The result was procedural close. This is Article for Deletion, not Requests for Redirect. Discussions as to the appropriateness of redirecting belong on the article talk page. Skomorokh 23:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Auditionee in reality TV series who we don't even know if he's made it to the final 12 contestants yet. He has no notability outside of his single audition, so WP:1E applies. I redirected the article twice to The X Factor (UK series 6) but have been reverted both times. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Wikipedia is not just for posterity. It is for right now, and right now people are going to want to read about him. Deleting this would only reduce Wikipedia's usefulness. Policies be damned, this guy's performance was the best thing I've ever seen on telly, and others agree so they will want to see an article about him.

- Please note that WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid argument. Cheers, I'mperator 23:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy close and discuss on talk page whether to redirect or not. This is not a place to solve any article problems. If worst comes to worst, go to ANI or MEDCAB. Cheers, I'mperator 23:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect per WP:1E. From the nominators statement I note that this seems to be his first choice; Articles for Deletion is for deletion, not to resolve editing disputes. If you are being reverted, get a third opinion to establish some form of consensus. Ironholds (talk) 00:49, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
