Richard and Adam Johnson[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Notable for one event, that being being contestants on Britain's Got Talent. They didn't win. They came third, which is no different to coming second of fourth or tenth. All information about them (other than their day jobs, which isn't notable - they make sandwiches for a living), is covered already in Britain's Got Talent (series 7). Losers of these shows do not normally get their own article until they go on to become notable beyond that show, and as it only ended a few days ago, Richard and Adam Johnson have not done that. There's a good precendent for this, the most recent example being three AFDs for Fifth Harmony, who also finished third in a competition. –anemone projectors– 15:50, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think it should be deleted. Notability of this group requires an article. They are rumored to be signed to Syco label - and we should wait for this to be confirmed/denied in the coming weeks. Fifth Harmony notability is lacking, Richard and Adam's is not.

Delete. As of yet, they have done nothing noteworthy outside of the show, unlike Jack Carroll or Francine Lewis (possibly also MckNasty), who all had a brush with notability before entering BGT. If and when they receive press attention for something outside of the show (like a record deal) then an article can be created. J Milburn (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Redirect to the show's season. No independent notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the series finalists page. 94.173.99.52 (talk) 10:34, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the content: they are clearly NN, but I see no objection to the redirect, as long as some one will watch that the redirect is not reverted to being an article. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:44, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
