BLP1E if I ever saw one. Claim for notability is to be 8th i a national beauty pagent. There needs to be some evidence of ensuring notability to retain this. Coverage looks sparse too. Spartaz Humbug! 06:05, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep: This subject competed in the Miss America beauty pageant, which is notable. Are there more sources that can be added to this article? Carajou (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Added additional sources to the article. Passes WP:GNG. She appears to be a local figure and continued to receive coverage about her activities for years after she stopped competing.   Lonehexagon (talk) 23:20, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- the subject does not appear to have achieved anything of note; i.e. "She grew up singing in church and has performed the national anthem for the Chargers, the Padres, and on TV" is hardly a claim of significance. Coverage is routine and / or hyper-local, as in "local resident does good". Fails WP:ANYBIO & WP:SIGCOV. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:35, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Killiondude (talk) 08:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Claim to notability is that she was Miss California 2007. FloridaArmy (talk) 15:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Some responses remind me of WP:DONTLIKEIT as opposed to actual Wikipedia guidelines. Chaty had significant coverage about who she was and what she did for years after her Miss California win, satisfying WP:GNG, regardless of what anyone personally feels about her accomplishments.

 * Keep substantial coverage over many uears for various beauty pageant titles, her singing, her role as a beauty queen, and her career pursuits afterwards. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:10, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss California list of winners, her primary claim to fame. Her Miss Mendocino and Miss America attempt can be added in the notes. While I can't view all the sources, they primarily seem to relate to her as Miss California. She doesn't appear to have received note as a psychologist (if she is one: all I can verify is she was a psych major and works for the Alzheimer’s Association)., can you evaluate the depth of coverage for the 2011 Ukiah Daily Journal source? Is it significant coverage or a passing mention, and does it primarily relate to Miss California, or other, independent activities?  --Animalparty! (talk) 01:40, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect name to Miss California list .  Although her Miss California title and 8th place finish at Miss America pageant were covered by regional newspapers in California, she does not appear to have done anything else. no notability beyond being Miss California.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:10, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
