Delete per nom - No evidence of any notability, Only crap I've found are all FB/Twitter related. –Davey2010 • (talk) 14:03, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Definitely notable pageant. Per [1] and [2]. Globalbeauties only covers notable pageants and Grand International seems to be very much so notable.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Nothing approaching an independent reliable secondary source on the page as of this datestamp. Of the 117 citations, 90% are either the pageant website or a related Facebook page. Of the two sources offered by User:BabbaQ, one is the pageant website and the other is a blog. It appears the pageant has been going on for only two years, but in that time, I'd have thought something would appear in the press. Despite the international nature of the pageant, a reasonable online search finds virtually no mention (of 508K ghits, only 61 actual entries, none of which meets WP:IRS). gNews finds only 8 hits, mostly local pageant stuff. Based on a reasonable online search, I'm not convinced we could even create sourced pagespace on local qualifying events, much less the international contest.

Delete, I have not been able to find anything even remotely approaching independent about this event. Lots of marketing, lots of astroturf, but a complete lack of any apparent outside interest. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:01, 13 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]
