Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Nicaragua 2001
No prejudice toward nominating separately. It is clear that there is some source coverage for these pageants. No offense intended, and I could be wrong, but I don't get the impression that the delete !voters engaged in source searching for all of these numerous articles. Unfortunately, the Find sources template AFD template has not been provided beneath each separate nomination to facilitate source searching. Rationales for deletion above come across as assuming that references are not available. For example, the in the nomination, it is stated, "It is unlikely that there are more high quality sources", but reliable sources have been provided later in the discussion, and those are just for one pageant, the Miss Nicaragua 2013 article. One of the delete !votes states, "we lack the news media sources to show that these are widely followed events", but this comes across as potentially basing notability upon the state of sourcing in the articles, rather than per the ''availability'' of sources (see ). Likewise, the third delete !vote states, "if we are unable to reliably source these articles then, unfortunately, they should not be retained", which comes across that the articles are unable to be properly sourced, but again, notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles, and just because nobody has come along to add sources to the articles does not necessarily equate to a lack of independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage being ''available''. Essentially, these rationales comes across as an assumption that since sources have not been added to the articles, that none are therefore available (e.g. ). However, this is false, because some sources have been provided, and just for one of the pageants, and the user that posted them has also stated that more are available that have not been posted here. None of the delete !voters have revisited the discussion at this time to assess the sources presented as well. The provision of sources in and of itself counters most of the rationales for deletion that have been presented herein
