Miss Bikini New Zealand[edit]

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

Page created as promotion by user who appears to have very close (undisclosed) professional connections to Miss Supranational. Essentially its only claim to notability is that it decides who gets sent to this non-notable, deleted-and-salted pageant. It is also completely unreferenced - and I saw NOTHING in the 37 Google hits I got for a search for the pageant that was actually solid coverage of the pageant itself. A lot of the media stories which mention this pageant focus on the transgender model Amy Brosnahan and on Miss Bikini NZ's director, Katrina Turner's apparent tendency to say controversial things - I see few reliable sources that really focus on the pageant itself.

Delete As per nom. Appears to be strong COI/self-promotion from user undergoing sock investigation for this exact editing behaviour. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obvious delete for lack of notability and possible WP:COI. Maybe should have been speedy deleted db-promo --Jersey92 (talk) 04:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy would have been a good idea, although I think AFDs such as this are necessary to establish that the creator's work is dubious in such a way that it's clear to other Wikipedians. Mabalu (talk) 09:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - obviously not notable, as popular as it might be with the locals. I'm glad it came here - speedy deletion probably not a great idea in this case. Good call. St★lwart¹¹¹ 11:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lacks substantial coverage by reliable sources. RS coverage is limited to controversial comments made by the event's director. Not even close to satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH. • Gene93k (talk) 00:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete lacks substantial coverage in independent reliable sources.-- danntm ^T _C 20:52, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
