Being a Playboy playmate does not makes 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 00:58, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1995. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article. This has been the outcome of most recent AFD discussions for less prominent Playmates as well the way most recently named Playmates have been handled.

Keep - Playmate of the Year award satisfies PORNBIO, whether it is a strategic commercial decision or not. Google news hits reveals various reliable sources that cover the subject to satisfy WP:BASIC, the depth that goes beyond just trivial. Morbidthoughts (talk) 14:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Playmate of the Year is not an award. What did you find on gnews that qualifies as non-trivial coverage about the subject? --Damiens.rf 14:37, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - That dog don't hunt. From that google news search, Dallas Morning News May 19, 1996, May 4, 1996, New York Daily News - Feb 29, 1996. BTW, I don't read a "playmatehood" exception to the GNG or BASIC. What qualifies as trivia is discussed in note 6 of WP:BASIC. Morbidthoughts (talk) 17:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Trivial coverage is excluded. It does not support notability. Per GNG. --Damiens.rf 20:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Other projects can cover this material, Wikipedia consensus has determined that Wikipedia is not that project. Should sourcing and claim of notability sufficient for Wikipedia later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

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) 14:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not notable by virtue of being a Playmate, and I can't find any significant coverage of her in reliable sources. By the way, 'delete' here means 'delete', not 'merge & redirect to a list', for the reasons given by Dekkapai above - if a person is non-notable, we shouldn't have an article on them at all. Merging to a list doesn't affect the lack of notability. Robofish (talk) 23:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets GNG, also playmate of the year.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 02:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
