Articles related to Miss Grand International appear to be a massive WP:PROMO and Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles operation. This is one of them, and there are many others. The problem pattern, described below, applies to most of the articles related to Miss Grand International.
Many claims are unreferenced and cannot be corroborated by google searches. Unreferenced claims to not belong on Wikipedia, but problems go beyond that. The unreferenced claims indicate that people associated with the event (the ones who know the event from inside) are actually creating the articles. Covert promotion. Furthermore, many references DO NOT support the statements they purport to support. Oftentimes, the claim on Wikipedia is not featured in the reference in any form. There are many single-purpose accounts and that single purpose is to create promo articles related to Miss Grand International. Some, like User: InternationalPageant, are already banned. Permanently banned. Others aren’t and continue their Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles operation.
These articles chip at the quality and reliability of Wikipedia itself. WP:TNT should be the response. University of The Purple Unicorn (talk) 18:44, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: There is a discussion alleging that I have a conflict of interest with the pageant Here. However, I believe that any conclusion regarding this deletion request, as well as other articles I have created that were dominated by him/her, should be based on the sources I provide in each proposed article, not on such an allegation.
