Weak references WP:RS. Pageant has never happened, just been predicted. Notability and/or WP:TOOSOON and/or WP:CRYSTAL. See Articles for deletion/Alicia Hayes. Ariconte (talk) 09:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep? On quick review, appears to have 3 wp:notability-suitable sources/coverage. North8000 (talk) 11:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Personally, I find USA Today to be a reliable enough source, so we know this isn't a hoax. But still, little is known about the pageant and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Furthermore, most of the sources are from 2010, even in a Google Search nothing is really updated about this. Yet this may still qualify as Reliable Sourcing to meet WP:FUTURE.

 * What? The USA Today article does not say anything about the paegent! It only supports the filing of a form regarding presidential candidacy. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 21:31, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The USA Today article verifys the upcoming pageant's use of firearms., the one I assume you mean, makes a passing mention about the paegant not enough to assert notability. However, there are multiple sources that come up in Google like
 * ‘Miss Liberty America’: Now The Tea Party Has An Actual Beauty Pageant
 * A pageant for 'patriots'
 * These, I believe assert notability. No change though, I'm still a weak, weak, weak keep. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed ref 1 in the article. I was looking at ref 4. Still think it needs to be Deleted. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 03:32, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, which looks for events that are "almost certain to take place." Per supplied sourcing, this event was originally supposed to commence in July, 2011, then in July, 2012, and here in August, 2012, per their own website they aren't yet even taking applications for contestants. There is decent sourcing for this, so naturally once the event itself is more certain to actually happen there should be an article on it. Until then, the sourcing confirms that the idea of a beauty pageant for gun-toting beauties is a newsworthy curiosity. It'll be a notable event when the event actually takes place (or when we can be sure it will take place). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  14:29, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I created this article originally as a potential place to house information on Alicia Hayes (see Articles for deletion/Alicia Hayes); after putting it together I was unconvinced that it actually met the GNG and I'm still equally unconvinced. IIRC it was supposed to debut in July; since I can't find any sources suggesting that it did, I'm not even sure that it's actually going ahead anyway. If it does, we can always write a new article - this one is unnecessary. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 11:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
