Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Subject seems to be a lovely and accomplished person, but her accomplishments (including winning a regional pageant in the Miss Virginia contest) do not make her notable. At best, WP:TOOSOON. ubiquity (talk) 20:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Regional pageant winner, not even the state's winner. She was mentioned in her local paper, but doesn't meet the overall WP:GNG. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Not notable enough. Also, the newly created accounts defending her below my comment do not make a good case for this article. Duivelwaan (talk) 22:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is someone who is of interest in the Miss Virginia pageant, and clearly won the largest pageant in the state. There are many local public figures that are featured in wikipedia and meet the WP:GNG, so I'm not sure why she doesn't qualify. She has been featured in news stories, and draws people to charity events based on her status as a public figure. billnye29 (talk) 19 February 2016 (UTC) — billnye29 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Keep Her involvement with activities throughout her state draw people much like a celebrity would. I say look at her work with Tim Tebow and Night to Shine. It was advertised that she would be helping host, which fits the role of "public figure." Although she is not a national public figure, it looks like she has significantly contributed to the pageant system in virginia.--CaligirlTay89 (talk) 21:08, 19 February 2016 (UTC) — CaligirlTay89 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Weak Keep I think the article is well cited and documented to prove that she is a local public figure. However, it could be a stronger article - after Miss VA it will have more content. I dont think that it warrants deletion though, considering her work in the community and online presence. She seems known online for her advocacy work and campaigns. --Jimhorts (talk) 21:25, 19 February 2016 (UTC) — Jimhorts (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Keep People like to keep up with the pageant titles in virginia to see what the possibilities are for outcomes at miss virginia. she is president of a nationwide organization. her work is recognized and has been published. look her up. HSLDA Lauren Mitchell. A policy writer and analyst, an advocate for children, and an award winning author and speaker. I think you'll find a lot about her online, as well as her community service. as a televised event, miss virginia viewers want to know who is competing and what their background is. That is why I published the article - for local people to keep up with who is competing. --Littleowl94 (talk) 21:56, 19 February 2016 (UTC) — Littleowl94 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

•  Checkuser note: Jimhorts, CaligirlTay89, and Billnye are  Confirmed sock puppets of Littleowl94.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete As per nom. No notability and promotional. -- Hybris1984 (talk) 15:14, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Not enough coverage outside her local media to warrant an article yet. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Just to make the consensus clearer: the only "keep" position is from the author and his or her sock-puppets, all of who have been blocked indefinitely. ubiquity (talk) 21:51, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as meets WP:NBIO and WP:GNG, This isn't a hottie !vote or anything ...... –Davey2010^Talk 01:23, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
