Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cherise Haugen
From what I see above the question hinges on two points. The first is whether winning Miss Teen USA is a ''"well-known and significant award or honor"'' as envisaged by . Is anyone aware of any guidelines or an established AfD consensus which comment on this? If it is then we have a presumption of notability. If it is not then there are no notability criteria from which to argue for inclusion. The second question is if there is a presumption of notability. Wikipedia requires that notability have verifiable evidence. That means that the presumption of notability can be rebutted if there are insufficient actual sources. Specifically  requires ''"the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity"''.  The delete arguments here take the position that Miss Teen USA is not the type of thing envisioned by ANYBIO while the keep argument is that it is. Unless there is some prior guidance or consensus to draw on this part of the discussion is pretty much a push which brings us to the sourcing.  Again, the delete argument is that the sourcing presented fails  on at least two fronts; it was not significant coverage rather it was local, routine coverage similar to the coverage received in any other 'local teen does good' story like wining a National Merit Scholarship, an award from a social organization like the Rotary, Red Cross etc or a national level teen sporting event like the Junior Olympics. None of which are considered significant coverage for notability purposes. Secondly most of those arguing for deletion say the existing coverage is 'mere short term interrest' ie . I would be interested in hearing arguments on the sufficiency of sourcing and the applicability of BLP1E from those who wish to keep the article since none of the keep arguments have addressed those issues. (Note: I have added the option to redirect to my !vote above since that seems to be how some of the other winners are handled
