non-notable beauty competition Cameron Scott (talk) 08:24, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Most of the contestants did not come from a national competition unlike the contestants in the female category like Miss World or Miss Universe. Although Mister International's unreferenced wiki article claims to be "the male version of Miss Universe", it's far from reality. This male pageant has no notable history just like the Miss Universe; no worldwide publicity, and it's not broadcasted just like Miss Universe. There are no notable third party references other than personal pageant websites; the article should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The pageant has no any mainstream news agency (like Associated Press or Reuters) that picks up the story. If there's any publicity or promotion, it is done mostly through blogs, paid advertisements, and non-notable websites. Additionally, you do not see the titleholder of this pageant making the news. Unlike Miss Universe and Miss World, Miss International still has a way to go to prove itself worthy of global news and be included in an online encyclopedia.--Ped Admi (talk) 23:25, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep Clearly not really "the male version of Miss Universe" (despite what some news says [http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25207385-5006002,00.html]) but it doesn't have to be nearly as big to be notable. Google News has many hits including maybe good refs, [http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-12/25/content_7308917.htm], [http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2008/1/7/southneast/19900603&sec=southneast] and many not in English that may be good. Also others such as from Borneo Post [http://www.misterusa.criticalbeauty.com/12_30_07_Borneo_Post_Online.html] and New Straits Times [http://www.misterusa.criticalbeauty.com/12_25_07_NST_Online.html] might be ok. It appears to have news coverage (including international), passing wp:n. Article needs changing to reflect its real status. Duffbeerforme (talk) 07:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Weak keep. While this is not exactly the most notable competition in the world, Duffbeerforme does provide some sources that are worth considering.—S Marshall ^Talk/_Cont 08:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
