Crouch was the winner of a state contest. In general deletion outcomes suggest only winners of national level contests are notable. The sources here are a hyper local paper, her college's paper (which we almost never count for notability of students or faculty) and the website of the contest she won. Nothing close to notability. There is a claim of a discussion on merging, but I see no evidence there was ever an actual discussion John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment When I went to notify the article creator I realized that I am the article creator. I did not understand Wikipedia notability as well back in 2009 as I do today, and the rules of notability were more lax back then. This feels like going full circle back to my July 2016 nomination of the article on Sloan Bailey for deletion. The one difference is that I personally knew Sloan Bailey and have not to my knowledge ever personally met Crouch, however beyond that detail the situation is relatively the same. It is also a little different since Bailey did not actually complete her time as Miss Nevada USA (and also by some measure Miss America is more notable than Miss USA), but since except rare hyper local coverage all the coverage we get at all on state pageant winners is focused on when they are crowned and not their "reign", I do not think that detail makes the two cases significantly different.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
