only proper notability is for being arrested; fails WP:NOT#NEWS. Ironholds (talk) 19:35, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Have to agree with the nominator on this one. This is a text book example of one event (No pun intended), as shown here, [1]. The only coverage of the twins are the burglaries they were charged with. Thanks. ShoesssS ^Talk 19:44, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First of all, WP:BIO1E does not exclude coverage of individuals whose notability rests on a single event; the guidelines, rather, primarily concern the question of whether both the event and the indvidual should be covered: "it may be unclear," the guidelines state, "whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both." Secondly, the subject of the entry satisfies the criteria for the notability of a criminal act. See Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts): "intense media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act." Finally, Keyontyli Goffney has made "unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre" (WP:PORNBIO), namely, incest pornography.GBataille (talk) 19:59, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Intense means intense; almost all crimes get a few news articles. When we say "intense" we're talking Moors Murders here. Have reliable, third party sources described his contributions to incest pornography as "unique"? Ironholds (talk) 23:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Almost all crimes get a few news articles": would a break-in into a beauty shop in which $2,000 were stolen receive the well-documnted national coverage that the Goffneys received? Of course not, because normally it is not identical twins working in gay porn that commit such offenses. That is where the notability of the subject of the article resides, together with the fact that Keyontyli Goffney does have an (again, well-documented) career as a fashion model. Regarding the question of what intense means: it seems to me that repeated coverage in national news channels satisfies this criterion.GBataille (talk) 09:35, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A trivial routine burglary arrest ( & no sourced indication that the career itself is notable--main work "distributed only online"). One of the nom's good nominations. DGG ( talk ) 17:40, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Distributed only online isn't correct. Magazines like Clik and Next aren't online publications. If the arrest was trivial and routine, then why the national coverage? Trivial and routine crimes don't get that.91.7.116.64 (talk) 20:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep.If the arrest was trivial and routine, then why the national coverage? Trivial and routine crimes don't get that. Porn career is also notable because of identical twin. Article should reference his brother or updated to be about both of them. --Bmoshier (talk) 09:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Being arrested is not an indication of notability. Other than that, there's no indication of notability. Shadowjams (talk) 09:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:PERP. Fails under WP:ENT, WP:PORNBIO and his arrest is just "news of the weird" that falls under WP:BLP1E. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
