Non-notable person per WP:BLP1E. Won a single beauty pageant...and the majority of this stub article is fluff. Unlikely to ever be expanded or improved. Kelly ^hi! 13:37, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete So it seems this article was created because Paquin preceded Teng as Miss Canada. No long term notability or significance. Again another rather off-putting article painting an individual in the Teng Universe as the Second Coming of Christ AusLondonder (talk) 21:29, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep~~Inquiry~~: Per answers below. Being Miss Canada confers notability per GNG as a national-level pageant~~Do we routinely do articles on the individuals winning Miss America and Miss USA? If so, why treat Canadians differently? (If not, then carry on and never mind).~~ Montanabw ^(talk) 23:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep And we do. BLP is sourced, and I think deleting a slew of "female BLPs" is not a super great aim. We even have full contestant lists by state for Miss America! (And an unlinked list for Miss Guam winners. Canada is clearly "not worth noticing" I fear. Collect (talk) 01:15, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps some of those should be deleted then, User:Collect? To suggest though that some anti-Canadian bias is taking place here is blatantly wrong and misleading. AusLondonder (talk) 02:25, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In case you missed it - my comment was directed at Montanabw's comments, and not in any way designed to be dismissive of Canada or overly laudatory of Canada - and your statement that my post was blatantly false and misleading is something I ask you to redact. Collect (talk) 02:29, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My response was to this "Canada is clearly "not worth noticing" I fear". How could you get that mixed up? AusLondonder (talk) 03:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to totally miss the comment at which that was quite obviously directed: If so, why treat Canadians differently? Collect (talk) 13:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Miss Canada is a top-level pageant (akin to national championship title in sports) and thus she has earned notability. Article should be defluffed. —Мандичка^YO 😜 05:01, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Pages on women are important. This one is notable. I noticed this a the BLP page. See Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Many_female_BLPs_up_for_deletion. I hope people do not nominate for deletion articles on women. QuackGuru (talk) 12:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep from what I can gather, this pageant is similar to Miss America and is top-level, so this individual surely meets notability. White Arabian mare (Neigh) 19:03, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as subject appears to cross the verifiability and notability thresholds. - Dravecky (talk) 11:28, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Winning Miss Canada is a strong claim to notability, but "works as a bartender" for someone with a very thin biographical article is hardly a compelling rationale for keeping. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:20, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
