 * Redirect to Gladrags -I'm able to find some sort of coverage of subject in some Indian reliable sources such as, -,, . However, they simply are not adequate to establish GNG and justify a standalone article. Given that parent article "Gladrags" is a stub one, we may expand that one extracting contents from sources found. We must not add contents from existing article to parent article, they all appear to be an WP:OR being unsourced. As there are few reliable sources that mention the subject and there exists a parent article that is stub, a redirect to the parent article appears to me a good alternative to deletion.
 * I will also here note that there appears to be some coverage of subject in the Indian magazines too while doing Google Books search, but one is unable to take a closer look at them as they almost are having snippet view. Even if that's the case, -WP:RUNOFTHEMILL applies. The notability of the parent article is not established to this point, and we may use all these sources to make that one better. We really can't use same set of references to make two standalone articles. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  21:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. While the sourcing is poor at present, I can't fathom how these national contests could not be notable. Aside from poor refs, the article is quite well-done. The tables would serve as a handy central repository for various existing pageant contestant articles failing WP:Bio to be redirect/salted into. (In fact, even if the closing admin does delete this article, I recommend he not do so before checking all the "blue" names first.) Pax 08:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Gladrags Manhunt (when the contest was not unisex) was popular contest, their winners are notable actors John Abraham, Dino Morea, Zulfi Syed. It also sends winners as national representatives to Manhunt International. The female Contest, Megamodel, was never too famous. The contest was also part of a reality show on Channel V in 2013. There is coverage of the contest in the winner's biographies, plus annual coverage (photos) etc. in various magazines, telecast on TV etc. 2008 Outlook, 2001 India Today, 2008 Times of India.
