The only source on the page is the webpage of the competition she won. Beauty queens are not default notable, and competition press releases and websites do not show notability. A search for additional sources showed up nothing. The only Jamie Lin I found information on was a man involved in computer programing, nothing on her.

Delete per nom. This is an example of WP:BLP1E. Subject won a title 11 years ago. A Google search shows zero evidence of reliable sources for anything since. Fails WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 04:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - won the national title and competed at an international level at one of the "big 4" international beauty pageants. As in sports, participating in the premier international competition indicates notability. Not sure whether any editors here are able to search Chinese-language (Cantonese maybe for TW?) sources for additional mentions? MurielMary (talk) 09:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, I can’t believe that are you are comparing a pageant based purely on a persons appearance against a sporting contest, which requires physical and mental skills. Besides in most cases, apart from the Olympics, an individual needs to have at least placed in an international competition, to be considered notable.

And I absolutely cannot believe that you have nominated these articles for deletion when you clearly have such limited knowledge of the subject matter! Beauty pageants are *not* judged purely on appearance; there are multiple sections for talent performance, presenting a charity the contestant has been involved with, completing an interview, completing a sports event and actual modelling tasks. It's an all-round competition and the winners are celebrities in their own countries. MurielMary (talk) 08:02, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She's best known for beauty pageant but without some coverage indicating something else that makes her notable, even a brief mention indicating she might be notable for something else. Graywalls (talk) 14:36, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - From a quick search conducted in English, no reliable sources on the subject... perhaps there would be a few in other languages. Does not meet general notability criteria. Spyder212 (talk) 19:47, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
