Leona Lewis on The X Factor

Delete. This is an entire article full of trivial infomation about one person's role as a contestant in a Reality TV show. All of this infomation is included in Leona Lewis, The X Factor (UK) or The X Factor (UK series 3) anyway. Only primary and unreliable sources are cited, and sometimes Wikipedia itself is used as a source (WP:RS). This is a pure example of WP:CRUFT, WP:NPOV and WP:OR.

Delete after Merge of any adequately sourced relevant material not already included in Leona_lewis#2006:_The_X_Factor. --Cameron * 10:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The nom should have also indicated that the previous AFD, concluded 2 months ago, ended in a no consensus and that the closing admin recommended it be renominated. 23skidoo (talk) 13:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Lewis is notable for her appearance on the show, so an article with this title is surely redundant. In fact, the article title fails WP:NOTDIR for being a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization. Much of the information in this article is chaff about small details of what happened on the show, making it resemble a fansite, hardly worthy of inclusion in an encyclopaedia.

Merge with either The X Factor (UK series 3) or Leona Lewis. BUC (talk) 11:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, appropriate as a subarticle dealing with a crucial part of the career of a highly notable performer. Everyking (talk) 07:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, content belongs in main articles, no need for subarticle - per Dalejenkins. Brilliantine (talk) 14:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete – I have said it before and I will say it again. This is the second time this article has been nominated for deletion and it is because there is something inherently non-noteworthy about it. There have been all these arguments that 'Leona Lewis' journey on The X Factor was significant'. No matter how 'significant' it is subjectively deemed to be, a contestant's time on an talent show is not the basis for an article. The word-for-word verbiage of what the judges said week-in week-out is excessive and the general quality of the content is not in line with WP:GUIDELINES, particularly WP:NOTABILITY. — Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. PhilKnight (talk) 12:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Delete - Everything down to the Leona Lewis on The X Factor#Live Shows section is okay, and probably could be merged into the Leona Lewis article to expand the comparatively shorter Leona Lewis#2006: The X Factor section. The Live Shows part can probably be summarized generally and also added. Then, I think, this article is ready and eligible for deletion. BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 12:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
