  • Notability is determined by the amount of coverage they get. Anyway, showing them as current contestants seems good as this will be helpful to our readers. Not sure that we need a link to the third series though as there's already one at the top. Perhaps that could be retitled Current rather than 3 to make it stand out.

"Notable alumni" would condense the row to one line and it's as descriptive as "Other notable former contestants" anyway.

With regards to dispute See Here and edit wars. There needs to be a consensus on what should go in the first series runner up bit. Considering they only announced Paul Potts as winner. Suggestions on the explanation needed to clarify that there was only a Winner given in series 1. 2nd / 3rd came in from series 2 onwards and maybe that at the time all loosing finalists were called "runners up" . I don't know how best to reference the show episode and the official videos on the ITV site like http://talent.itv.com/videos/video/item_200049.htm.

I will look for good evidence that we can use on Wikipedia, I have searched the press articles in the day after and they only refer to the Winner and those who lost out rather than any mention of 2nd or 3rd, completely different than series 2 & 3 reports. The internet videos of the results show show them all being asked on stage and Paul Potts announced, in series 2 and 3 the top three are asked to remain on stage and they give 2nd and 3rd, silver and bronze positions effectively.--Holkingers (talk) 13:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-02T13:33:00.000Z","author":"Holkingers","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Holkingers-2009-06-02T13:33:00.000Z-This_flag_once_was_red-2009-06-02T13:09:00.000Z","replies":["c-This_flag_once_was_red-2009-06-02T13:35:00.000Z-Holkingers-2009-06-02T13:33:00.000Z"]}}-->
It occurs to me that it might be worth looking for sources around series 2, since that's likely to be when deviations from series 1 will most likely be mentioned.

Maybe, but I can't find anything so far! Plenty of post-series 2 references to second- and third-place, no post-series 1 references to anything other than the winner, but nothing that explicitly states that.

  • I propose changing "Runners-up" to "Second Place" as per WP:BrE. In the UK we commonly call anyone who isn't the winner as one of the "runners-up". Examples - Escala called "runners up" in the Telegraph Newspaper [1], seven runners up in the Daily Mail [2] The fact that Connie, Damon or for that matter anyone else has been referred to in a source as "runner up" doesn't give adequate proof they were 2nd. --Holkingers (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-02T14:29:00.000Z","author":"Holkingers","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Holkingers-2009-06-02T14:29:00.000Z-This_flag_once_was_red-2009-06-02T13:09:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I rememeber reading at the time that Damon Scott had come second in an article, but I think that it should just be left if theres no source. I think Connie Talbot was the ASUMED runner-up at the time, because she was tipped by most to actually win, I dont think there was ever any confirmation that she had come second. All they announced on the show was that Paul Potts had won. :) (Kyleofark (talk) 22:02, 3 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-03T22:02:00.000Z","author":"Kyleofark","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kyleofark-2009-06-03T22:02:00.000Z-Dispute","replies":[]}}-->

This is for not only this template, but all templates covering a international television edition of the Got Talent franchise. Under the section in this template denoted as "Other Notable Contestant", how should this field be defined by editors? Please answer with the following; more than one choice may be given, but please explain your reasoning:

  • A The contestant made a notable career for themselves before appearing on a Got Talent programme.
  • B The contestant became notable for their performance during their appearance on a Got Talent programme.
  • C The contestant became notable for beginning a career after appearing on a Got Talent programme.

The need to define this section is due to the amount of Wikilinks being used in templates crafted with this section, such as Template:Britain's Got Talent and Template:America's Got Talent. Its need clear clarification to editors how this should be defined as in terms of relevant articles/subject matter.

  • D, the individual was a contestant and we now have an article about them. We shouldn't care when or why the individual became notable; if we say "Other notable contestants", that means they were once a contestant and are, as of today, notable by our standards.

Comment: That's not a choice, because that doesn't clarify the notability at all. If you say "by our standards", that infers we are saying it is notable from fixed viewpoint, not a neutral one. Furthermore, how exactly they are notable in the programme has to be made clear - was it something they did before appearing; was it something they did when they appeared; or did they become notable after appearing on the program, in terms of other performances in other areas and such like?

Answer: The issue is what is the notability about them in relevance to the Got Talent edition they performed in - how we define that is important. Yes, a person is notable for an article, and if there was not a section for Winners, Runners-up and Third Place, then putting down notable contestants would be easy to do by linking to articles of respective performers who contributed to the program's success or went on to develop a career/continue to bolster their career. But because we got those sections already, we need to be clear on defining what "Other Notable Contestants" should reflect in the template. The above user says that what is notable is that they were once a contestant, but that is not notable enough for them to be included in the template unless there is a clear definition beyond just being a contestant.

  • D - any notable contestant, regardless of when notability happened. I've been thinking of this since the bot summoned me, but I still fail to see the value of this RFC. The relationship between BGT and the notability of its contestants doesn't really need to be defined. Comparable to alumni lists for universities, or templates for award recipients who could be notable for other reasons. A,B,C are too limiting.

  • D: I fail to see why there should be any differentiation beyond "winner, runner up, third and other". In my opinion, if they're notable and were a contestant, it doesn't really matter why - they should be listed. Also, per Urve, alumni lists for universities and schools don't list any ties beyond "they went to this school and are now notable" - why would this be different?
