Delete - she wasn't notable the first time her article was deleted and she isn't notable now. Does not meet general notability and does not pass WP:PORNBIO. Should have been deleted as reposted material but speedy deletion was disputed. Harley Hudson (talk) 11:12, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from an IP that were typed directly into the article itself: I'm not sure why Wikipedia is always trying to delete this page about Meghan Chavalier. She is one of the most famous transsexuals in the world. Is Wikipedia homophobic? They don't have any problem with Jenna Jameson's page and Meghan Chavalier has written 2 books and released 2 music CDS available on Itunes, Amazon and everywhere else in the world. Get over it Wikipedia even transsexuals can be famous, believe it or not. I will never donate another dime to your website. Try Googling her...maybe that will help in your decision for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.184.0.173 (talk • contribs) moved from article to AfD page by LadyofShalott 09:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC) [reply]
- "Famous" is not the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia. WP:NOTABILITY is, which must be established through independent reliable sources that offer significant coverage of the subject. The existence of a thriving LGBT Wikiproject and the well-populated Category:Transgender and transsexual people belies any accusation of institutionalized homophobia or transphobia.

- Keep winner of adult awards and notable as a writer as well.Nirame (talk) 01:42, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- She has received one "Tranny Award", a non-notable award created by a private pornographic studio, and there are no reliable sources that indicate that her self-published books are notable or that she is known as an author. Harley Hudson (talk) 02:33, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Clearly fails the GNG, zero GNews hits, all GBooks hits are either compiled from Wikipedia pages or the subject's own self-published books. Fails WP:PORNBIO and all other relevant SNGs. The claimed award is actually a website poll (with unverifiable results) conducted by a porn studio the subject works for, and is neither independent nor significant; it's in the nature of an "Employee of the Month"-type award. While the article claims the subject has appeared in "feature films," there's zero supporting evidence on this point, and one identified film, "TV Cowboy", turns out never to have been released, according to the subject's own website. Virtually all the references are either pages controlled by the article subject or similar promotional pages. There's just nothing out there to support this article.
