Gray is a non-notable broadcast journalist in a local market who happens to have been Miss Alabama USA at some point in the past, also not a sign of notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:34, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep: Considering she has won two beauty pagents, starred in a national reality show and now a television journalist I think there is merit for notability and keeping the article, although more sources and a rewrite is needed. -- Whats new?^(talk) 01:58, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• 'Delete -- not yet notable as a TV reporter. I cannot locate RS coverage to confirm notability. Miss Alabama USA title is BIO1E and does not count towards notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:59, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• (addend: Possibly) Redirect to Miss Alabama USA as a valid search term, and the subject is mentioned there as the 2002 winner. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 10:38, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would object to that, as her name could also redirect to The Good Buy Girls given she is a co-star of the show. -- Whats new?^(talk) 21:55, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Agree there is not enough to establish notability. Her national TV show was cancelled after the first four episodes were aired, so this is not significant. The only pagents she won were state level. Would be ok with redirect except both possibly targets are equally minor. Not sure if there is a precedent for this. Perhaps redirect to one and then take it to RFD. Note there's also a redirect at Tara Tucker. MB 15:34, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tara Gray to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

• My second choice after retention is to merge/redirect to The Good Buy Girls. I recommend a redirect to The Good Buy Girls over Miss Alabama USA for two reasons:
  1. The sources are primarily about her involvement in The Good Buy Girls.
  2. Because Tara Gray is one of the starring characters in The Good Buy Girls, it would not be undue weight to merge biographical material about her there. It would be undue weight to merge her article to Miss Alabama USA since there are numerous people who have been Miss Alabama USA.

• Redirect to The Good Buy Girls seems like a good solution, since the sources presented are about the subject's involvement in the show. Useful content can be merged from the article history. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
