Kelly Tran
I am also nominating the page on the pageant Kelly Tran won:

No indication of notability for either Kelly Tran or the pageant she won. Although Tran lived in the US for the past 20 years and spent her entire career there, we don't have a single independent source in English. There are no significant independent sources for the pageant either; the only source they give on their own "Media" page is an interview in the Apple Valley Review.

42.117.74.39 commented on the Vietnamese sources on Talk:Kelly Tran; while it's difficult to judge the reliability of foreign-language sources, these indeed give off warning signs. Furthermore, the discussion on the Vietnamese talk page for Kelly Tran seems to support 42.117.74.39's concern.

There are further issues that could be solved via editing but are the icing on the cake. Almost the entire content on Kelly Tran was a copyright violation, being copied from Tran's personal website. And the article is heavily defended by User:AdorableTeddy who has ownership issues, routinely removes valid maintenance tags and seems to see the purpose of the article as promoting Ms. Tran.

I think this page should be review by wikipedia administrator carefully since it seems like personal issue between user Huon and user User:AdorableTeddy, not sure if these two people had personal issue but I can see the tention between the two of them via talk page on Kelly Tran article. 151.151.16.13 (talk) 22:44, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I think we should keep this article, this is just a personal matter between the two user Huon and AdorableTeddy. The article has some small issue that can be fix. 151.151.16.8 (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
