  • Comment - What is the major issue with this article that we are to consider when discussing deletion? It surprises me that Miss Philippines Earth (or any beauty pageant) has a wikipedia article for each year, but apparently that's the way it's done. It appears that there is a stand alone article for each year of Miss Philippines Earth and the ones I looked at do not have any issues with sourcing. I suspect after the pageant occurs, there will be plenty of reliable sources to add to the article so I don't really have any worries that this article will be fully and reliably sourced the way the other ones are. Perhaps it's a little early to have it in mainspace. Personally, I would keep it in my sandbox until the pageant, but it's only a couple months out, so it's not unreasonably early. Do you think we should delete the article and re-create the article in 2 months? Bali88 (talk) 03:50, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't fault User:The Banner for being absolutely ignorant of reliable sources in the Philippines, but the Philippine Star and the Freeman are reputable newspapers, and the Philippine Information Agency is the government's news agency. Rappler has its faults but usually passes RS often enough to be consider reliable. Missphilippinesearth.com looks like a primary source and should only be used on things such as candidates lists, which what was done here. –HTD 15:00, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Could you please keep your PAs to yourself? Thanks.
    • When you start looking properly, you can see the part about the pageant itself is absolutely unsourced. It is only the list of entrants that have sources and most of those those sources are related so prove nothing. The Banner talk 20:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are several third party verifiable sources that support the article. Actually, some of the participants are drawing attention in various newspapers in the country of origin (and even in other countries) in their participation to the pageant . The following articles are examples:

For sure the pageant will draw more attention as the pageant progresses. --Richie Campbell (talk) 00:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
