I'm not really sure why a Miss USA contestant should have their own wiki page.

It would have been nice if you'd signed off so we could discuss this. Why shouldn't they? I think its perfectly reasonable - the pageant is in less than a month and this is a good place to go for people wanting to find out more about the delegates involved.

And not to make a mountain out of a molehill, but I was just thinking about the relevance of these pages to any non-pageant-fans, and I now have an answer :) Someone once suggested that I think about the users of Wikipedia in twenty years time... what would they find helpful. As you will see here: Category:Miss USA delegates, many Miss USA delegates have gone on to bigger and brighter things... and in a few years time they could well be the delegates of the Miss USA class of 2006 CarlyPalmer 02:33, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There certainly are some that have gone on and done bigger and better things - Halle Barry comes to mind and I'm sure there are many others. When they do something else besides be in the Miss USA pageant (unless maybe they win) then I think they might deserve their own page. Until then, I think the more appropriate thing would be to have a section on the current winner and her biography on each Miss USA state pageant wiki page. I think every state winner having their own page is a bit much. Just my opinion.

I tend to agree with the bashful anonymous complainant above—it's not necessary for each one of these young ladies to have her own Wikipedia article—but I copyedited this article anyway. With a pretty mugshot like that, how the heck could I resist? She looks like the kind of hearty and wholesome maid who would appreciate good spelling and grammar. -- Muffuletta 07:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
