Non-notable individual. Biggest claim to fame is winning Miss Nevada United States; however, this is not a terribly notable beauty pageant (not to be confused with the more well-known Miss Nevada or Miss Nevada USA). Playing very minor TV roles and being an outstanding graduate also don't constitute sufficient indicators of notability. IagoQnsi (talk) 03:44, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Other pageant winners are considered notable, solely for their pageant wins: Julianna Erdesz, Georgina Vaughan, Randi Sundquist. The Miss United States Pageant is also notable enough for inclusion. Is a contest's subjective public visibility, relative to other contests, sufficient to determine notability of the winners? rghpkp 19:45, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I have questions about whether those three people should have articles, and that's given that they won the more notable Miss Nevada or Miss Nevada USA pageants. In fact, Vaughan's article already has a notability tag on it, and if you look at the navboxes at the bottoms of those pages, you'll see that the vast majority of the state winners for Miss America and Miss USA are not listed and do not have articles. I think winning the much less notable Miss Nevada United States is a far cry from being a sufficient indicator of notability. -IagoQnsi (talk) 23:53, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]


  • rghpkp is not a single purpose account, but rather recently created, since my original account appears to be unrecoverable at this time. rghpkp 00:44, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as the article is still questionable for the applicable notability, nothing solidly better convincing. SwisterTwister talk 04:22, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Lacks significant coverage by independent reliable sources, thus failing WP:GNG. Also fails WP:ENTERTAINER as a minor pageant winner and local TV host. • Gene93k (talk) 04:42, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am not sure if we have agreed whether winners of Miss Nevada or Miss Nevada USA would be notable (I know this was being debated for such competitions, and I am not sure what we came up with), but Billings won in a pageant we do not even have an article on. Her other claims to fame are even further from notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:14, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
