my understanding is that game show contestants are not considered notable for inclusion in WP. pageant contestant is essentially the same thing. Anastrophe (talk) 06:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep: She is not only a contestant, she was a runner-up of "Miss Earth 2007" pageant. The pageant show was a widely televised event and that itself should assert her notability. Arman (Talk) 07:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Obviously. --NAHID 10:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Comment: i'm not clear what is 'obvious' about it. by my reading of WP:Notability (People), she doesn't qualify as notable: "Participation in and in most cases winning individual tournaments, except the most prestigious events, does not make non-Athletic competitors notable. This includes, but is not limited to, Poker, Bridge, Chess, Magic:The Gathering, Starcraft, etc.". Anastrophe (talk) 18:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Reply: As Miss Earth is a global pageant this can easily be classified as one of "the most prestigious events". Had it been a national or regional pageant, there could be a debate. Arman (Talk) 07:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment - That what I was trying to convey. --NAHID 16:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
