Delete notability: "it takes more than just a short burst of news reports.... to constitute sufficient evidence of notability – particularly for living individuals known for one event (WP:BLP1E)." Riphamilton (talk) 16:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

notability: The Facts of the Article are Accurate and is verifiable through not only the Hampton university Records of the Pageant, but in the numerous news accounts and other archival records that are easily checked. What is in dispute here and what people want to erase or change is the historical fact of what is written in the 2nd article of the controversy caused by her winning the Pageant and where some did not want a "White" woman to win and felt that she was intruding on sacred ground. In response to this Miss Churchill wrote a controversal letter to President Obama asking for his assistance because of his influance with the University itself. In this letter are some comments she took out of context and caused more controversy. Again. All of this is historical facts not subject to change because it is impossible to change history. But there are some who want to erase history and this must be prevented at any costs. The Nazi's did this, the Soviets did this, as have other dictitorial agencies who do not want notariety of particular events especially when it involves insulting or invading their personal bias or beliefs. Nikole Churchill succeeded in creating a point in history that is notable in that she broke a race barrier that may seem insignificant today but might or might not become celebrated as a major changing point in history. Just as it was with a black woman who refused to sit in the back of the bus, which at the time was insignificant but took decades to realize that, staged or not, the event was a point where history was made. "To demand deletion of an article of an historic event simply because one or two "Dissenters" do not like the subject is totally uncalled for. The 1st Black President is a historic event. The 1st White Beauty Pageant winner in a predominantly black contest is a historic event, just as it would be if turned around, a Black pageant winner in a predominantly White contest is a historic event. Bias comes in many forms, one of the most henious is one of 'Changing or deleting History'" Rudeseal (talk) 23:19, 18 October 2009
