Article about an eliminated contestant in a reality show. The article absolutely fails to cite any reliable sources Ohconfucius 06:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as fifteen minutes of fame does not make one notable. If anyone can show that his music is of note, or anything else notable for that matter, then he might barely pass muster. Someguy1221 07:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete being a game show contestant does not make one inherently notable. Resolute 04:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep as he gets 1,000's of Ghits, see [1]. Personally, I think that show so bad as to be a sign that It's the End of the World as We Know It, but he seems to have a cult following. Bearian 20:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Neutral, leaning delete. He has released 2 albums under the name 'Marcelino Palomino', though I can't say whether they've had any success. This article in The Arizona Republic provides a fair bit of biographical information for a stub and he also has a biography at CD Baby, though I'm not sure that's a reliable source (I don't deal much with articles on musicians). His name gets a few hits in Google News, though most of the coverage is about his elimination. He was also interviewed by Buddy TV (not sure what that is). On the one hand, he is a top 20, but he was also eliminated in the first round. Black Falcon (Talk) 22:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
