The result was delete. Seems like nothing here has people convinced that the topic meets notability criteria. The pageant itself might be notable, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:40, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Jessica Casebolt

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Casebolt was Miss Kentucky. That is the only claim that comes close to notability and that is not enough. I looked for more sources, and did not find anything. John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:31, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I see that you again have avoided putting an edit summary in the AfD nomination in the article diff. Why do you keep doing this if you hide in the darkness?  There is nothing in this article worthy of deletion.  All Miss Kentucky's satisfy WP:ANYBIO#1.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- coverage is all local as in "local person gets award"; nothing stands out about this contestant and a state-level pageant win is an insufficient claim to notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Except that Miss Kentucky is a well-known and widely recognized (recognized world-wide?) award, recognized for many years as one of the ways to compete in the annual Miss America pageant, and sufficiently significant as an award that once achieved identifies a person for the rest of their career. And your !vote doesn't deny that the topic passes WP:GNG?  Unscintillating (talk) 05:05, 20 December 2016 (UTC)


 * No, Miss Kentucky is not a "a well-known and widely recognized (recognized world-wide?) award". K.e.coffman (talk) 03:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails GNG and BLP. Insufficient coverage of this subject to merit an article on Wikipedia per GNG. There is only meagre coverage by a few local news outlets essentially reporting only that she won Miss Kentucky 2012. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:33, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Unscintillating had the audacity of accusing me of "engaging in personal attacks" on my talk page, when here he claims I "hide in darkness" when in fact I post notices to the pages that clearly indicate to anyone who actually goes to the page it has been nominated for deletion. Unscintalating continues to try to bully those who dare have a different vision for inclusion in Wikipedia than he does, and to make totally false claims about what fits any bio. Winning a US-state level beauty pageant is not a high award of the type any bio refers to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note JPL has responded here to a post I made on his talk page, but I will respond there.  I have also started there an informal RfC about AfDs posted without edit summaries.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:53, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Aside from winning a beauty pageant and receiving the customary local news coverage, there isn't much to support a Wikipedia article.  Magnolia677 (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, one remedy for that is to look for sources. The second is to consider the WP:ATD, for example, is there a possibility of merge to create a mini-bio at a suitable target?  Unscintillating (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm inclined to agree that the coverage is WP:ROUTINE about the beauty pageant. I see no lasting effects of this event or in terms of notability for this individual. Mkdw talk 01:33, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * We have no article on Miss Kentucky 2012, and arguing against the notability of this event is a straw man. The last clause switches from the straw man to stating without further development that the individual Jessica Casebolt fails Wikipedia notability as an event.  Those two conclusions are irrelevant.  But even if we consider Jessica Casebolt as a non-notable event, where is the analysis of the WP:ATD; i.e., what about volunteering to do the work to merge the material to a mini-bio at a suitable target such as Miss Kentucky?  Also, did you look for sources?  Unscintillating (talk) 04:07, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you should read WP:BLP1E, a policy, not a guideline or essay, before you imply people are making straw man arguments. The individual is literally (from the sources) only known for having won this event which against BLP1E is why there's so much focus on the event in this discussion -- and not because of straw man arguments about inherent notability.
