Merge proposal

Why was this template separated from "Template:The X Factor"? I propose that they should be remerged. Does anyone object? 04:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.9.157 (talk)

We used to list other contestants on Template:The X Factor but not all of them, to keep the size of it down. I'm guessing it was split so we could include all the contestants with articles and it wouldn't be such a huge template. I don't really see the need to merge them.

I don't see any benefit in keeping them separate. In what circumstances do we want to use one but not the other? 86.133.242.234 (talk) 04:27, 16 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Mollie King

Should Mollie King not be added in this since she was on the show twice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.16.113.185 (talk) 16:22, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We decided to not include anyone who didn't make it to Judges' Houses, so yes, she should not be added. –anemone projectors– 20:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Frankie Cocozza

Frankie should be added because he's just been part of a drugs incident and the first soloist ever to be ejected from TXF. (The Hope incidenr was not soloists) so what'dya think? Tez011 (talk) 17:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He doesn't have a separate article, so he should not be included here. He doesn't need one either. –anemone projectors– 14:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We can redirect it to List of finalists from S8 or whatever 'cos it's happened before if I'm correct, there should at least be a page on the controversy though-being a big news story and that. Tez011 (talk) 19:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's already redirected, but we don't include redirects, only articles. There is a controversy article but it needs updating. Feel free to do so. The series 8 article also needs a controversy section. –anemone projectors– 13:44, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
