Only claim to notability is that she finished ahead of Sarah Palin in a beauty contest. Not notable by herself. Cogswobbletalk 02:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Only reference on the page is to a personal site, and a Google search hasn't led me to a single secondary source on her, just a bunch of profiles on various social networking sites. There is no reason to believe this person is notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huadpe (talk • contribs) 04:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - All the Miss Alaskas are notable. If you want more references, add them. The article is brand new. Give it a chance to get some body. Kingturtle (talk) 04:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The point is that there are no references. If someone can find and add references that indicate why Maryline Blackburn is notable, then this article should be kept. But there don't appear to be any. Cogswobbletalk 19:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Of course there are no other references -- the Sarah Palin story just broke. Give it some time. 24.16.145.189 (talk) 18:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and the "Sarah Palin story" has virtually nothing to do with Marylin Blackburn. The only remotely relevant factor is that Palin finished second, the person who finished first is completely irrelevent to the story. Cogswobbletalk 19:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Palin aside, all U.S. state pageant winners are notable. Kingturtle (talk) 19:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep -- appears to have been a Grammy nominee.[1][2] There are multiple news references however most are behind a paywall and I can't tell how substantive they are. I think she is an interesting in her own right (click on the bio tab of her web site). The political connection is coincidental. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 00:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep -- This person is notable. My guess as to why the article may have been requested for deletion is perhaps that there is not enough information. Upon looking through the links that were listed on the article itself, I saw at least one bio. It should be enough information to make a larger article. Plus the fact that she beat out Palin in a beauty contest, someone that MAY be a future vice president, makes her notable enough for me to want to know more about her.
