Non-notable. A page for a beauty contest that didn't happen.  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 02:37, 1 May 2009 (UTC) User: MRDU08 (talk | contribs) made that page and invented the information. This is not the first time he has done that. --Juliaaltagracia (talk) 23:28, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, Merge and Redirect into Miss Universe 1977 It's interesting enough that Miss Universe was held in the Dominican Republic, and yet they did not even hold a local pageant for their entry.  But I agree it's not notable enough for its own article. Gigs (talk) 04:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss Dominican Republic 76.66.202.139 (talk) 06:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment After some thought, I agree with this redirect as the most appropriate action if the circumstances (i.e., no pageant was held in '77) were included in the Miss Dominican Republic history section.  In fact, I'm kind of surprised it's not there already.    Mbinebri   talk &larr; 18:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - This article should have its own page, as any of the others years does for any pageant. It just needs to be worked on with information from Dominican Republic newspapers.  There was a scandal in the local press, when no pageant was held.  Headlines news where placed in page, for any user to work on.  Also the representative of the Dominican Republic was a finalist, as they always are when a country hostess the constest.  Oppose to merging  or redirecting the page Miss Dominican Republic 1977.--Juliaaltagracia (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: I added second page to nomination per admin recommendation.  Mbinebri   talk &larr; 22:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have not included that information in Miss Dominican Republic article, because that article needs to be fixed. It includes information from 5 different pageants as if they were only one.  Also there is no information available in the Internet to put for references.  You can only retrieve the headlines news from the http://ogm.elcaribe.com.do/ogm/consulta.aspx.

 * Keep whether or not there was a contest there should be an article because there was a Miss DR that year and how she became to be is important regardless and there is no better title. But has anyone looked at this or tried to confirm the information on the Spanish Wikipedia?  I suspect there is some hanky pank going on with the article, you might investigate that as well. There are/have been several competing beauty contests at various times to add to the confusion. Srta. Aurora Sardinas was in the Miss Universe 1977 and was in the finals.   How she got there may not be verifiable on the internet.  Someone with access to DR newspaper archives may have to go look at microfilm in the basement of a library if the hanky-panky can't be figured out.  Drawn Some (talk) 09:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don´t know if my comments are not clear, but I have provided headline news about the contest from the data bank |El Caribe Newspaper which has files from all the Dominican Republic newspapers since 1942. --Juliaaltagracia (talk) 04:06, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
