Jessica King[edit]

Article about a dancer whose claim to fame is that she was a contestant on a reality show, had to withdraw due to injury, but "aims to grow as a dancer and an artist through her experience within So You Think You Can Dance". PROD removed with the comment "I think everyone who makes it to the top ten and joins the SYTYCD tour meets the notability threshold". I don't agree, so I bring it here for other views. There is an earlier AfD for this name, but not the same person. JohnCD (talk) 10:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Surely if this page has to be deleted, then every other page of previous and existing so you think you can dance contestants has to be deleted.

I see nothing wrong with the Jessica King page, and if I see something I feel unnecessary on the page it can easily be edited/deleted.

It basically is there to inform people of this contestant, just like many other contestant pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.67.169 (talk) 10:54, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have moved the above remarks here from the talk page where they were posted, and interpreted them as a "Keep" !vote. My reply is that having some articles about non-notable reality show contestants is not a good reason for adding more - see WP:WAX. JohnCD (talk) 11:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - subject has received significant media coverage [1]. Maybe merge and redirect this article and the other contestant pages into List of So You Think You Can Dance contestants Jезка (talk) 11:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think that coverage really falls under the heading of "People notable only for one event" - see WP:BIO1E. Merge to a list of contestants could be the way to go. JohnCD (talk) 15:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect per others. SKS2K6 (talk) 19:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to So You Think You Can Dance (Season 4). The convention has been to have articles on the final 4 contestants and that's all. There is no reason to have this as a full article. We already have articles for the season 2 and season 3 finalists. I have no problem with creating one for the season 4 finalists. The template for the show has all of the contestants we have articles on. And it's enough. :) --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 23:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into appropriate section of newly created So You Think You Can Dance (Season 4) finalists. MissMJ (talk) 00:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the appropriate season of the television program, or an appropriate subarticle thereof, as her only claim to fame at this point in time is appearing in the show. -- saberwyn 02:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
