 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable competition. You can find a few mentions of this on the web, but it is not covered in reliable sources beyond mere mentions in passing or short blurbs. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 17:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Note that, despite the box to the right, this is really only the first nomination for this article. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 19:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - If the official news service of China includes coverage, that seems to me to pass notability guidelines. Otto4711 19:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw that too, but does one extremely short article add up to notability? The only reason the Chinese news service had even that minimal amount of coverage is because the event took place in China.  ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 19:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, as it is run as a sister pageant (I guess that term doesn't work, but...) of Miss World, one of the "most widely attended and broadcasted of such events". Yes, on itself it hasn't received much acclaim, but it's a relatively new pageant, in a very small category. Mister Intercontinental is the only direct competition, as IFBB Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia are both intensely focused on body-building. --  Zanimum 19:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Note, why do we consider this the "second nomination?" The first is still active, and for Mister World 2007, a separate article. --  Zanimum 19:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
