Delete and salt. Promotion of a nonnotable pageant. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:34, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, more references could potentially redeem. As far as the article itself, the only notable references I saw in the article were CNN/People and those articles used unflattering titles related to Miss Iceland's body weight. Also, even though the pageant was held in the USA, I found a lack of American news coverage from mainstream sources. But the article could potentially be a keep as Google News listed a number of notable newspaper references in non-American/European countries and it is an international pageant (Times of India, etc.). Also, on the positive side, I googled the pageant's name and found a ton of search results (About 1,690,000 results). The beauty pageant appear to have a following as some of its YouTube videos have high view counts (tens of thousands of views). For example, its main video for 2016 has over 170,000 views. But that could merely be due the nature of the video (swimsuit competition).  Its Facebook page has over a million likes, but in these days of reports of fake likes, this doesn't carry a lot of weight. Knox490 (talk)

 * Delete due to the souces failing to indicate notabilty: they are either passing mentions, in the contaxt of the models, or SPS / WP:PRIMARY. Either way, mass failure of WP:GNG requirements. &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  12:02, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
