Miss Angola[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable local pageant. Sources are related, unreadable or useless/dead. According to Google there are several versions of the pageants, including a Miss Angola USA and Miss Angola UK. So, who is the real one? The Banner talk 11:05, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Miss Angola is the national beauty pageant of an entire country, akin to Miss USA which also send its winner to Miss Universe. This nomination is a good example of Wikipedia's systemic bias.--TM 16:34, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Why don't you say that you are the original author? And what do you mean with "a good example of Wikipedia's systemic bias"? I just came across due to a sockpuppet active on this article and found it substandard. The Banner talk 11:45, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It doesn't matter who the "author" is, because Wikipedia is a collaborative effort: see WP:OWN. Having a sockpuppet active on the article is not a reason for deletion. Neither is being "substandard" (WP:UGLY). As long as an article is notable, as I've demonstrated, it should not be deleted. Tavix | Talk 16:28, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, being the top beauty pageant is certainly noteworthy. Miss Angola won the Miss Universe pageant in 2011. If you want sources, here you go: [1] [2] [3]. Tavix | Talk 06:15, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I see three sources about contestants but none about the pageant itself. The Banner talk 21:56, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Its a national beauty pageant. As for the lack of sources, the reason should be obvious. Here is a list[4] of online newspapers serving Angola. Two of which are based outside Angola, another link is busted. The rest are in Portuguese. Internet sources for English Wikipedia is going to be very hard. Lack of sourcing doesn't make it not notable....William 01:31, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per {[tl|MissUniverseCountries)), if it is a qualifier for the worldwide pageants, and all other nations are (or will soon have) similar articles, then even if a stub, it's relevant and adequately notable. If there are others, then perhaps merges are in order, but this one appears to be the "main" event. Montanabw ^(talk) 04:31, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
