The speedy deletion and issue templates
As you are not the sole article creator, you can't remove the speedy deletion template yourself. If you want to contest the speedy deletion, please do so on Talk:List of Miss Crown International titleholders. If your vote wins, the speedy deletion template will eventually be removed. As for the issues templates, those can be taken away after you improve the article to the point when those templates don't apply anymore. Regards, Philmonte101 (talk) 08:33, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Please stop
Please do not create anymore articles regarding Miss Crown International. If it's being speedied on one page, it hurts the encyclopedia to make more. I've already created the next page on the template with the awards list, which was probably your next goal. Maybe I shouldn't have done that, but I did it to let people know to delete all the content, and to let you know that everything about Miss Crown International is unsourceable at the moment.

Notability
I've deleted the articles and thought I'd explain why. The basic gist is that ultimately the article did not show how the pageant was notable, nor did a search bring up anything to show that the pageant was notable. To be honest, there really wasn't anything to show that the pageant actually exists. In order to establish why the pageant would merit an article you need to provide sourcing to show how it's notable. This can be done by showing newspaper coverage of the event, for example. Since there were concerns that this might be a hoax, you also need to be able to establish that it exists, although I will warn you that events are not automatically notable because they occurred.

 * Additionally, for your list pages, please also see Stand-alone lists. You created several list articles charting only two or three people or events. Those lists are too short and should be only mentioned on the main article. In the case that a main topic is actually verifiable and notable, please consider going and looking at that page before creating a list page. Oh, and you need to put categories and references on lists too. Thanks for your contributions. The fact that you tried still means a lot! Philmonte101 (talk) 10:34, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
