 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Orphaned since 2015. Seems to be a non-notable beauty pageant winner and model to me, does have a couple of references but nothing that suggests to me she's important enough for encyclopedic inclusion. Others may disagree so listing. KaisaL (talk) 12:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:N. It does not assert notability. It also does not have any sources whatsoever: see WP:V. BlackVolt (talk) 12:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There is the absolute weakest of sources for her status as Miss Rwanda USA in 2014 - the link to BAU International University. Certainly the vast majority is unsourced, but there is a link proving she's a real person. KaisaL (talk) 13:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. To me, the more difficult questions would be whether the pageant is notable (despite not having an article here) and whether the winners of this ten-years-running pageant might be notable.  But that's not the question here.  The subject was a contestant in, but not a winner of, the pageant.  And I'm seeing nothing else in the article that would confer notability, either.  By the way, the article does contain a direct link to the subject's page on the pageant's web site, which strikes me as a pretty strong source for her status as a contestant.

 * Delete Winner of a non-notable beauty pageant. I have to admit I have not kept up with some of these debates. Has it been decided whether the winners of US state level pageants (say Miss Nevada and Miss Nevada USA) are notable or not by default or whether you need significant sustained coverage?John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per NewYorkActuary, though if the Miss Africa USA pageant is deemed notable, then indeed, reassessment might be a question. And if so, Johnpacklambert's question of how far we follos the qualification tree we go for pageants is relevant. This is perhaps a broader discussion that should be held, somewhere.

 * You're right -- there are plenty of pageant-related questions that ought to be discussed in a context that is broader than an AfD case. Perhaps one of these days we'll see one or two of those discussions on the Talk page of WikiProject Pageants.  But in this particular case, I don't think we need the broader context.  This pageant is not structured the same way as, say, Miss USA or Miss America.  The latter pageants have a well-defined "feeder" structure (i.e., winners of the state-level pageants proceed to the national-level pageant).  Here, contestants make their applications directly to the national organization and, when making their applications, they declare the particular African country from which they trace their ancestry (at least one parent must have been born in that country).  If in any particular year, there is only one applicant claiming ancestry to a particular country, then that applicant automatically becomes Miss ThatCountry USA.  The organization's web site is silent on what happens when two or more applicants are claiming ancestry to the same country.  But the web site did have those little news things (Twitters? FaceBooks?) showing that two contestants, Miss Cameroun USA and Miss Ghana USA, were selected on the same day in Washington, D.C.  And judging from the photographs, it looks like the ceremony was held in one of those hotel break-out rooms that often are used in business conventions.  Winning Miss Africa USA might or might not be Wiki-notable, but being a contestant almost certainly is not.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:58, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
