List of Canadian Idol (Season 4) contestants[edit]

Indiscriminate list of over 200 names, whose prod was contested by an IP editor. This is a directory of pretty much everybody who took part in the preliminary stages of Canadian idol. I do not see that there is a place in an encyclopaedia for this type of information. Ohconfucius 05:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. There are idols in most big counteries and most have 4 or more seasons, so that could be 10,000 people or more to be listed who really don't have any notibility.--Dacium 06:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of these people would have had no more than a few minutes on TV - that doesn't make them notable. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 08:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the cattle call of all contestants. They have already had their 5 minutes on TV, and without independent sources for each, fail to show notability. Inkpaduta 16:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Would seem to violate WP:NOT#DIR as it is basically just a phone list of people's names with no encylopedic analysis or context to why this information is at all notable. Such a list MIGHT be ok on Wikisource as a data reference for someone writing an article about the show (for them to look up the name of someone, for example). But it's unfortunately lacking as an article. Dugwiki 22:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
