[edit] Miss Teen of America

Miss Teen of America (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable teen beauty pageant. Note, this is not Miss Teen America which was up for AFD not too long ago. This is part of a series by User:Mtoa. Sources are blogs and general links to internet magazines that may or may not have covered this at some time. In any case not reliable sources to write an article from. Image is probably also a copyvio. — coelacan — 05:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable (and possibly fake) pageant. The fact that the "official" site is a Tripod site hurts the credibility. It's like being hosted on Geocities. TJ Spyke 05:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

this is also hosted at tripod http://misswesternnewyork.tripod.com/ and it's an OFFICIAL miss america preliminary you can double check at www.missamerica.org to see for yourself

you can also view a fully paid for ad for miss teen of america and miss western new york in supermodels unlimited magazine and pageantry magazine —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtoa (talk • contribs)

• Please sign your comments. It still fails WP:N for not having any reliable sources. TJ Spyke 06:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep For an overall article, I found enough news articles about pagaent happenings and mention on several school websites. Be careful to make sure you take special care when researching as noted by the nom. Autocracy 08:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note, I consider the school websites fair enough notable sources as he information published about such event on an official school site and page can be assumed subject to independant review. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Autocracy (talk • contribs) 08:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC).
• Strong Delete per comments in first vote. Real organizations have real websites and are covered in major media sources. Until this org. (real or not) reaches that standard, it is non-notable. Antonrojo 14:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Antonrojo. There are a lot of pageants out there, many of which are non-notable. In this case, not only is this pageant's web site hosted at Tripod (rather than having a domain of its own), but the Tripod site is a placeholder page with no content. The pageant should receive mainstream news coverage before it gets a Wikipedia page. --Metropolitan90 17:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete My first impression of this page is not as positive as I would have expected it to be by the title. Also, a non-notable pageant in my "eyes". TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 17:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:ORG, WP:N, WP:ATT and other policies and guidelines. Wikipedia is not for making things notable; it's for things that are already notable. The vast majority of pageants are not. --Charlene 20:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
