non-notable beauty contest - all of the sources (those available, not in the article, as that does not seem to have any 3rd party sources) seem to be rehashed press releases and blogs. Cameron Scott (talk) 11:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable title, awarded by a non-notable company to non-notable women. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The vast majority of the contestants did not come from a national competition unlike the contestants of other international pageants like Miss World or Miss Universe. The pageant pays contestants’ airfare just to participate in the event (e.g. http://www.criticalbeauty.com/Journal_Jan_2008.html ). International involvement isn't having an important effect for notability unless the pageant gets some international notice. There are no third party references; the article should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The pageant has no any mainstream news agency (like Associated Press or Reuters) that picks up the story. If there's any publicity or promotion, it is done mostly through blogs, paid advertisements, and non-notable websites. The pageant world is so saturated with innumerable "tourism pageants" that a non- pageant enthusiast cannot tell the difference among them like Miss Tourism International, Miss Tourism World, International Miss Tourism, Miss Tourism Pageant, Miss Tourism Queen, and etc., so be careful in google or yahoo search, you might be looking the wrong pageant. Additionally, you do not see the titleholder of this pageant making the news, because the cause (promoting tourism) is dime a dozen and is not really interesting. The pageant has several contestants because a single country can have multiple contestant entries. Aside from the “appointed national contestants,” which are non-national winners, cities/provinces from the same country can also participate, since the pageant has "special tourism regions and areas" as participants (such as Bali, Phuket, Borneo, Hawaii, etc.) - which is absurd because practically any place or region on earth could be a potential tourist spot. Unlike Miss Universe, Miss World or Miss Earth, Miss Tourism Queen International still has a way to go to prove itself worthy of global news and be included in an online encyclopedia.--Ped Admi (talk) 23:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
