{{Proposed deletion/dated

|concern = Marginally notable as a Miss California 1992 winner, but this is not a sufficient reason to have a Wikipedia article. Previous version of the article contained info on the lawsuit she filed and lost, and on having been arrested for shoplifting in 2010. I'm sure that's not the info Ms Marketic would like to have out there and the article is best deleted.
