Erin O'Kelley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

O'Kelley is not only notable for winning Miss North Carolina USA, but so much so only notable for that that the article is stuck in time. The article still says O'Kelley is a junior at North Carolina State University, which she was in 2006-2007 when the article was created, but clearly is not 10 years later. Yet she is of so little note that not only do no editors bother to change this statement, but there are no sources to update it either other than a linkedin profile, that I am only mostly sure is for the same person. Her previous win in the teen competition is so minor, we do not even have contemporary sources on it, and it appears to me that the Charlotte Observer article used as a source is probably more on O'Kelley's successor than on her.

 * Delete: Subject won Miss North Carolina USA 2007 that is not enough to confer notability. One reference (Charlotte Observer) lists "Eyes on the crown, with eyes on her", a dead link (Asheville Citizen-Times) listed twice "Roberson grad savoring thrills of Miss North Carolina crown", and a way back machine reference that names a "Sarah Chakales" and "Jenelle Vannoy" receiving scholarships. A search brought up a listing at the Donna Baldwin Agency and this Wikipedia article. The bottom line is that this article will never advance pass a stub pseudo-biography. She does not meet the basic criteria for an article. Otr500 (talk) 10:35, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
