Twinkle crapped out on another user, and as usual, that leaves me as the ONLY PERSON ON ALL OF WIKIPEDIA who can clean up redlinked AFDs. Open your eyes, people.

Sorry. This was my rationale, word-for-word: Not notable. "Best known for his appearance on America's Got Talent" is not qualifying, particularly since he was rejected. The numerous other contestants in America's Got Talent and American Idol do not have articles unless they achieved notability elsewhere or at least made it to the top ten. I noticed Twinkle hadn't created the page, but wanted to give it a day as I have experienced delays from Twinkle before. — the Man in Question (in question) 18:08, 26 August 2010 (UTC) reply
Oops, I forgot that this was a dancer and not a singer, but still, I'm not convinced by the sources reliable enough to establish notability.

He has also appeared to a lesser extent in the Badger Herald, the largest independent student newspaper in USA, Wisconsin Week, and also pictured in the Chicago Sun Times. According to the general notability guidelines the above 3 newspapers with links are reliable sources and Vinokur was the main person covered in all three independent sources. I believe this serves as reliable evidence. According to his website, the subject should be appearing on Big Ten Network Television September 10th which will also add to his notability.
I hope you would kindly consider the points above and would appreciate your help greatly in hopefully improving the article. -- User:Mikeghersh —Preceding undated comment added 21:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC). reply
I appreciate the author's effort to provide some sources, but as Kinu said, a student-run newspaper does not have the same editorial oversight as the Washington Post, especially when it comes to stories about their peers. Furthermore, this person seems to be a local star, not a worldwide famous person, as the article asserts that he is "best known" for his appearances on America's Got Talent. I'm sorry for Mikeghersh but IMO the page still fails WP:GNG. Joaquin008 ( talk) 10:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC) reply
