• Comment: Doesn't pass WP:MUSICBIO. Most references are interviews. Needs WP:SIGCOV. Twinkle1990 ( talk) 15:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO, an also-ran on a TV talent show. His career might well take off as a result of the exposure on the show, but for now it's WP:TOOSOON. Article was already created at Will Moseley, and redirected to AI season 22. Wikishovel ( talk) 06:30, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment: I have added more citations. Subject meets criteria #9 of WP:MUSICBIO. He was 2nd runner up in American Idol. Redcarpetstage ( talk) 3:24, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
