 * Delete Keep per the sources provided by Cirt - In principle I really want to support coverage for alternative beauty pageants due to the institutionalised heteronormative sexism that means we get media attention for pretty girls in bikinis (and not always even then) But yes, there is very little here that isn't already covered in the parent article, plus a lack of reliable sourcing.

 * Comment (for Mabalu) - Mabalu, I have a feeling like you need to justify you're not a homophobe; neither am I. Some users try to press us so that we will keep away from proposing deletion of their favourite articles or articles in their favourite areas. Never mind. If I have proposed the deletion of several articles on Turks I did not do it because I am anti-Turk or anything similar but certainly because the articles did not look notable or appropriate for WP. That is all. Just vote without worrying about those attitudes. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:32, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep, nice source coverage found at: . &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't make the searches that way: Add '2011' and '-wiki' to 'your title', search; then tell us if you have found any 'reliable' source. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: National Public Radio, The Encyclopedia of New Zealand, Radio Netherlands Worldwide Africa, Mamba Online, The Guardian, India Times, are a few that gave it source coverage in 2012 alone. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 13:40, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * What about coverage for 2011? Mabalu (talk) 14:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: Coverage of the year 2011: South Africa Info, Time Live, Time Out Beijing, DNA Made That Way, Phillipine Daily Inquirer, Seattle Gay News, and Mamba Online. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 14:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
