Very little sources. Her claim of notability (representing Belgium in Miss Universe) has now been proven to be false. Simply just a contestant in a national beauty pageant { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 19:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I confirm after looking at several sources that she is not Miss Belgium, but a runner up. She did win a regional, but that's not particularly noteworthy. She's the runner up for the Miss Belgium title, but hasn't progressed to any international competitions that I can find in any sources. Many searches are complicated by the fact she shares a surname with the Belgium contest's president, Darline Devos. Regardless, I can find no sources attesting to her notability sufficient to pass WP:GNG. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:33, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At the event Devos was awarded first runner-up. If I understand correctly the organization then crowned the third runner-up as Miss Belgium and is sending that model to the global event. If Devos takes the elections awfully serious maybe she considers herself the winner now. In any case that was and is again another person. Belgium is a small country and mentions are not so few but mostly passing. The one article in which Devos starred is about winning Miss West Flanders. West Flanders isn't a state in Belgium (equivalents of states exist) but a province. Provinces in Belgium are (super-)local government. gidonb (talk) 04:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
