"Advertisement" page for a model whose only notability has been winning a poll which appeared in a "lifestyle" section of a newspaper. The primary purpose of the article appears to be to direct people towards her website and "myspace" page Canderra 17:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. One criterion from WP:BIO reads: "The person has received significant recognized awards or honors." The Miss Great Britain should be sufficient in that respect, by my judgement. A source should be added however. --B. Wolterding 17:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * comment:Miss Great Britain is not a "significant recognized awards" though. It is a newspaper's competition chosen by a little publicised section which appeared in the middle of one copy (i.e. for one day) of a daily newspaper. Canderra 17:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not from Great Britain, so I don't know how the distinction between these awards is perceived by the general public. Still, a Google search reveals approx. 200 results that mention this person winning this particular award - to me, that seems to be a bit more than just a small note in a newspaper. --B.

 * Keep. She proudly wears the crown vacated by Danielle Lloyd. She's also the first Indian to have been so honoured. Easily qualifies for inclusion. JJay 17:43, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete : JJay is incorrect. Danielle Lloyd has an article due to the "scandal" and ensuing stuff. Most Miss Great Britain winners have nothing, nor should they. There's just no real information on this person other than what comes from the one single appearance, which is insufficient coverage to make a biography. --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 18:07, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
