BLARed due to lack of apparent notability but it turns out there was a past AfD in 2009 so we can't do that. Same reasoning still applies from there: from the sources I saw in my BEFORE search, he hardly gets mentioned even in articles about his season of American Idol. Redirect to
American Idol (season 4)#Top 12 finalists.

Delete: Although (1) its plausible this entry is or may one day be of interest to Wikipedian fans of American Idol, (2) the claims contained in the article are supported by reliable sources ...
... the lack of coverage, both in-depth, and assessed collectively means that this entry doesn't meet SIGCOV requirements of GNG or an SNG
Sadly, this is an instance where applying guidelines requires destruction of a knowledge source, irrespective of other considerations; including collateral damage to this website's wider mission and purpose Jack4576 (

Do keep in mind that there is already a brief bio on the subject at the redirect target I suggested above, and that can be expanded with the sources presented here. If you prefer a merger, and it sounds like you might, then you should consider that option.

Keep There is significant coverage found about him on
Newspapers.com, including from St. Louis Post-Dispatch (
Part 1,
Part 2), The Belleville News-Democrat (
Part 1,
Part 2) and The Atlanta Constitution[1] (roughly half of it is prose, rest Q&A)

None of those showed up in my search so I'm glad you found 'em. Certainly looks like plenty enough to keep this around after all. Withdrawn. Thanks
Alvaldi!
