Sending this here instead of speedy because the person has some very minor notability. is Miss Trinidad and Tobago notable? Ridernyc 11:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Yes, being Miss Trinidad and Tobago does make her notable. Phil Bridger 11:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Phil Bridger. As does being a representative of her country in Miss World. seems to be a fair whack of Ghits too. tomasz. 12:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. It might be worth noting that an identical version of this article at Valene maharaj was speedy deleted yesterday as a copyvio (I tagged it). The article contains large amounts from [1], [2], and if you look closely, consists mainly of direct quotes from the subject, framed with "She stated", "Maharaj has said" etc. which have most likely come from other articles. If kept, needs to be significantly rewritten. -- Kateshortforbob 13:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The article needs a serious clean up and the original research and speculation needs to go. Handschuh-talk to me 09:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've removed a lot of material that appeared to be out-and-out in violation of copyright. Probably didn't get everything that needs to be purged, though. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 03:21, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
