The result was Procedural close. It's a little early, but I'm here now and the only plausible outcome for this is a procedural close. Evaluating so many articles in one AfD would be tough in any case, but with variations in article state, and with the subjects being from different countries (implying the need to consider possible sources in different languages), a big group nomination was definitely the wrong approach. No prejudice against speedy renomination or even using WP:PROD for eligible articles. RL0919 ( talk) 21:28, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

This is one of about 40 biographies related to pageant contestants at Miss Universe 2013. There's evidence that many of them were created by a paid-editing sockfarm; the SPI states that the pageant organizer was the editor. None of these appears to be notable under the WP:BLP1E policy, none has anything like references that would sustain WP:ANYBIO. Many articles are sourced to Facebook, Instagram, and blogs; and google searches return many sites we don’t recognize as RS. For !voters not familiar with the beauty pageant space please refer to WP:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Sources to identify bad sources. ☆ Bri ( talk) 23:35, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
I am also nominating the following because of the reasons stated above -- creation by the sockfarm/UPE editor for many, and poor sourcing:
Bundling about 40 more biographies from Miss Universe 2014 pageant. Every article bundled below was created by a beauty pageant sockfarm (mostly the sockfarm referenced above), appears to be BLP1E, and has minimal sourcing.
I am also nominating the following. Miss Universe 2015 biographies. All nominations below are created by sockfarms and suit BLP1E.
