 * Redirect to Miss International. —teb728 t c 06:43, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * These appear to be two completely separate organisations, judging by their websites http://www.miss-international.us/legal.php and http://www.miss-international.org/en/aboutICA.html Stuartyeates (talk) 20:06, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are not enough sources for a stand-alone article (the best I found were local news pieces of the "Local person to go to the Miss International pageant" type), there is nothing to merge, and the title is not a likely search term so a redirect doesn't make any sense.

This is actually the only recognized Miss International in both the US & the EU. This Miss International is the only one to carry the registered trademarked name. The Japan one is not recognized in the US or the EU as the legitimate Miss International. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.242.248 (talk) 21:11, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I invite you to read WP:CORPDEPTH which is our inclusion criteria for such things. What we are looking for is in-depth independent coverage of the organisation as an organisation. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:38, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

 * That is a machine-generate page by Trademarkia based on a trademark application / registration with the USPTO by the subject. The trademark application was produced by the subject (and /or it's representative) and is thus not independent. The machine-generated page contains no independent coverage, because it is purely based on the USPTO-derived content which is not independent. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
