 * – ( View AfD View log )

Previously the subject of an AFD in 2008 which received relatively few comments. I have tried to source as part of the unreferenced BLP drive, but can't find any substantial secondary sources about this woman. As part of the drive, I've learnt that there are many of these Miss Canada (insert version) crowns, and given the lack of sources it seems clear to me that this person doesn't meet the grade per WP's notability criteria.

 * Delete The subject has not achieved notability to date. Lack of sources indicates a lack of importance. --Stormbay (talk) 03:50, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I would think lack of sources in the article are far more indicative of WP:NOEFFORT, and not of a lack of notability, as WP:ANYBIO seems to easily be met.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:50, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO. Yes, the article is in desperate need of sourcing, but apparently her career has not stood still and we have a number of decent assertions of notability which need better sourcing. Among the more notable, she won Binibining Pilipinas (Miss Philippines) International of British Columbia 2002, she is a former Miss Canada and was selected to represent Canada in the Miss Petite International 2003 pageant in Houston, Texas as Miss Canada, she placed as one of the Top 12 Finalists and, as a Finalist was also named Miss Photogenic, she was a columnist for The Philippine Journal and interviewed special Filipino talents, she won the title of Miss International Canada 2004, as was the only delegate to win the crown from BC, she represented Canada in the Miss International 2004 pageant in Tokyo, Japan & Beijing, China, she was recognized as "the most articulate candidate" among 58 contestants, she was named "one of the most successful representatives of Canada in the history of the Philippines", she had front cover and feature article in Pinoy Buzz Magazine (Vancouver), she was crowned and was Guest Judge at the Miss Vancouver pageant held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, she was featured in a number of Asian publications including Planet Philippines, Philippine Asian Chronicle, Mabuhay News, Philippine News Today, Philippine Journal, Philippine Hiyas News, Edmonton Journal, Filipino Sentinel, Pinoy Buzz, and Asian Post. Improvement seems do-able. It's just gonna take some work. Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:50, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for repeating all the unverified claims in the article. But have you actually got any reliable sources to support them? That's what's required to show notability.  Claiming that other editors haven't put in enough effort, as you did above, is totally inappropriate, and completely untrue, in my case. It is particularly inappropriate when it appears that you weren't able to find any either. --Slp1 (talk) 01:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the leap of good faith. That at least one reliable source lists these things would seem to allow a reasonable presumption that the information exists elsewhere even without you as the deletion nominator being able to find them. The source's email and contact information is provided on their website, and they may be happy to provide you with links to their own sources... however, I am not making a long distance call to Vancouver.

 * I will keep a watch on this article to see Schmidt's reliable sources. I must have missed them in the time I spent looking for sources prior to giving my opinion above. Stormbay (talk) 04:17, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No doubt.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 09:48, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. The source cited by Michael above is not an independent source reporting on the subject. Rather, it's the web site of a show on a community channel (somewhat like public-access television) for which the subject works as a correspondent, on a page providing the resumes of their correspondents. I suspect that all the information about the subject on that page was provided by the subject or someone representing her. While the producers of Pinoy Buzz Vancouver may be vouching for the accuracy of the subject's credentials, they are not an independent source that confirms the notability of those credentials. In terms of reliable independent sources, the best I have been able to find about the subject is three sentences referring to her in this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
