Miss Elite Cosmopolitan World

Despite the title, this article purports to be about an upcoming edition of the pageant. But the entire thing -- both the event and the pageant itself -- looks to be a hoax. I find no evidence whatsoever that this pageant exists. The one blue-linked contestant name has an article that doesn't mention this pageant. And the sources for all of the upcoming national pageants? They are almost all to the same Facebook post. Others are to pageant-related news stories that aren't about this pageant. But it's possible that I'm wrong about the hoax aspect, so I'm nominating here instead of proposing a speedy deletion. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:40, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
