*'''Procedural keep''' is a good description. This slew of nominations looks like an attack on this traditional claim to notability. The amount of coverage every one of these contestants get, at what is essentially a media event, certainly meets GNG. I found the LA Times, Seattle P/I and Las Vegas Sun does an individual article on each contestant, much less the celebrity and fashion magazines that do coverage on each contestant. And to show the ] bad faith nomination of this particular contestant, there is an article I sourced in Time Magazine of her modeling a controversial national costume, apparently missed because the OP didn't bother to look. I think all of these noms should be '''Keep''' wholesale with the same disregard the OP used in making the noms. ] (]) 18:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC) *'''Procedural keep''' is a good description.

Are you suggesting that because the article creator/subsequent editors are in cahoots with the pagent that somehow it makes the article irrelevant? There probably are commercial interests involved. Her modeling career certainly is promoted. But it would be irresponsible for wikipedia to remove all content that might be supporting commercial interests. We report facts. You cannot deny that she won the National title and that she appeared at the World patent. Commercial and prearranged as that press event is, that does not erase the press coverage she got.
