• Delete. Non-notable. -- Jared Hunt July 30, 2006, 10:19 (UTC)
• Weak Keep because she was Miss Kentucky in 1997.NawlinWiki 14:50, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Update: removed the "weak" from my vote because she has another reason for notability -- she sued[1] the pageant committee for failing to pay all of her scholarship money. I've added that to the article. NawlinWiki 16:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Weak artilce, but Miss Kentucky is a reasonable page with a number of links (including links to similar state sites). I've never seen a pageant and hope I never see one—but they are common, newsworthy and followed by many people worldwide. If we are going to delete all the Miss America & State pageants links that already exist out there (just follow the links from Miss Kentucky) we've got a tremendous amount of work ahead of us. That so many folks think it is encylopedic probably indicates there is some merit—guess the merit is in pop culture. Williamborg (Bill) 15:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom; I see nothing notable in a lawyer filing a lawsuit, nor in a pageant contestant per se ... I doubt, for instance, that anyone here could tell me who was last year's Miss Kentucky without looking it up. She had her fifteen minutes of fame, now she's done. RGTraynor 19:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable as dual-winner of the Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky USA pageants and for the scholarship suit. —C.Fred (talk) 21:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Definitely notable for both sourced media coverage and for winning both Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky USA. Allisonmontgomery69 23:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Winner of notable contest. Attic Owl 01:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No evidence of meeting WP:BIO standards. Additionally, the only facts in the article that are verfied (as opposed to verifiable, which I haven't tested) are the name, the two wins, the total scholarship amount and the lawsuit. We really should remove all other facts from the article until sources are provided. GRBerry 14:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per NawlinWiki; subject meets the standards for notability, if barely. VoiceOfReason 22:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per new sourcing... rootology (T) 08:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
