• Speedy keep, likely bad faith nom, possible vandalism. Nominator's account name worries me. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep per Quidditch. ConDem^Talk 00:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep per above. Keppa 00:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Super speedy keep. Nominator also seems to be spamming the AfD list, that needs to be taken care of as well. WarpstarRider 01:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Quidditch banta 01:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Beauty pageant winners are notable? Really? I can see the reasoning behind having articles for each Miss America and Miss USA, but do we really want 100 articles per year on individual states' winners? Anyway, I'm voting a very weak keep based on WP:NOT paper and the clearly bad-faith nomination. --Hyperbole 01:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Moderate keep - I don't really like pop-culture, but being the state champion is relatively notable. Pageantry isn't particularly skillful, but it is relatively notable in a celebrity sense.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weakish keep per Hyperbole and Blnguyen - Metamagician3000 02:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep- apparent bad faith nom. Nothing much wrong with this article. The El Reyko 05:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Soben (and the other delegates) will appear live on national television, they have been interviewed on Fox, NBC, appeared on Regis and Kelly (as part of the Miss USA pageant), been featured prominently in local newspapers, and, quite simply, she holds her state title, which is quite an accomplishment. I am one of the editors of this article, but I believe Soben is definitely notable enough for Wikipedia. And don't forget, WP:NOT paper. PageantUpdater 06:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep as above. I hate to assume bad faith, but this does appear to be a bad faith nomination. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 09:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep, bad faith AFD nomination as the username suggests. --Terence Ong 13:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep only because this is apparently a bad faith nomination. The idea that a beauty pagent contestant (not winner) is somehow notable and meets WP:BIO sans any actual accomplishments is a pretty big stretch though. I guess that 15 minutes of fame buys you a wikipedia article now.--Isotope23 15:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep She is a winner (albeit at a state-level). Reasonable media coverage. So, she's been found notable. --Rob 16:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep bad faith M1ss1ontomars2k4 18:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, if this article goes there's at least 50 others that would have to. --AlexWCovington (talk) 19:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, you say that like it's a bad thing...--Isotope23 20:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete shie is only a state winner, will be forgotten next year, unles she wins, then recreate.  Funky Monkey  (talk)  01:01, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Only a state winner? Soben perhaps isn't the best case, but some of these girls (TX, LA) have competed for years (6, in one case) against hundreds of girls each year. A major acheivement, and they get tons of coverage in local press. PageantUpdater 01:08, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP: WHY is this particular entry being considered for deletion, but not others? This is a notable entry, considering that Soben is the FIRST CAMBODIAN to win this title, making history. Her community is very proud of her and she deserves to be acknowledged in as many ways as possible — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakemonster (talk • contribs) 06:53, 22 April 2006
