 * Keep - The topic meets WP:GNG. Source examples include, but are not limited to:, , , , , , , , , . See WP:NEXIST, which is part of the Wikipedia:Notability page: "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable".

 * Happy editing! But WP:NEXIST is one of the biggest blunders of the community as it turns the burden of proof not to the editor (as is usual) but to the nominator. So I invoke WP:IAR on this point and want the notability to be proven in the article. The Banner talk 23:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Not be rude, but most of your "sources" are about the contestants. Not about the pageant itself. Passing mentions are not regarded reliable sources conform WP:RS The Banner talk 13:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:ROUTINE news coverage, mainly based on press releases, does not provide the independent third party in depth coverage required by WP:EVENT. Since WP:BURDEN applies too, unsourced and fancruft will likely be removed shortly. And since few editors will have ever heard of this event it's a also ran small pageant business.

 * Keep - While sympathetic regarding 's viewpoint (I too find the laziness of some editors not to write articles with valid citations exasperating), the policy cited by is what this article must be judged by. And not every AfD participant is as diligent as NA in putting the found citations into an article. Besides those added by NA, there are literally hundreds of articles on News which talk about this competition, from Russia and Romania, to Scotland, Britain, the US, African nations. Clearly passes WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG. plenty of reliable sources. --BabbaQ (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes GNG by a reasonable margin.
