Per WP:NOPAGE this article should be redirected to Miss Oregon where the information is best presented in context as part of a list. The proposed redirect does not require establishing notability, which is hard to do in these cases anyway. The rest of the article is trivia like the names of her family members and that she has attended (as an observer) a bunch of pageants. Legacypac ( talk) 05:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep as her notability is for winning the Miss Oregon title and notability is not temporary. Subject easily crosses the verifiability and notability thresholds with significant coverage in reliable third-party sources. Notability is a threshold, not a competition, and inclusion of standard biographical information in a biography is standard, not "trivia". - Dravecky ( talk) 18:36, 9 December 2015 (UTC) reply

  • See also WP:NTEMP which says "In particular, if reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual."

  • Redirect to Miss Oregon#Winners as suggested by the nom and for the usual reasons (cheap, plausible, etc.) as well as my commentary on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucy Fleck. - The Bushranger One ping only 11:53, 20 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as a WP:GNG pass, per Dravecky. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 01:17, 22 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Kari Virding is not covered in the context of "a single event", she is covered in the context of holding a position that lasts a year. Miss Oregon is a title that exists for a year, not just the day of the pageant. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 08:09, 23 December 2015 (UTC) reply
Then could you provide sources that document her reign in any significant or indepth way, other then handing the crown off a year later? Legacypac ( talk) 08:18, 23 December 2015 (UTC) reply
