The result was Draftify. And anticipating a move back to main space in the future. LizRead!Talk! 07:42, 4 December 2022 (UTC)reply
There's not enough in-depth coverage to show that this person passes
WP:GNG. As per
WP:REALITYSINGER, this could be redirected if a suitable target appears.

Delete: Does not appear to meet
WP:GNG or
WP:SINGER, except for possibly point #12. However, point #12 is offset by point #2 in
WP:REALITYSINGER. In this case, he's been on a couple different reality singing shows, so I'd say delete instead of redirect.

Draftify and redirect to
Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 for the time being. The subject will likely become more notable in the near future (due to his scheduled participation in the Eurovision Song Contest), so it would be better to allow for further expansion of the article in draftspace. —

Keep. There are multiple
WP:SIGCOV references in the article and many more sources online.

Sure, but as far as I can tell all of them are about one announcement. There aren't normally articles for people notable for just that. ―

Sorry but I can't follow your reaction. You seem to be unhappy with the references. The reason is unclear to me. Maybe write it in Dutch on my talk page?
gidonb (

There are lots of individual news events that a bunch of different sources write about at once, but for which we don't have an article about the topic. Because all those articles say basically the same thing; there is not much to write about. Like in this article, all the SIGCOV sources support just one sentence. So for this reason, per the first point of
WP:WHYN, this topic should be merged into another article (in this case, all relevant info is already in
Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022). There's also
WP:BLP1E which explicitly states this about people notable for one event, although I'm not sure if it applies here. ―

WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. The fact that the existing
WP:SIGCOV references could be better put to use is no reason to delete the article. Only to fix it. So
WP:WHYN #1 does not apply.
If
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to delete, and it isn't, then "other stuff does not exist" is no reason to delete either. Articles are kept on merits or deleted on lack of merits. This article has the merits of
WP:SIGCOV.
BLP1E does not apply at all, as Dion Cooper is known for multiple performances. For sure, the first big appearance (a popular talent show) did NOT (!) pull Dion over the
WP:N line. Some folks then err to discount an event entirely to force BLP1E on a BLPBLP2E, as undue as it would be. One shouldn't. Everything counts and we weigh the totality of people's careers, as covered in
WP:RS.

What I mean is that those references could not be better put to use. They purely discuss the announcement.
But you're right that it probably does not meet BLP1E as Cooper is not a low-profile individual, but he certainly does meet point 1 of BLP1E. Sure he's done multiple performances, but those are barely covered in independent reliable sources, so he is not notable for that. His sole reason for notability would be the announcement of his participation in Eurovision. ―

This has become highly repetitive. It all has been refuted before. Do not put responses under someone's well established opinion, just for the sake arguing. It's your only "contribution" to the discussion here. The difference that we make is in the article space so repetitive and refuted arguments help neither of us at productivity.
gidonb (

What, where does that suddenly come from? You said that the references could be put to better use, I disagreed, so I replied. The reason I replied only to you is because you are the only one here who wanted to keep the article, and I have nothing to say really about what other people said, so I didn't reply to them. ―

It started incomprehensibly and now has become a yes-no argument. That's not the purpose of discussions. I often do not agree with someone entirely. It's not a reason to keep arguing under their opinion, without bringing anything new to the table.
gidonb (

Back to my point. The amount and quality of coverage are sufficient for
WP:GNG. Others want to draftify for a while, then move back to the article space. This takes up some resources but attaining more quality is by itself a worthy goal! The bottom-line will be the same.
gidonb (

Draftify. Likely to be notable in the short term future, but not there yet.

Move to draft space. Not yet notable but this will likely change in the future as we approach Eurovision 2023.

Draftify. I'd say to move this to the drafts. It'll be notable soon; but it does need some work.
