Not yet notable WP:NMODEL or WP:NACTOR. She's participated in several beauty pageants, but not won any notable ones. No substantial coverage in reliable sources, just lots of press releases, blog coverage, and a few short mentions of her being a contestant in some newspapers.

  • Keep - This article could be improved rather than deleted. This article can be fixed through normal editing, and it is not a candidate for AfD and moreover there are many references from reliable published sources in this article and this person is definitely notable enough to be featured in Wikipedia
    Thank you.

  • Keep: Although this is an English Wikipedia, and the subject may not be so notable in the US or England, this vehicles covers international subjects. I did not go through the list of references (compare to Marline Barberena) but there is more than primary coverage establishing notability. Otr500 (talk) 13:44, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, John Pack Lambert looks like you didn't check the article and the references properly. Please don't be a serial deletionist.

  • Comments: I am not a deletionist but my !vote is actually a very weak keep. I performed a little maintenance concerning references and removed the general pageant "External link". The article is referenced with a lot of primary links that borders on WP:advertising. If anything I may not have looked close enough at the references. One link that is mainly a page of other indescriminant links includes Beauty-queens-and-their-hot-bikini-looks. These type references have things like "Her flawlessly toned legs are the sexiest part of her body", and I will quick fast and in a hurry be against pageants if they are presenting girls (under aged) and even ladies, in a sexual way over beauty. Another reference includes "Chetri competed in Femina Miss India 2015 and placed in the Top 10. She also competed at the World Miss University 2016 pageant in China where she won the Miss Asia sub-title.". I am not going to support subtitles being notable and editors considering themselves "inclusionists", that seem to want (from other AFD's that I can provide) to have a position of "Everything has a place on Wikipedia", is not something I support. "IF" a subject is notable then great but it does not take wikilaywering to prove notability. Either someone is notable with multiple secondary sources (independant and not connected to the subject in any way) or they are not.
Please do not attack an editor you disagree with, because that person holds a different view on a particular subject, as this article is so border-line I am inclined to change my !vote and can very likely provide as much ammunition in support of delete as keep. Coverage of a subject, that has been a contestant in even multiple insignificant pageants, does not add to a running count towards notability. One thing this article does through references is proclaim several times that contestants are models. I !voted keep because I did see an article that was more than just a couple of lines, or a BLP with maybe two references sometimes only primary, and I nudged my thinking towards keep. I am still very much objective concerning pageant coverage on Wikipedia but will champion, as much as my verbiage will allow, that BLP's be better referenced and more than an unreferenced, under-referenced, or primary sourced referenced stubby-stubs.
