Serious business.
Probably someone who's favourite didn't win. Some people take it far too seriously.
Who is it? Amanda Holden?
I refer you to
WP:Otherstuff
WP:Crystal
WP:1E
Yes, but after they had presumably released selling albums so not JUST notable for their BGT/XF/whatever win.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:1E
I suspect it would still be NFD if they were still notable for only one thing.
Other contestants have not had their own pages unless they were notable for other things before, or after, BGT.
The Wikipedia policy with things like this is always if they are ONLY notable for BGT then they need to be mentioned in the BGT page and not their own.
If Ronan won, for example, his page would still be deleted unless they could find other things he had notability for (e.g. if he'd sung last christmas at them turning on the lights in Norwich, or something, and there was media coverage which could be linked to in his page).
And since when were you the judge of what should be on Wikipedia,a site with only slightly more credibility that DS? priceless post
Not just winners. It's par for the course.
It's just ridiculous bitter supporters of contestants who didn't win.
Have you even read Wikipedia's own guidelines on this?
You can have your doucheness back.
priceless post
seems credible to me
I would say that going by this part of the link, Jai is eligible for a Wiki page
Winner of a popular and well publicised prime time TV show seems to be covered by the last paragraph
What harm would it do to have a page anyway? seems like bitter losers wanting it to be deleted.
It's not.
BGT is not highly significant, at all. It's a TV show!
And Jai's role in it was not large. He only appeared for a few minutes over the course of two months.
WP:ITEXISTS
Actually the person who opened the deletion request is a wikipedia Adminstrator of 5 years
BGT is significant enough to have it's own Wiki page ... and likes been said, other winners and contestants have wikii pages
sorry but I can't be bothered to read through all that red tape and bureaucracy so if you'd be kiind enough to post the bits that show what harm Jai having a Wiki page will do
typical "jobsworth"
Who have been notable for other things pre/post BGT and are noted for doing something other than being on BGT.
Whether or not being the BGT winner is significant in its own right to merit a page of its own with no further achievements is a question of how notable BGT is and how prestigious the winner would be - and potentially isn't notable enough which is why they are nominating it for deletion (and the notability of it would be a key part of whether or not it is deleted).
Out of all the finalists from what I can see, only 2/3 of them really have anything else you could claim notability other than BGT:
- that lad in the MJ wannabe group who has show appearances
- Jean Martyn who has her own website detailing her musical credentials and a career in entertainment
- James Hobley who was on a BBC documentary a couple of years back about his dancing/autism as well as a contestant on a Sky One show (I think)
all of whom have something you can visibly reference as well as their achievements on BGT.
Jai may well be the winner, and may well in time be notable enough for his own page but what of significance can be found other than of BGT? That's the key to the 1E policy.
You will probably also note neither Thompson nor Venables have their own pages also, as they are only really notable for the Bulger murder...
So what? That doesn't mean they're impartial. It just means they unfortunately have the opportunity to weild their bias.
One admin has been trying for months and now years to find reasons and excuses for deleting the page of an American Idol runner-up "because they didn't win". Despite the fact that that runner-up is now a multi-platinum international seller and Grammy nominee and other award wiinner.
Doesn't matter: WP:ITSA
And like I've posted before: WP:OTHERSTUFF
It's the guidelines from Wikipedia. If you can't be bothered to read them then you can't really complain about an article being deleted.
As always with Wiki, it's about Being Bold

seems like they've just signed an independent recording contract recently but haven't released anything .. apart from that all they've done is appear on BGT as a group then split up into a duo .. hardly mindblowing stuff
The AfD in this case however complies fully with policies. The reasoning is not "bitter", it's per WP:1E

Third time now.
