Fails GNG and PORNBIO. None of the putative awards appear significant Spartaz Humbug! 16:33, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Four of the five award wins are for very obscure awards, falling short for PORNBIO. The fifth, AVN, is arguably scene-related, excluded from PORNBIO. As for supposed RS coverage in citations, one is an interview, a primary source, and a brief writeup in Complex isn't enough by itself. • Gene93k (talk) 16:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The individual awards are all non-notable and therefore fail PORNBIO. The claimed AVN award is spurious; the award would go to the video, not to a performer who appeared in it, and in any event the article subject was not in the cast of the video which won that 1998 award.

  • Delete per my comments and Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's observation above. The AVN Award claim appears to be bogus. Substantial RS coverage not found in independent searches. • Gene93k (talk) 23:39, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Certainly very well-known at one time. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Because why should an encyclopedia bother to keep information on someone who isn't the most famous person in the world at this moment in time. Only the most well-known individuals should have an article because who is ever trying to find information on someone who isn't well known? Hobbamock (talk) 18:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • So Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of modern pop culture, is it? I assume this comment is sarcastic (although if it is why is there a delete vote in it?). -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:49, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • It is sarcastic as well as the Delete. Personally, I am tired of a select few Wikipedian editors and admins deciding what is "notable" and what is not according to a very vague and subjective set of guidelines. To me, that is not the intent of Wikipedia or its mission. Just because someone hasn't won a specific number of awards or been significant enough in someone's point of view, does not make them unworthy of having an entry in Wikipedia. It isn't like this entry is here in lieu of someone else that may be more significant. People have gone through the time and effort to create & maintain articles. This needs to be respected. Unless the article is a fabrication, undocumented or misleading - it should remain!!! Hobbamock (talk) 12:50, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Note: I've edited the article under consideration here. The AVN Award win is legit...it's just for a slightly different year, and it is for a movie that the subject here co-starred in. Without having done of huge amount of research on the subject here myself, her mainstream media appearances seem borderline so far, although one might be able to make an argument that she has "made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre" (big breast).apparent magazine appearances listing Guy1890 (talk) 05:08, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
