Talk:Beauty pageant

message: Hi Wikipedians, 
I would like to raise a topic on the concept of Big 4 pageants mentioned in this article. 
As a pageant follower, I recognized that the concept Big 4 was widely mentioned by Wikipedia. However, this term may not reflect the current situation in pageantry. 
In this article, I found 2 external links leading to 2 articles which claim Miss World, Universe, International and Earth are the big 4 pageants. 
One of the link cannot be accessed. The other is in Kenyan press called Standard Media, which barely mentioned the Big 4 pageant without explaining why these pageants are big. I think that this source is not credible enough. 
In terms of estimating the significance of beauty pageants, I believe websites such as Global Beauties and Missosology are more credible than just random articles of different online news, which were often written by non-pageant followers. 
Both of these websites I noted do not have 4, but instead 5 big pageants. They all agree that Miss World, Universe, International, Supranational are big. There are some disputes over Miss Earth and Miss Grand International though. Please view these links below: 
* http://www.globalbeauties.com/blog/ranking/
* missosology.org/big5/analysis/26145-miss-supranational-is-now-a-major-international-beauty-pageant/
Therefore, I suggest we Wikipedians who write pageant-related articles should reconsider the concept Big 4 here. I suggest we will mention that there is a "Big 5" according to different reliable sources from these 2 pageant websites.
Thank you all for reading my long post. I hope to contribute more.

replies: text: Based on  wikipedia log history, Miss Supranational was nominated and deleted 5 times including Mister Supranational.  Miss Supranational is not notable based on the consensus of Wikipedia editors and deleted by wikipedia administrators since no in-depth coverage of the pageant from reputable news agencies (unlike historical pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss World). User-generated websites such as Global Beauties and Misology are not considered reliable sources based on wikipedia policy. If you think that pageants like Miss Grand International, Miss Global, Miss Arab World or Miss Asia Pacific World must be deleted because they did not meet wikipedia's notability, you can nominate these articles for deletion and editors will decide their notability.--Richie Campbell (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
