Delete Not notable. Being a contestant on a reality TV show does not confer notability. Currently unsourced. Willing to reconsider if sources giving significant coverage are provided not connected to his appearance on the show. Cowlibob (talk) 19:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article undoubtedly needs a lot of work, however, it is salvageable. I believe placing in the top 8 of arguably the largest music competition in the United States satisfies WP:MUSIC, specifically 9. Has won or placed in a major music competition. It really doesn't get much bigger as far as music competition's are concerned, and if you look at [[Category:The Voice (TV series) contestants]] you will see that most of the artists were kept on Wikipedia solely for their notability on The Voice. Not to mention charting on the iTunes top 100 on more than one occasion. -War wizard90 (talk) 05:53, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@War wizard90: I've read that bit to mean that they medalled in the competition i.e top 3 or were finalists. I can't comment on the WP:OTHERSTUFF and can only discuss whether this article is notable in itself. Cowlibob (talk) 14:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cowlibob: Well it doesn't clearly say if it means you need to place in the top 3, top 3 in a smaller music competition may be less prestigious than top 10 in a competition as large as The Voice. However, I guess that is for the community to decide. -War wizard90 (talk) 02:38, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination, as the article is completely lacking references. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
