Sanderson does not meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia. Her one claim to fame is winning Miss Alabama, and that is not a high enough honor to confer notability. The coverage bears this out. There is minimal coverage of that win. Beyond that we have coverage from the Gadsden Times, including things like her wedding annoucement. This is not the level of coverage that raises an article to notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as there's literally no independent notability given there's only 1 trivial pageant for a 1-time career achievement, nothing else. SwisterTwister talk 07:24, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep  Meets both WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO#1 for notability.  The remedy for editors who believe that this topic fails our notability guideline is to merge the reliable material as a mini-bio to a suitable target article such as Miss Alabama.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- a state-level pageant win hardly qualifies as WP:ANYBIO#1, as multiple past AfDs have abundantly demonstrated. The GNG is not met as the sources are local and coverage is routine, as in "local person gets award". Nothing else stands out about this contestant, and in such case, article on state winners are routinely deleted.
The article contains copy such as:
  • "Her family includes her mother Judy, an elementary school teacher, sisters Jill and Margie, and brothers Marcus and John.[2][11][14]"
This is a hallmark of a
WP:PSEUDO BLP, and this article should be correspondingly deleted. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:00, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete - While there is some local coverage, it clearly does not rise to the level of meeting
    WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 20:40, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply
