I'm going to copy the article here, just so we're all on the same page in case it was deleted or edited or something:
'''Jellica Marie Mateo''' (Born April 10, 1983) also known as '''"Jeli"''', is a [[Philippine Idol]] Finalist for the show's first season.
{{nn-bio}}, in the English speaking world anyway. What speakers of Filipino think of her is entirely up to them, and should have nothing to do with what we think of her. Unless they can come up with something better than "Aww she so cute"...
The fact that we can say "nn-bio" on someone who was on a well-known television show is scary to me.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm practically trembling with fear. I've been on *several* well-known television shows, and nobody thinks I'm notable either! (Admittedly, the shows were news programs getting the reactions of passersby :-) but hey, why should that be an obstacle! I WAS ON TV! ZOMG!!)
Reminds me of the classic quote - "In the future, everyone will have an WP article for 15 minutes, then it goes to AfD."

I suspect, though I may be putting words in Jeff's mouth, that "someone who was a star of a well-known television show" is closer to what he meant to say.
