Jones was a local news reporter and Miss Alabama. Miss Alabama is not enough to make her notable, and her local reporting career is not enough to propel her to notability either. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:16, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Miss Alabama as a valid search term, and the subject is mentioned there, in part as the 2005 winner. North America1000 09:11, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. Discussion about notability guidelines has already started on the Talk page for the Beauty Pageant project.  No harm will be done by closing this nomination as "keep" and letting the project-level discussion take its course.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 05:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes harm will be done by closing this page as keep. Pages should only be closed keep if it is concluded that the subject actually is notable, especially when the subject is a living person. Exposing non-notable living people to having an article in Wikipedia can create great harm. Beyond this, a small project related to beauty pageants is not at all the right place to discuss the notability issues. It is this type of parochialism that keeps up the over abundance of articles on non-notable people in Wikipedia. Lastly, a discussion that might result in rules that create some sort of guidelines actually is reason to delete. It is clear that few people advocate for the notion that all state beauty pageant winners are notable. There is no harm in deleting the article because it clearly does not meet our guidelines at present. Nominating articles for deletion is a time consuming process, and thousands of articles that come no where near meeting notability guidelines nonetheless exist, sometimes for over a decade, because it is so much easier to create than to delete an article. Keeping articles on merely procedural grounds is not a wise idea.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and Redirect as none of thid amounts to the needed independent notability, simply having a few pageant shows is not enough. SwisterTwister   talk  15:23, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss Alabama as valid search term. -- Dane 2007  talk 18:59, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
