per WP:MUSIC, only meets criteria 12. Avono♂ (talk) 18:36, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for now. He doesn't even meet criteria 12 of WP:MUSIC (or, god forbid, if he did that would mean every contestant on a reality TV singing competition getting an entry on Wikipedia). Several Belgium newspapers have reported the announcement about Eurovision [1][2][3] but none of them give any biographical info other than saying he was a finalist on The Voice Belgique. I'd describe it as a WP:ONEEVENT situation at the moment and, maybe, the article could be re-created when Nottet has actually done something beyond reality TV.

• Strong keep: Several reliable Eurovision websites confirm that the artist will be representing Belgium at the biggest music contest - Eurovision Song Contest. And you cannot get any more official confirmation than Eurovision.tv, the contest's official website. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 17:00, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• keep - clearly notable via reliable sources for his Eurovision participation. --BabbaQ (talk) 19:56, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Enough has been said. It's also worth taking into account that all artists participating in the Eurovision Song Contest gets massive coverage before the contest, during the contest, and after the contest. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 23:10, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Strong keep: Notable through taking part in Eurovision, as all Eurovision participants get their own articles. Also took part and placed in the biggest music contest in Belgium. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 02:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep a country's Eurovision rep is enough to meet notability--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 03:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I cannot understand why this has been relisted when it is clearly a snowball clause to keep the article, especially when additional sources have been provided to show notability! Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 16:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Wesley Mouse: At the time the discussion was relisted (prior to the two !votes that follow it), consensus was not existent for snow article retention as you state above. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• There were Three !votes for Keep with rationales. Had it been one Keep and three Delete !votes it would have been deleted. I just find it odd. (no reflection on you Northamerica1000).--BabbaQ (talk) 17:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• I for one can't understand all the 'Keep' votes which suggest he's already participated in Eurovision. They're plainly confused or misguided. Sure, if he eventually takes part in 2015 he will undoubtedly get a lot of coverage. But that's for the future, not now. Sionk (talk) 20:34, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• No one has suggested that he has already participated. They are stating that because he has been confirmed for ESC that participation and honor gives him notability, and so has been the standard over the years on Wikipedia. ESC is notable for singers/bands that are confirmed as participants.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:48, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: As long as he is confirmed as the Belgian singer in Eurovision 2015, he should of course have his own article - as have all other contestants. But perhaps the article should omit informations that are not sourced. F.e. there is no source to his day of birth. Aejsing (talk) 13:19, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
