[edit] Miss America 1994
Looks like a copy and paste edit. Fails to establish notability for own article. Hammer1980·talk 20:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Redirect to Kimberly Clarice Aiken. We don't need an article about each year's pageant. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)- In fact, we do have individual articles for nearly twenty editions of the pageants (see Template:Miss America), and I don't know that most have any particular assertion of notability beyond "this was the XXth Miss America pageant" (as would, I'd suppose, be quite sufficient, since I'd imagine that each iteration of a prominent, notable pageant should be necessarily notable) or any particular coverage beyond an enumeration of the event particulars and finalists (as would, I'd suggest, be sufficient content to merit a standalone article), such that, notwithstanding that the instant article is un-wikified and suboptimally formatted, each should probably be disposed of in the same fashion as is this.

- Wow. Wikipedia(ns) thoroughness surprises (and slightly worries) me yet again. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 20:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

- Weak Keep article needs complete re-doing but the topic itself surely got considerable new coverage in 1994 and hence is WP:N. JJL (talk) 21:56, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm sure it got plenty of coverage when it was happening. I also took the time to reformat this per the conventions present in Miss America 2007. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 00:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

- Weak keep It meets the standards for being kept, though I suggest that a merged article would make more sense, unless it is planned to add significantly more information than just the names of the place, the winner and the top 5 contestants. DGG (talk) 01:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
