Miss Afghanistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Given Afghanistan does not participate in pageants this entire article is a farce. Zohra_Daoud is the only person ever crowned with the title back in 1972. We have a German pageant in 2008 claiming to award the title to Zallascht Sadat, and an American Vida Samadzai who used the title to compete without winning it, generating condemnation and worldwide press for appearing in a red bikini. A Canadian also got some press for using the title elsewhere. The actual article that could be written about the title Miss Afghanistan might be pretty interesting, but the current version is completely unsourced, seems to be complete OR, boring, and likely nonsense from the first and only sentence "'Miss Afghanistan is a beauty pageant in Afghanistan." (it is not) through the blank lists, to the notes at the bottom which make little sense. TNT it and maybe someone will create a useful article. Legacypac (talk) 10:51, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Revert to something like Version of 22 Nov 2012 (dab page listing 3 people who have been so described), perhaps adding a note to the effect that Afghanistan does not currently hold pageants. Pam  D  11:52, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Reverted, keep to that version, then converted to an WP:SIA, don't discount it being better as a WP:DABCONCEPT but this will do for now. Against as a dabconcept (i.e. an article) unless there's sources. Widefox ; talk 20:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep either way regardless of what version as I simply see no obvious need for deletion here. SwisterTwister   talk  07:02, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per SwisterTwister —Мандичка YO 😜 08:33, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per PamD and SwisterTwister's suggestions, and also troubled by a cleanup attempt the nom made that was abandoned to go to AfD as 'silly'; this didn't need to get to this step.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 23:30, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
