Delete Sourced for having won a local pageant. Did't find sources for notability as claimed model, actress and dancer ... also chearleder. Per WP:BASIC.--Ben Ben (talk) 10:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Winner of major state-level United States pageant, from one of the most populous U.S. states, so generally speaking they are considered notable. Maybe harder to dig for archived sources from 1980s because major Florida papers are paywalled, but I'd be surprised if she doesn't meet standards of prior precedents.

Weak Keep per Milowent. I don't think, on balance, that the subject is notable just for winning a state-level pageant. But if there's precedent that such a win is sufficient notability, then I defer to consensus. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 18:17, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep there's definite coverage of her prior to and actually winning the event, but the actual coverage itself is pretty weak. I'm not really enthusiastic about keeping the article, but I suppose given consensus about state-level pageant winners, I will support keeping.

Weak keep. Under the current standards for major state level pageants, Losh is notable. However I did have to remove a bit of the article that wasn't sourced by any of the articles linked. I did add one that mentions that she competed in the 1985 Miss USA pageant, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Scant coverage of a single event and no lasting coverage means that the subject of the article fails WP:ONEEVENT. Not every winner of a beauty contest is notable, especially when coverage of the person begins and ends with the contest itself. Notable enough for inclusion on a list of Miss Florida winners or in the article on the Miss Florida contest, but not by a long-shot for a stand-alone article.
