Keep: Dayton Daily News article is specifically about this singer, SIGCOV therefore GNG Jack4576 (talk) 01:02, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her hometown newspaper running an article after she was eliminated during the semifinals does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. If she were a finalist, I'd just redirect the article, but she's not. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:09, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect I haven't done much searching, so it's possible that there could be more sources out there, but redirecting this to the appropriate season article seems like a reasonable course. She was a semi-finalist, she was on multiple voting round episodes, it seems reasonable to assume that some people will be searching for her on Wikipedia. Deleting the article outright doesn't feel necessary. But the one source from Dayton Daily News is only about her time on Idol, and while I tend to support keeping standalone articles for American Idol finalists, we don't need articles on every semifinalist. --Jpcase (talk) 01:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

Keep per Cunard. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 12:43, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Cunard Do any of the sources that you found mention her self-titled debut album? I'm somewhat leaning towards switching my vote to a weak keep, on the basis of her performing as an opener for so many major acts, but it would help if there's any coverage out there for her album. --Jpcase (talk) 13:50, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for reviewing the additional sources I found, Jpcase (talk · contribs). I think the coverage of her work as an opener and performer allows her to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria. According to this entry in AllMusic, her album is titled Alexis Gomez and was released on 31 August 2015. I searched for sources about the album and could not find coverage of it.
