 * Delete. Agree. Of minimal local interest only and does not seem to have a place in the encyclopedia. BenLinus1214 (talk) 14:06, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete (changing to Redirect, see below) No significant coverage found for this pageant. I earlier prodded it; author removed the prod but the notability problem remains. MelanieN (talk) 15:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Redirect to Milk Queen, without prejudice in the event that someone wants to spend the time sourcing this. There are indeed old news articles from back in the day, and I found use of the term in novels, non-fiction and essays as a kind of placeholder for a certain kind of authentic, rural America. A solid, reliably sourced article could be written, but until/unless it is,  WP readers are better served by a redirect to Milk Queen. And now let's get serious, Would you like Maple Walnut or Rocky Road?

 * Delete - not a major contest, even in Upstate New York. Bearian (talk) 22:45, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Not so fast Thing is, this is a thing, a contest that has been around since before you and I were born. It's even older than Wikipedia. (irony, that was ironic, although I do see a AfDs arguing that a thing (corporation, building)  "no longer exists" and therefore the article should be deleted.  This contest  happens every year, involves real human beings, gets real coverage.  I suspect that it used to get covered in bigger papers back in the day.  I'm going to try and source this one, before I vote.ShulMaven (talk) 20:34, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
