Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Chukanov
I changed my mind on the Trump angle (and my !vote). Laura didn't make any accusations, it was just a NY times spin against Trump, so Lambert's assessment is "spot on". Without that this subject does fail |notability.  states, ''"For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note" – that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"..."'', and there is absolutely nothing along those lines. There simply is not enough Wikipedia:RS|reliable sources even by stretching the imagination and my assessment on the references is accurate. http://web.archive.org/web/20090731121412/http://www.tftj.com/db/preliminary.htm/3/4/2008/321 This reference is titled ''"Utah 2008"'' with the subcaption: ''"Congratulations to Miss Utah USA 2008 Julia Maria Bachison. She was a semifinalist at the 2008 Miss USA pageant."''. In the forth paragraph there is "The first runner up was Jamie Crandall, second runner up was Monica Richards, third runner up was Laura Chukanow, and fourth runner up was Margot Nebeker.". The only way to read http://web.archive.org/web/20090511122150/http://www.inthisweek.com/view.php?id=285370 this reference is to continually refresh the page because "WayBackMachine keeps plastering a notification (Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived) over it, and it is titled ''Cover Story: Miss Utah USA 2009 vies for Miss USA while juggling homework and philanthropy.''.  The Salt Lake Tribune article is about comments concerning Trump and the Sofia article is about her placing 4th in Miss USA. Assertions that this is a "Perfectly good article" is mind blowing. Because there is a reference does not make notability, no matter where it is from, especially when she placed 4th. The assertion that there is "No policy basis for a deletion", given the clear lack of notability, is astounding. It is not in the lead and lightly mentioned in the body of the article with no reference "She competed the following year and won the title.",  and I had to read in the external links (''The first publication of Laura Chukanov'') ''"Until the end of 2008, when we got acquainted with the girl who had just won the title of Miss Utah USA."'' to even actually verify she won a state title. Upon reexamination, a lack of notability with just the one state win, and references used as place-markers just attempting to show there are some, leaves me no alternative but to !vote delete
