The result was no consensus. No prejudice against a renomination which includes all the years. Per Bearcat, it would only make sense to keep all or redirect all, but his suggestion came too late in this discussion to produce a consensus either way. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:45, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this isn't an isolated case; there's already a separate article about every individual year's pageant from 2004 all the way to 2014 (the sole exception being 2008, when no contest was held), and every one of them has the same sourcing problem as this one, namely that they rely exclusively on the organization's own website and Facebook page, and cite not a whit of non-primary source coverage at all. I'm certainly not opposed redirection in principle, but do not agree that this one should be treated differently than any of the others. Miss International Queen 2004, Miss International Queen 2005, Miss International Queen 2006, Miss International Queen 2007, Miss International Queen 2009, Miss International Queen 2010, Miss International Queen 2011, Miss International Queen 2012, Miss International Queen 2013 and Miss International Queen 2014 are all subject to the same notability and sourcing problems, and thus all need to be treated the same way. Either we keep them all or we redirect them all — redirecting this one in isolation, while leaving all of the other ten in place, is not an option. Given the lack of reliable sourcing I do prefer redirection, but it's all or none and not any number in between. Bearcat (talk) 05:18, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
