I wanted to delete this as this is useless and unneccessary. It is, just a simple page created by a hardcore fan just for the sake of it which it doesn't bear any relevance. - Omghgomg 06:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Undecided. I personally don't believe that a finalist on one of the "Idol" necessarily makes someone notable, or that it makes them a good candidate for Wikiquote/Wikipedia articles. However, it seems that the larger consensus at Wikipedia is different, as the page there is quite active and has not been nominated for deletion. Our page needs some serious cleanup, and most (if not all; it's hard to tell just from looking where one quote ends and another begins) of the "sourced" material is dialogue, not just quotes from this person (the "unsourced" material is better about this). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to Australian Idol. Even American Idol doesn't seem to have any contestants quoted on Wikiquote yet (as evidenced by the lack of a Category:Reality TV show contestants and no relevant links to the article). Without sources, it seems likely that these quotes are coming from the show, which is the only thing making any of these folks notable (at first, and ever for most of them). The quotes themselves are quite quotidian. (Sorry; I couldn't resist the alliteration. &#9786;) If we keep this article, the only thing that seems even slightly quoteworthy are the lyrics, which may need to be trimmed to avoid copyvio. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
