Completely unsourced article about a beauty pageant contestant. As always, this isn't an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself — it would be an acceptable notability claim if the article were properly sourced, but is in no way "inherently" notable enough to confer guaranteed inclusion in Wikipedia in the absence of any WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. This was also recently tagged for {{blp prod}}, but couldn't stay in that process as there was already a declined prior prod in its edit history, so it has to come to AFD instead.
The original decline, for the record, was on the basis that "See WP:NEXIST: notability is not based upon the state of sourcing within articles." — and while that is technically true, it only comes into play if better sourcing is actually shown to exist, and not if one just idly speculates about the possibility that better sourcing might exist. But no effort was actually made to show that any better sourcing existed, and even on a ProQuest search I just get a handful of glancing namechecks of her existence rather than enough coverage to actually satisfy WP:GNG.

Delete Spammy "Who's She Dating" websites, wikipedia mirrors, a phone book listing. Zero coverage found. Oaktree b (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some limited coverage from her at McMaster university she attended, nothing else on .ca websites. She's just faded away I suppose, just living her life. Oaktree b (talk) 19:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per a lack of sources and independent notability aside from just one appearance. This isn't a case of a one-hit wonder who stayed relevant for a long time, if ever. Also agree with Oaktree's reasons; Wikipedia is not a celebrity dating website. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:06, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
