Tarpey is only notable for winning Miss Connecticut. The Miss America pageant system seems to emphasize causes more than the Miss USA pageant system does, but there is no evidence that the declaration of focus on a cause for the year of holding the state title transforms into notable actions for that cause enough to get press, let alone notable actions enough to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia.

Keep for now. Discussion about notability guidelines has already started on the Talk page for the Beauty Pageant project. No harm will be done by closing this nomination as "keep" and letting the project-level discussion take its course.

Comment -- The discussion is happening
here, and there is no indication that the consensus would be that a Miss [State] would be considered notable. Thus I don't believe that suspending this AfD would serve a useful purpose.

Miss Connecticut where the sources can be added to her name in the list. Reasons is, she is notable for nothing beyond this pageant.

Redirect to
Miss Connecticut. I do not see this article meeting GNG, as sources are either extremely local (Hartford Courant) or tabloid-like (Daily Mail; Inside Edition). Overall, it appears that this subject has not attracted significant interest from independent reliable sources.

Comment -- sources just above are unconvincing, They include: Stamford Advocate (local); TMZ (non RS gossip site); Daily Mail (non RS tabloid); CT Post (local), etc. If such sources were brought to a discussion on a local business, for example, the article would be deleted. BLP requirements are higher, and I'm not seeing this here.

CT Post is a statewide media source. Inside Edition is a nationally syndicated program. And this is an entertainment subject so coverage in tabloid papers is perfectly reasonable, such as the Daily Mail (which is a British publication).
Stamford, Connecticut is not a small town by any means, but a major NYC suburb; it's newspaper, the Stamford Advocate is a daily paper, with 15,000 readers.--

15,000 is very low for a daily paper.
The Macomb Daily has circulation of over 70,000 and being a regular reader I know that their articles on local people, other than crime coverage, is total fluff. I would support deletion of an article on any person who had ever lived in Macomb County that had as its main source an article from the
Macomb Daily.

I don't see how the Orlando Sentinel coverage is in depth. It is one para and is sourced to Miss America's press release:
"Hometown: Stamford, Connecticut Age: 21 Platform Issue: Our Time To Serve: Hiring and Housing Our Veterans Talent: Irish Step Dance Career Ambition: To become a Human Resources Manager of a Global Corporation (Miss America)."
Keep, We are still in flux on the criteria for article such as these due to an open thread regarding this issue. As such (for now) this article is not non-notable.
