Beezley is a non-notable beauty pageant contestant. She just won a state competion, this is not enough to establish notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:43, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment -- is the above referring to the tabulating mixup?
 * "A bigger blunder this year belonged to Miss California USA organizers. The judges crowned the wrong queen in their November contest and reversed it days later, saying Raquel Beezley, of Barstow, was the victim of a vote tabulation error. Dethroned Miss Los Angeles, Christina Silva, a Hispanic woman, has filed a lawsuit alleging racial bias."

 * Redirect to Miss California USA as a valid search term, and the subject is mentioned there as the 2008 winner. North America1000 10:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep (a weak keep) Winning Miss California, and then the tabulation screw-up, with legal fallout, puts her in the keep category for me, but just by a tad. Sources include coverage of the mixup here and here and here. So, does beauty pageant winner + screw-up = notability? I'm lukewarm, could go either way.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:30, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Miss California USA per North America. I don't see sufficient coverage for an article.  I don't think the vote count error was that significant. MB 03:12, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss California USA; not independently notable. The coverage is mostly of the screw-up, not about Ms Beezley. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:18, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Miss California USA per above. Minor coverage of vote-tally error doesn't focus on the individual; not in-depth, significant coverage. Neutralitytalk 15:25, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
