The result was speedy keep, nominator has voted to keep. Clearly a WP:POINTy nomination. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:33, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

There is major conflict of interest by one of the writers who is adamant about defaming this person. A story taken out one year ago has no head or tail and is still not followed up. When Mercury news was contacted they are not giving any answers and hence this is a rumour that has no substance on the controversy headline. There is no follow up news to sustain this rumour as well. Please be aware that rumours are also done via major newspapers. --Sonisona 21:35, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Keep but remove any unsourced allegations, or add retractions of allegations. she is a beauty pageant winner in a contest whose other winners have articles. unless the others are all separately notable for other achievements, why single her out? AFD is not a forum to resolve COI or BLP issues, unless the figure is marginally notable and requests deletion, or is really solely here to be attacked. I dont think its the latter.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:16, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep/comment - The pageant is notable, and other winners of the pageant have articles. Technically, Saman Hasnain meets basic notability as she won it, and we seem to have a precedent for articles on winners for most notable pageants. Conflict of interest editing isn't a reason to delete an article - if anything, the article should be protected/semi-protected and monitored. Mabalu (talk) 02:22, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, rationale does not provide any reason for deletion. BLP issues should be dealt with by editing. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have also blocked the nominator temporarily for repeated violations of WP:NPA, such as at the article's talk page. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but remove any allegations, or add retractions of allegations if there are any. There have been no weight to the stories... and if there have been no follow up done then there is no point to keep false allegations or rumours. Also there has to be further investigations done, so I have reported several times, that I have contacted the Mercury News and the lady who wrote this is no longer working there. There has to be issues, which are not coming on the front. But one has to take note that after one whole year there are no reports, no stories and no other allegations by the District Attorney. --Sonisona 01:08, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Why did you nominate this article for deletion if you want it to be kept? That seems to fall under disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. Discuss this on the talk page of the article instead of continuing to edit war. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
