I can't find anything reliable other than the Times of India article (which really doesn't say much of anything about the topic). I could be missing something as I don't know the topic area well, but I'm finding zip. Hobit (talk) 20:12, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, agree that this is less known pageant. But this is in growing stage, so Its my opinion that an International pageant should be part of Wikipedia. Yes I also agree that sources are less, we have to wait for further updates. I understand Hobit concern but I will suggest to wait further.GKCH (talk) 04:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No we require sources to be included, if the sources aren't there yet, we don't wait before we delete it (it's been 6 months already), we wait before we create it. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 06:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no significant coverage, so can't be sourced and doesn't suggest notability. --86.2.216.5 (talk) 06:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, BOW is an International pageant. Agsliil (talk) 06:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Being international helps, but by itself does not establish notability, according to guidelines on event (WP:EVENTS) and organization (WP:ORG) notability. Independent reliable sources are still required. I suggest evaluating the sources as well. Agyle (talk) 04:37, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Undecided. One article with reasonably significant coverage is from Daily News ("Sri Lanka's national newspaper since 1918"). An article with moderate coverage of the 2010 pageant is from Pinoy Power (Philippines). I found maybe 20 other articles that mention the pagaent without significant coverage of the topic, often focusing on a country's particular contestant, or just running a couple nice pictures with a couple sentences. They don't establish notability due to the depth of coverage, although they do establish the international media interest in the topic. Some examples include: Viva Lanka (Sri Lanka) with a 4-sentence paragraph about the pagaent, Metropolis (Japan) with 3 sentences about the pagaent, Andalucia Informacion (Spain), Curierul Zilei (Romania), Mediaş Info (Romania), Jurnal de Argeş (unknown Eastern Europe), The Standard (Hong Kong), The Telegraph (UK), Elegant Magazine (Sri Lanka), Torun 24 Telewizja Internetow (Polish) (includes video of model photo shoot), Beautpageantnews.com (pageant-specific bloggish site), Venus Veil (Japan), and Tokyo Frontline (Japan).
