Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bindhu Pamarthi
Looking at the other editors comments I am puzzled as to why there was mention of ''"no reason to think this is a hoax"''. I gave my assessment based on the "sources", being referred to above as "multiple reliable sources". The first reference certainly would be considered reliable about ''Miss D.C. Winner Bindhu Pamarthi''. The second, a |primary source of "missdc.org", ''Meet Miss DC 2013''. The third is also "missdc.org" states ''Bindhu Pamarthi crowned Miss DC 2013''. The fourth, used in two different places, is a dead link (not found), and is also a primary source. Since primary sources can not be used to advance notability the "multiple reliable sources" dwindle to one. Even if counting all four as "multiple reliable sources" three reference the same Miss DC and one, the dead primary link, is about "2012 Miss Johnston County". This might be alright (if it worked) for content but has two strikes against being used to advance notability, 1)- being a primary source about 2)- a local event. It would not matter if there were 25 references, because it is not the number that counts, so if they all reference Miss DC 2013 there would still be only the one event, which is the case here
