[edit] Mister Iraq and related articles

Mister Iraq (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Miss Iraq (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Talat Model Management (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Iraqi Model Searches (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable male pageant. Can't seem to find any reliable sources that verify the claims made about the contest, so it fails WP:A. Also reads incredibly like a press release or an advertisement, both violations of WP:SOAPBOX. Also nominating Miss Iraq for the same reasons as it's male counterpart (unattributed and written like an advertisement), as well as two further articles noted below.

• Delete - no independent sources are provided to establish notability per WP:N. Also possible WP:COI issues, as the author is User:Mriraq. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 10:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete theres no indipendent refs and does read like an ad. amazin that even the war didnt stop them? pity no pics tho!--Zedco 11:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete; violates WP:SPAM (and arguably WP:NONSENSE, but I won't quibble on that point) --Mhking 15:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Further searching of the creator's history find these other articles (both of which I'm tossing into this nomination):
  • Talat Model Management (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), the company that supposedly runs the two pageants, and
  • Iraqi Model Searches (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), a talent search run by the above company

Theses subjects both lack any independent reliable sources about them, meaning they also fail WP:A. A quick search of "Talat Model Management" brings up a Tripod page who cites the Wikipedia articles as sources for some of their content. Looks like a mini-walled garden being set up here.

• Delete based mostly on interactions with Mriraq and his contributions to related pages: Miss Iraq and Claudia_Hanna. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete seems like nonsense. Artaxiad 21:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete not notable and horribly written.--Sefringle 02:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
