Reverts

Please see Misplaced Pages:Revert before reverting a page with legitimate content. If you have an issue with the page's content, specify it, notify the author, or use the talk page. Edit warring is bad practice. - Io Katai (talk) 16:43, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

The page should stay as a redirect. The details for all the singers from series 6 of The X Factor are in a list article. None of them are independently notable yet, so there is no need for any of them to have separate articles. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Then simply move the content rather removing it completely. The same thing happens every time such a show occurs. You're just going to continue edit warring over such petty nonsense that the page will end up being created anyways. Can you really dictate when a page is created? Why not do it in reverse, and contribute material to expand other contestants' articles? This is the American Idol fiasco all over again.
And notability isn't based on your own opinion, it's per Misplaced Pages:Notability. Read the the page. - Io Katai (talk) 16:52, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes it does happen every time a show occurs. We end up with dozens of articles on people who aren't notable outside of the show they appeared on. That's why we created the list articles. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:28, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

Member "142" - why are you removing the information about newspaper reports that Joe is gay? Also "142" don't send me messages, you're not above me so don't act like it. - Whitebrightlight (talk) 20:28, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Your contributions fail WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:VAND. Please see Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons and Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not for further information on contributing to Misplaced Pages. - Io Katai (talk) 21:08, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
