I figure with fewer than 20 beauty pageant related nominations pending it is safe to open more. In this case, DeFlorias is a particularly clear case of being non-notable. At first I figured it would not be. However although I found evidence that she has worked in television reporting, nothing at the level of reliable source evidence to show she is notable for such. I found her Linkedin page, which cannot be used as a reliable, 3rd party source, which shows a few more recent positings and suggests she is a sbstantial journalist in the Pensacola, Florida market. However we would need actual reliable source coverage showing she is impactful and notied as such to go anywhere with it. Actually she evidently came back to Phoenix just over a year ago. Linkedin is meant to be promotional, but it seems like this was a step down for her, although media markets are funny things. Still, not everyone who has been a main news anchor of a big three (ABC, NOB, CBS) affiliate is notable. looking at the article we have on WEAR-TV we see no mention of DeFlorias, which is not direct evidence, but it shows there is not any sustained attempt to have articles on all local TV news anchors. Beyond Linkedin all the sources I could find were YouTube clips, IMDB (mainly for her being in the Miss USA pageant) and Wikipedia mirrors. I did not come across any media mentions of DeFlorias winning Miss Arizona USA. John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:45, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I was thinking a High Beam search might help. It didn't. I learned that Nafeesa DeFlorias was master of ceremonies at Miss Asia Arizona one year, which suggests to me she might be Filipina, but I can't say. I also came across two sources that discuss an Arizona State University service learning course, that are both largely dependent on an ASU press release, that include a quote from here just because she had taken the course. Nothing substantial at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Summary This article is currently built on no reliable sources, and my searches have produced none. Other than her winning Miss Arizona USA, she has worked in various media markets as a TV news reporter/anchor, but nothing that has gotten substantial coverage, she is no where near passing the General Notability Guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per nominator. Also agree we're at a point where opening more is sensible now that the backlog has cleared and I appreciate the nominator's care this time around. --- PageantUpdater (talk) 08:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
