applicable, include nickname(s) and hometown if different from place of birth). Should probably contain information about the Idol show that they participated in, as well as the season, and year that it happened. Biography Early years - The person's career and life before the show. x Idol - The person's persona and career during the show. Post-Idol - Events that happened after the show. Section should be titled according to the title of the album released, unless there is no album available. Discography - If applicable, information on CDs, DVDs, video, singles. Filmography - If applicable, information on movies and other television shows. List of performances - include song name, original artist, date the performance aired, and if applicable, a brief summary of judges' statements. For longer lists, {{hidden begin}} is recommended and splitting of the article is discouraged. References External links   === Albums === Only albums released on a major record label, or which have a significant amount of sales and/or promotion, will have their own articles. This is in accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums and WP:MUSIC. Any others will be merged with the musical artist regardless of the contestant's place in the competition.   === Singles === As with above, major and core singles will have their own articles. Individual songs will be merged with either the album or the musical artist. Retail store lists (e.g. Amazon, iTunes, and Wal-Mart) will not be referenced in any article or included in a 'chart performance' history as they are not real music charts.   === Episodes === A list of episodes was recently created for American Idol. It is  intended to replace lists of performances. All episodes will be listed on the main episodes page, and individual pages will be created for performance shows (that follows a consistent format of naming). In order to make this happen, all records of performances must be kept on the biographies, and do not create any more pages such as 'list of Taylor Hicks' performances on American Idol'. After the transition, these lists can be removed.
