Last two AFD's closed as "no consensus". Rationale same as last time: Seems to fail WP:MUSIC. All coverage comes from the time that he won CMT's Next Superstar, with no subsequent coverage whatsoever. This seems to be a case similar to Angela Hacker, who won a season of Nashville Star but received no coverage after the fact.

• Keep – I'm repeating myself from the previous discussions as well: In my view, the "keep" consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) was not at all unreasonable. There's coverage of him beyond just news of his Next Superstar win (in 2011), for example in the Dayton Daily News I found there is coverage from 2012, and also a bit of coverage of him touring in 2013 (Don Thrasher. "The Top", Dayton Daily News 26 July 2013: p. AC.3). Paul Erik ^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:09, 1 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Keep. He's notable for the one competition and has also received coverage outside of that event. Ca2james ( talk) 00:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• @ Northamerica1000:  Please correct your closure at the third AfD, remove the WP:NPASR, and then procedurally close this AfD.  This topic has been at AfD since 29 July 2014, more than eight weeks.  The community has made a clear expression of opinion, that this is not a topic that currently needs discussion at AfD.  Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 23:39, 3 October 2014 (UTC) reply
