Person whose claim to fame is to have been "Miss Krasnodar". Lost another pageant and is a contestant in third contest. But as she hasn't won a major prize, I'd say she does not pass the notability threshhold. Passportguy (talk) 10:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Weak keep I think. I'm not sure how to gauge the notability for pageant girls, but if it's similar to athletes, competing in the Miss Russia pageant is probably worth something, especially coming in second. Representing Russia in a world pageant is surely notable (Olympics of pageantry), of course it isn't until December. لenna  vecia  04:15, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment the problem with the Olympics comparision is that there are a large number of competing "world" pagentries, so the level of lnotability is not comparable to that of being an olympian. Passportguy (talk) 14:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Given this more consideration and considered Passportguy's point, she's marginally notable at best, but without a guideline on what determines notability for pageant girls, I'm going to have to lean to delete. Considering also that such competitions, or participation in them, rarely leads to significant coverage in reliable sources, there is no article to write here. لenna  vecia  15:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
