A variety of problems here. The organization appears to be a defunct WP:BRANCH of a national organization. The page has be tagged for notability concerns, COI concerns and [WP:V]] for 8 years but no one has addressed these real issues. The business is dead now, website gone, which is the primary source for the data. With a couple of exceptions where a subject went on to become notable, the winners are not notable and don't have pages about them or even refs to support the names on the list. In short, a minor business which operated in a limited geographic region and is no more notable than any of the other minor pageants around the world. Legacypac (talk) 00:25, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Also this topic was deleted in 2007 as not notable and a 2011 discussion failed to find concensus. Inclusion standards for companies WP:NCORP have risen substantially in the last few years. Legacypac (talk) 00:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Just curious but when does an organisation like this become notable? Because although most references are from 2011 the organisation was mentioned again in 2013. And I get several results when I search for it and if I had the time would have expanded the article with. Isn't notability established if independent sources refer to an organisation for a long amount of time? --Donald Trung (Talk EMOJI) (Articles EMOJI) Respect mobile users. 09:37, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
