Created by a blocked sockpuppet. No evidence of notability. Tagged as such for a year without improvement. I checked a few sources and they all seemed to be unreliable, not significant coverage, variations of the same press release, etc. etc. This is related to but not quite the same as Miss Intercontinental which has been deleted and salted a bajillion times. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 06:38, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~: Weak but, sources such as UFDC, Pageantopolis, and El Diario (though with local focus) counts towards notability. Some archived coverage's are also found here: El Paso Herald Post, Kokomo Tribune 1, Kokomo Tribune 2. Enough to pass WP:SIGCOV.--— MimsMENTOR ^talk 13:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pageantopolis is not a reliable source per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Beauty_Pageants/Sources (and I'm highly dubious of the reliability/independence of a source attributed to "admin" - why was nobody willing to sign their name to it). I have know idea what UFDC is meant to refer to (that acronym doesn't appear in the article at all). El Paso Herald Post and Komoko Tribune 2 are both single passing mentions in a long list of people attending an event, which isn't significant coverage. El Diario is too short to be considered significant coverage of any kind. Komoko Tribune 1 is closest, but I think you would need more than "person wins this contest" spruced up with a few biographical details to truly establish notability for a topic with as sorry a history as this one. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:11, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Ecuador is a country that is literally named after the equator (which runs through it) that separates the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. Articles on the English-language Wikipedia have to be mindful of WP:WORLDVIEW and Wikipedia:Notability is not a level playing field so that countries like Ecuador with a smaller population and fewer media outlets are not intentionally or unintentionally discriminated against and excluded.

Way to go with accusing me of bad faith while failing to provide any actual argument against deletion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:39, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What does Ecuador have to do with a pageant that's 50 years old at this point? There have been several winners from multiple countries, that seems a rather worldly view. Oaktree b (talk) 21:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Lots of coverage for Miss Teen International [1], this is the Intercontinental version, which has little to no coverage that I can find. Oaktree b (talk) 21:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Withdrawing my 'keep' vote and spporting 'delete'. Mistaken for both Miss Teen International and Intercontinental were the same (thanks to Oaktree b for clarification). Upon review, I also don't find coverage enough to meet GNG.--— MimsMENTOR ^talk 13:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
