Keep - winning a national pageant title as a qualifier to the "Miss World" category would qualify as winning a major award. As far as I know there are not specific requirements for beauty pageant winners that exclude them from the
WP:ANYBIO criteria.

Winning Miss Czech Republic counts as a major award, unless there is a policy somewhere that states pageant titles are excluded from
WP:ANYBIO criteria..

Weak Keep I would wager that "Miss Czech Republic" is well known and significant in the context of the Czech Republic. The significant coverage in the Czech language also passes
WP:BIO.

@
Winner 42: - But is the Czech Republic notable in the context of anything else. I hate when someone gets a national award in some podunk little country (e.g. Ms.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and a bunch of folks instantly assume it's on par with winning a national level award in the United States.

@
NickCT: It is not Wikipedia place to decide what is and isn't notable. If you would like, she can be considered the winner of a regional awards such as the people found
here and
here. The subject's significant coverage (such as
[1] and
[2], and
[3] passes
WP:BIO. Would you be interested in bringing all of
Category:Czech beauty pageant winners to AfD along with all the winners of other regional and small nation contests?

@
Winner 42: - re " It is not Wikipedia place to decide what is and isn't notable" - Really??? Well golly gee. There I was thinking that's that what we did here. Admittedly she has some coverage in Czech media, but I can't find a single English language reference for her. Her notability is clearly entirely local. And has she done anything other than win a single notable pageant? Why doesn't
WP:BLP1E apply?

Oh yes. Yes. The Times of Beauty. How did I miss a reference in that fine and reputable publication? I know
WP:NOENG applies, but fact is, if she isn't notable enough to warrant a single ref in a serious English language publication, she probably ain't that notable.

Define serious. Both English sources are considered "authoritative in relation to the subject" and therefore reliable. They are also independent from the contests and third party with editorial review thereby meeting the definition of an independent reliable sources. But, the fact is that it does not matter if English sources exist at all per
WP:NOENG. Her significant coverage in Czech sources is enough. Though the fact that you didn't even bother to look at the sources in the article before coming to the AfD certainly says something.

@
Winner 42: - I bothered to search engine test it, which is really more relevant in these conversations than is simply looking at the references on the page. re "serious" - Is Times of Beauty a notable enough source to have its own WP page?
WP:LPI is a bad essay, by-the-by. Our policy (i.e.
WP:BLP1E) applies here.

Sources are not required to be in English... and that should never be a factor in meeting GNG. You can also hit up Google Translate and get a rough estimate as to whether or not the source is the subject of the article.

Sure, they have multiple titles at Czech Miss, but the title of Czech Miss itself went to Švantnerová, and not Kalousová. The individual certainly did not win Miss World! C67919:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)reply
I believe you, Kalousová did not win 2015 Miss Czech World in April. So my next question is,
who do you think is orchestrating this sham of lies, this misinformation, this twisted propaganda saying she did win it? It must be someone high up if they can influence all Czech media into printing over and over that she won Miss Czech World? And thus is going to compete at the Miss World pageant?
[4],
[5],
[6]. The official Miss Czech organisation is in on it too,
those lying bastards. And how cruel to Nikol Švantnerova, the one and only true Miss Czech World, who has been fraudulently entered into the Miss Universe Pageant. I know
a guy to contact.

Keep I agree with Winner 42, "winning a national pageant title as a qualifier to the "Miss World" category would qualify as winning a major award." Cheers!

Keep Satisfies
WP:ANYBIO and
WP:GNG. To win a national beauty pageant, and represent one's country in an international event (part of the Big Four) is notable, and significant coverage has been found already. To compare the size of the country to other bigger contries is totally out of order. Guidelines on politicians or sportsmen say "national" office or champion without any reference to the size. National is national. Period.
