Was redirected to

American Idol (season 2)#Top 12 finalists by User:Bgsu98, then restored by User:Jpcase
with the rationale: "Has released multiple albums since he was on Idol. I'm not sure that redirecting this is the correct course."

The redirect was restored by User:Onel5969, with the rationale: "Restore redirect - not enough in-depth coverage to show that they pass WP:GNG".

The article was then restored by User:Aspects with the rationale: "rv redirect that was already contested and per WP:BRD, there should be a WP:MERGE discussion or an WP:AFD."

The previous AfD was closed on largely procedural grounds, due to a rapid-fire nomination of many other American Idol contestants at the same time. The only genuine keep rationale offered was due to a (now inactive) WikiProjects own guideline which never reached the status of an actual notability guideline.

  • (update based on below: Keep) Comment. Here's some coverage, that while related to the show is indeed about the subject:
    • "During his days on the show, Grigsby's style could be defined by two simple concepts: a hat on the head, and the color blue on the body. "He's basically a hat person and he'll wear any kind," says stylist Siggins. "We totally embraced it," adds Banowetz, who says Grigsby's "minimal hair" helped with the hats. "He looked great in them." ... followed by a quote from subject.

    • "Fourteen million viewers of Fox's American Idol who called in decided to bounce Charles Grigsby from the competition Wednesday night. Grigsby, 24, a part-time supermarket clerk from Oberlin, Ohio, had sung You Can't Win from The Wiz on Tuesday's movie-themed performances.
