Cassandra Whitehead

Nominating articles individually (sorry for the mix-up). Please see previous AfD, this is an article that received no, or very few, votes to keep. Subject fails BIO1E, BIO Additional criteria, and Entertainers. She is an also-ran on a television game show, notable only in that context. The fact that a print model gets work as a print model is not notable. We have articles for the winner, runner-up and 3rd place contestants from ANTM. The others are not noteworthy, apart from their appearance on ANTM, and have yet to establish themselves as leaders in their chosen profession. Consequently, I am nominating all but the top 3 finishers from the ANTM cycles for deletion. In time they may prove notable enough for an article in the encyclopedia but until then they are quite well represented at all the various ANTM articles and the ANTM dedicated wiki.

Delete Per my nomination. L0b0t (talk) 19:40, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the other AFD and the fact that she was notable for her pageant participation prior to competing on ANTM. Although she never won a state title, she held numerous local titles and has competed in the Miss Texas USA, Miss Texas Teen USA & Miss California USA pageants, placing many times. As User:Blnguyen phrased it well previously, her notability is "due to a sum of multiple events which were partially notable". PageantUpdater talk • contribs 20:01, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Merely competing for a state title is not notable. No matter how many times she may have tied and failed, that's no more notable than failing once--notable quire something that is actually notable--being less than notable as any number of things makes one--less than notable. To take a more common sequence, a non-notable athlete who becomes an non-notable college teacher and then a losing political candidate remains non-notable, no matter how many professions he does not achieve success in. Otherwise anyone who kept shifting jobs would eventually become notable, even if we couldn't say at precisely what. DGG (talk) 21:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Has not accomplished anything notable and has not received significant media coverage. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 22:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep numerous pageant wins and guest-stints. Got media coverage for being the first contestant to quit ANTM Siemgi 23:13 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Weak delete If she had won the Miss Texas 2005 crown, I would have voted to keep it. No notability beyond winning the Miss Corpus Christi crown. Artene50 (talk) 01:42, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there--had she won that title, I doubt it would even have been nominated for AfD. DGG (talk) 04:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - per Artene50 --T-rex 02:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The nomination actually is about ANTM. To me the fact that she has done ANTM + several pageants + several guest appearances = notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.194.35.225 (talk) 12:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep, she's just like Brittany, probably a little more notable due to her pageantry past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.231.0.64 (talk) 23:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

— 87.231.0.64 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Weak Delete: Although both Top Model and pageants are notable...she hasn't won or placed high enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. SKS2K6 (talk) 02:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the last AfD had a keep result, I don't see how she could ahve lost notability since. User:Whadaheck (User talk:Whadaheck) 13:07 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep- the multiple borderline events add up to notability. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Too long, not objectively written (too much space devoted to pageant minutiae and her hair), but meets notability requirements. - Richfife (talk) 00:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
