Low notability. The pageant that the article is using to assert notability is poorly structured and is a primary source (link). As for the second source, I am unable to locate any mention of Raul Patil. The top Google hit is the Wikipedia article and I am having difficulty locating other reliable sources.

Delete - I'm sure he's a hottie (and as we know hotties must ALWAYS be notable ;)) but yeah, seriously, while on one level I feel we should be encouraging the claims of alternative beauty pageant winners to notability (if only to counterbalance the grinning ninnies in bikinis brigade that mainly seems to be created by conflict of interest editors), there is no precedent for Mr Gay World contestants to have articles of their own. Even that year's winner François Nel, doesn't have an article. So, delete - although this conflicts me as I suppose he is a national title holder and if he were Miss India, he would have sources on him out the wazoo. The fact he's a gay male does sadly make him less notable than Vasuki Sunkavalli (Miss India 2011) as per coverage/sources. Which I personally hate. But yeah. Delete, despite on principle feeling he should be just as notable as his equivalent Miss India. Mabalu (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking in depth coverage in independent reliable sources. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete doesn't seem to be notable per WP:GNG, lacks significant coverage. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 07:44, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
