Evelyn Bly

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

She won Miss Alaska USA back in 1960. That is the only thing about her that is at all notable. Her being in the category living people may or may not be accurate, but there is no indication anyone has paid any attention to her life in the last 65 years to know.

 * Delete - non-notable. Blythwood (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject lacks notability. Miss Alaska is not notable enough to warrant a BLP. Meatsgains (talk) 18:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: I'd be willing to change my mind on this one, given that it was 1960 and there is apt to be a paucity of sources.  At the very least, I hope there is a Miss USA 1960 page (or Miss America, whichever this was) where the name can be listed.  Montanabw (talk)  18:24, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable for stand alone article. Can be mentioned in Miss Alaska USA article. Kierzek (talk) 02:47, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment There is Miss USA 1960, but it only lists the 15 top delegates who placed, Bly was not one of those. There is no inherent reason the page cannot be expanded. On another note, I am very familiar with information regardling Latter-day Saints. I know the two Latter-day Saints who won Miss America both merited inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History. Sharlene Wells Hawkes is a household name in Mormon circles, but the fact that I personally knew her brother and nieces, and the fact that her father was a general authority in the LDS Church make this hard to attribute just to her. On the other hand I remember reading as a freshman at BYU an article in the university paper where they quoted her lamenting that the school no longer had a homecoming queen. That was in 1999, 14 years after her 1999 win.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:36, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, not enough notability nor contents for a stand alone article. Cavarrone 15:32, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per above.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:36, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
