Seemingly non-notable local beauty pageant winner. Notability completely hinges on her future participation in the national pageant, and all sources are just local. --fuzzy510 06:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC) fuzzy510 06:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Tennessee-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 08:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable based on past and current activities, future prospects cannot be used to satisfy WP:BIO because Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --SquidSK ^(1MC•log) 09:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Miss Teen USA 2007. This state winner will compete in the national contest. These AFD nominations are deceitful in that they characterize the winner of a state contest as being winner of a local contest, misleading those who !vote to delete on that basis. Many U.S. state are larger geographically and demographically and in their economies than many countries in the world, and should not be dismissed as "local", so I request the nominator to rephrase these noms as "state" rather than local, to avoid the possibiility of any deletions being taken to review.

• These nominations are completely accurate in characterizing them as winners of local contests since, you know, they are. Note especially none of the ones I've looked at -- not a single one -- has any 3rd-party sources other than the most local of media, namely the girls' hometown newspaper/TV station saying hey, this local girl won this here beauty pageant. And half don't even have THAT figleaf of a "reliable source" buttressing their claims to fame. --Calton | Talk 20:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete agree about calling them state, disagree about redirecting--not necessary, as there wont be any information there. Google will suffice.DGG 16:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I am a supporter of state Beauty Queens. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• And I am a supporter of my local dry cleaners, but it doesn't make them in the least encyclopedic. --Calton | Talk 20:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Straight-up failure of WP:BIO, WP:ATTRIBUTION, etc. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annilie Hastey, Articles for deletion/Sommer Isdale, et al, and and their deletion reviews. Been there, done that. --Calton | Talk 20:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: Per Edison's request, I apologize if my nomination was considered as being "deceitful". However, since proper consideration of the issue would require both reviewing the article and prior arguments, and since it is abundantly clear which pageant the subject won, I will not be changing my initial rationale. fuzzy510 22:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:BIO. >Radiant< 11:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
