Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 02:07, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Movie credits probably satisfy WP:ENT and would justify an independent article when combined with Playmate-related coverage. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
At first, I was also of this impression. She appears in at least one somewhat popular movie of the time, Michael J. Fox's Teen Wolf. But it came out that was just one of those small imperceptible roles. She is listed as an actress on 14 titles on imdb, and her role is all of them is minor (with the likely exception of playboy direct-to-videos like R.S.V.P. and Shape-Up for Sensational Sex). in the movies pages I followed, you can only find her name by clicking full credits.

Does playing school girl on Private School or girl in shower on Sexy Shorts makes her pass WP:ENT? --Damiens.rf 04:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Her filmography is verified by a review of her Google Books hits. Should probably also mention something about her lawsuit about their playboy footage being used in another pornography video.[1]. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:00, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: If HW says she's notable (and his standards are not lax), there's no need for me to say more.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 00:48, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 14:13, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the combination of being a Playboy centerfold, her film career, and lawsuit make her notable. Note that whilst being a Playboy centerfold does not guarantee notability, it does not guarantee non-notability either.--Toddy1 (talk) 10:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
