American Idol contestant who didn't make the Top 12, ergo not notable. Nothing in bio establishes other notability. Wizardman 20:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to the third season of the show. JJL (talk) 21:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to American Idol (season 3). Not notable enough to warrant an article. I noticed that only two semi-finalists of group 2 have articles, and it's because there's other notable television appearances, albums recorded, etc. that the article is based on - not just being an American Idol semi-finalist reaching below the Top 10. --JamieS93 13:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. Lisa is arguably the most successful non-finalist in Idol history. She was listed among the top 20 Idols of All Time by a media critic this winter, placing ahead of many well known performers. http://remote.lohudblogs.com/2008/01/11/top-20-idol-contestants-of-all-time-20-lisa-leuschner/ Her recording of "One in a Million" reached number One for 3 weeks in 2007 on the internet radio station, IDOL WAVES. "One in a Million" finished 11th in the year long rankings (see Idol Waves chart history) and "Sweet Thing", the Chaka Khan song she performed in the American Idol semi-finals also finished in the top 100 Idol Waves chart for 2007. http://www.idolwaves.com/charts Lisa's fiery red hair, curvaceous figure and winning smile were just memorialized by international skate board artist, Todd Bratrud on a series of boards, calendars and other items being marketed. http://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/company-news/volcom/newsdetails.aspx?news_id=50571 To delete Lisa from Wikipedia, when she has made much more of a splash and released more albums than most of the Idol finalists, would be a travesty.
