Winning a very obscure beauty pageant isn't going to satisfy WP:BIO and WP:GNG. The subject may also want this deleted (the request seems to have been overwritten by the Afd notice). Clarityfiend (talk) 23:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Keep It's not an obscure beauty pageant, it's at the provincial level and one of the top 4 titles in Courage Productions' annual pageant, which are each in their own category (i.e. this is a first place win in her category, not 4th place, the same way a Mrs. BC is not even a contender for Miss BC due to marital status). The Miss Charity BC title is a good title, it's provincial in Canada, similar to state-level in U.S. so it's basically like winning Miss Alaska, so are you going to nominate Debbe Ebben too? If all state-level beauty queen winners in the U.S. can have an article, then why discriminate against provincial-level beauty queen winners in Canada? However, if she wants it deleted, that's another matter - first of all I don't understand why, because the article is complimentary and not defamatory. Secondly, can someone educate me - are people able to request Wikipedias be removed about them? Just seems strange to me, like a criminal could decide he doesn't want an article about him and he can just request that it be removed? Thanks for any info. --Wiki2008time (talk) 01:03, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not at all like Miss Alaska. Also, if someone doesn't want an article, if they are of marginal notability they can certainly request a courtesy deletion. This topic is covered at WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, but hopefully it's discussed in greater detail somewhere else. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see how it's not like Miss Alaska. This is a provincial-level title, and Miss Alaska is state level, and Canada has provinces where the U.S. has states. However, if she can request a courtesy deletion, who am I to disagree. I thought I was flattering a beauty queen, not offending her. --Wiki2008time (talk) 06:00, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Miss BC may be equivalent to Miss Alaska (debatable), but Miss Left-handed Nurse BC or any other qualified titles are definitely not. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:12, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * NOTE: If this will end up being deleted, please at least redirect to Miss Charity BC. I merged the most useful info on there anyway. --Wiki2008time (talk) 23:25, 17 June 2020 (UTC)


 * delete as per my comments on related AFDs. Unless there is significant in depth coverage of her hiding away somewhere, winning or placing in non-notable pageants doesn't mean she's notable. Praxidicae (talk) 14:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete To be notable as a pageant winner a person has to win a national level pageant, and even that alone is not a gaurantee of notability, just the point at which the coverage may be enough to justify notability. Sub-national pageant winners are never notable for such per se, although a very few get so much coverage in the process they become notable, but that is very rare. It is clearly not the case here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment About the Miss Alaska question, we have determined that state level contestants in the Miss America pageant are not notable for such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:55, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The analogy to Miss Alaska ignores the fact that we had one article on all 66 winner of Miss Alaska. The one we have only has an article because she got a very brief coverage because she won the contest after she had shaved her head to donate her hair to people getting treatments for cancer. I have nominated even that article for deletion because it does not actually meet our inclusion guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:07, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
