Former beauty pageant contestant that does not meet WP:GNG and is a case of WP:BLP1E. Let'srun (talk) 01:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Women, Beauty pageants, and Wyoming. Let'srun (talk) 01:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This does not fit WP:BLP1E as she not only won Miss Wyoming, but came in as 3rd runner up at Miss America 2013, won Wyoming's Miss Junior Royal Miss in 2009 and won Miss Goshen County 2012. The 3rd runner-up spot at bigger pageants is basically a podium style finish at pageants, while say in something like racing, it would be seen as an average result. I feel the sources listed are enough to meet WP:GNG.KatoKungLee (talk) 01:15, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. Just want to note that the 2nd runner up and 1st runner up winners in this competition don't have articles so decent placement in a beauty contest is not an automatic qualifying factor in having a standalone article.

Delete. This is classic BLP1E. Each one of the presented cites (but for the wedding announcement) are local sources concerning her strictly local pageant wins eleven years ago. Any winner would have gotten this local coverage. As a living person, we owe the subject direct detailing with significant coverage in multiple reliable independent sources. We don't have any of that here, we only have pageant coverage from before she graduated college. And the wedding announcement, which is itself a blog post from her cousin who happened to professionally photograph the wedding (so doubly connected). As a matter of BLP policy, we need much more direct detailing and diverse sourcing before we should justify such an article. BusterD (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
