Ilda Reka[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is about a beauty pageant title holder for which I am unable to find any sources to satisfy verifiability. The article states that she represented Albania at Miss Universe 1994. Our own wikipedia article doe not list any entrant from Albania. I've used pageantopolis for looking up other beauty contestants, and it turns out the Wikipedia article is sourced from there. It, of course, doesn't list any entrant from Albania. Searches on google news, and books turn up no results, and web search results fail to find any reliable sources. There is also a claim for 3rd runner up at Miss Globe in 2001. This may not be the same competition as I gather that there are, or have been mutliple contests that have used this name. However, her name doesn't appear as an entrant in that list, and I can find not other sourcing for any Miss Globe that has her as an entrant. The year of competition for Miss Europe is unspecified but I found this which shows a Lida (not Ilda) Reka competing for Albania. I conducted additional searches using "Lida Reka" but could find no sources using that name either. She would meet notability as a pageant title holder if there were sources to verify it, but there are none. Whpq (talk) 19:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's an interview [1] in Albanian with a current Miss Albania who mentions an Ilda Reka as one of her favorite past Miss World. At the bottom of this page there's an article whose title translates "Reka recovered, with more light than top-models", By Violeta Murad - Top Ilda Reka model comes in Albania for another show. Again in the activity of Grabockes..., but I have no idea how to actually get to the rest of the article content without dropping $25. The first doesn't quite seem reliable enough, the second doesn't appear to source the claim that would provide notability. Humph. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 06:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I think this is the first beauty pageant title holder article I have come across that I am unable to dig up any sources for. I just checked another beauy pageant fan site and found this feature article abut the 1994 Miss Universe pageant. It also shows no entry from Albania. -- Whpq (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
