Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss America's Outstanding Teen state pageants
at the end of the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen|afd there were concerns at having 51 such articles, and proposals were made as to how to cut this down.  I created this page as a compromise solution, and there were a number of editors who agreed that this was a reasonable compromise.  The Miss America's Outstanding Teen state pageants are the sister pageants to the Miss America system and this is the second most notable Teen pageant in the country, and also one of only two televised (on The N).  It is highly important that the names of titleholders and state results be found recorded and as Wikipedia is |not paper I cannot see what the problem is.  I feel the nominator is being vindictive - if he had concerns  I believe the nominator should have raised any concerns when this article was briefly discussed on the original afd.  If you search Google News for articles on the programme, you will find nearly http://news.google.com/archivesearch?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4HPAB_en___NZ214&scoring=d&q=miss+%22outstanding+teen%22 900 hits and if you search their normal news service there are http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=miss+%22outstanding+teen%22 121 hits.  is a guideline, not policy and the list serves more than just listing the names, it also lists the results for each state and in some cases important information about each titleholder, such as noting the first crossovers from the Miss Teen USA system and vice versa, the amount of which is only going to grow.  I know the article doesn't have much content yet but that doesn't mean it can't be expanded, it simply means that at the moment I have other priorities.  And I just saw a mention of the Teen afds... it was also noted there that the lists on the individual Miss Teen USA state article provided a way of recording the names of titleholders so individual articles were not needed. Please keep that in mind when you vote
