I declined a speedy on this as I don't think it qualified strictly for the criteria, and looked for sources. I can't find any good sources beyond those in the article, and those are local sources, and I'd really like to find something of national prominence before I'd feel comfortable having an article. It's always worth erring on the side of caution for BLPs. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi, thanks for taking the time to review the article.

  She's been featured in Blue Monkey Magazines, PPMC Magazine issue 75, and Randfontein Herald. She also had a radio interview with Hotmix Fm. JohnDoe46991 (talk) 22:31, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and salt - this is the article's third creation, having been previously speedy deleted twice on March 30, once by me. The subject's claim to notability is winning a beauty pageant which itself does not appear to be notable: we have no article on it, and Googling it does not bring up any significant results. The creator has previously asserted in a now-deleted edit, "The article is written about a person of interest in the local community. People want to learn more about this person." This to me strongly suggests promotional intent, and given the subject matter, very likely undisclosed paid editing. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 22:39, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Winning a beauty pageant is notable. There are hundreds of articles about beauty pageant winners.

  Indicating that there's an interest does not show any promotional intent whatsoever and solely states the reason why the article was created.

  After every deletion request the article was edited with the efforts to abide by the criteria. 41.216.201.244 (talk) 22:50, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Not every beauty pageant is notable. Winning a pageant no-one has heard of does not confer notability. -- Random person no 362478479 (talk) 02:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
