By now more then a year tagged for possible copyvio but nothing happend The Banner talk 10:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC) *Delete - If the copyright violations are removed then there is no article. That does not stop an editor recreating the article and establishing notability, provided it is not copying and pasting material directly from other sources (as is currently the case). Copyright issue has been addressed. Dan arndt (talk) 08:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Why not rewrite it then? The winner of Miss Sri Lanka Universe is going to be notable, this is not really a small country.--Milowent • hasspoken  05:12, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Its not hard to rewrite a poorly written article to moot the alleged copyright violation, if she is notable, the project should want to have coverage of the subject. And she appears to be notable.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I rewrote and added more sources. The amount of national coverage she has received in Sri Lanka is significant. This was another bad nomination by Banner, sadly, I have never ever "lost" to Banner when he makes a bad nomination.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:31, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Although the tone of User:Milowent is plain disgusting, belittling and combative, it is a fact that finally somebody took care of the copyright issue. So I request speedy close as keep as nominator, as the issues are solved. The Banner talk 17:21, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am so horrible. Listen, Banner, you and I have been thru this a few times already.  I know you do good work ferreting out ridiculous non-notable pageants like Miss Asia World Beauty International Campbell Soup 2009 or what have you.  But from time to time you go ahead and nominate winners of top pageants that are clearly notable.  There is no evidence of you following WP:BEFORE in these cases, and you "lose" these AfDs.  When someone like me doesn't show up, occasionally one gets deleted, and I see it gets recreated again (in worse shape) when you don't notice.  This is not helpful to the project, and makes your good work less immediately trustworthy.  I like to improve articles, you have a talent for finding non-notable articles in this niche and cleaning out cruft, let's get together and make beautiful Wikipedia content together!--Milowent • <sup style="position:relative">has<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-3.2ex;*left:-5.5ex;">spoken  18:04, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Effectively, by the way you work you are supporting undeclared paid editors, sockpuppets, meatpuppets and other nasty things. It is nice what you do, but you fail to see the consequences. And still, I go for WP:IAR as I do not think it is realistic to improve bad quality articles as even the original author does not care about them. <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 18:22, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * There are paid editors all over this place. Some of them actually do good work, amazingly, writing in areas that no one cares about.  In the pageant area they aren't so accomplished.  AFD is not for clean-up, so if something is notable, that's not the way to combat evil.--Milowent • <sup style="position:relative">has<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-3.2ex;*left:-5.5ex;">spoken  18:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The version of this article that I nominated did show copyvio issues, not any notability. <span style="font-family:'Old English Text MT',serif;color:green">The Banner <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 19:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
