Failed to meet WP:GNG. The edition of this new pageant was not notable enough. Richie Campbell (talk) 14:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG. Syndicater (talk) 20:32, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SPEEDY KEEP Bad faith nomination. Not much has changed since the previous attempt to kill this pageant, except that more sources have been added, as I predicted. This pageant has gotten legitimate news coverage in primarily Asian based major news outlets. Are the nominators that jingoistic? Today, I had no problem finding additional sources to add to the various articles under attack as multiple individual AfD's. You know a group effort like this should be unified WP:BUNDLE, these also have individual AfDs for each. You know you should do a WP:BEFORE before nominating an article for AfD. You obviously did not as I will substantiate later. Both those steps were failed, so these should be Speedy Keep on procedural grounds alone. My cynicism expects that won't even be considered. WP:GNG is clearly met here. 2018 coverage: USA, Canada India, more India (there's lots more), Brazil, Bangla Desh, Philippines, and more Philippines (and a lot more). Philippines did a lot of coverage of the 2017 event, won by Miss Philippines. They also gave a lot of coverage to the 2018 event, held in 2019, not won by a domestic entrant. Do I have to lead you malicious people on a basic Google search, again? Yes, I take these attacks seriously and use harsh language. Legitimate attempts to find sources were not made. Sources get removed. These are deliberate to achieve the goal of eliminating content; to get brownie points for that effort. All of the Miss Multinational articles should be a KEEP.

Redirect to Miss Multinational - one event is not notable on its own, only as part of the pageant series - unnecessary content fork from the main article - Epinoia (talk) 02:15, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE - While it is possible to find some articles on this pageant they seem to be predominantly bloggings or press release stuff. There isn't any significant or sustained writing about the pageant itself. What appears to be a trade tracking site Missology doesn't consider it to be a significant pageant and they seem to keep a close eye on this niche industry. The site of the company that owns the pageant has default templates for some of its pages (About us) and stock photos in multiple places. While it may become a significant pageant some day, I don't see the coverage that would support that today, which is curious since promotion seems to be a key element of the industry. Pageants such as Miss Earth seem to have connections with significant organisations and have their contestants out promoting themselves, the org and its cause. I don't see anything similar here. I think all of this is reflected in the current state of the page as there isn't really anything to write about yet. My recommendation here applies to each of the listed pages. ogenstein (talk) 22:16, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just wanted to note that the pageant web site hasn't even been updated to show the new winner, when the second contest was apparently held in January. The home page is still showing the initial contest's winner and a 'countdown' to the January event. Why would WP take them more seriously than they take themselves. As an added bonus, the 'coverage' on the PhilStar site gets the pageant year wrong and isn't about this pageant at all — they were covering a Miss World event and chatting with the Multinational winner who happened to be there. You can see that in the videos on the page. ogenstein (talk) 03:03, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
