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 guideline. Damiens.rf 02:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Information in article already makes notability clear, just needs references which are available on google news. Article needs improvement with additional references, not deletion. Monty₈₄₅ 03:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- All the article says about her is that (1) She took her cloths off for Playboy in many occasions; (2) She was a Barker's Beauty on The Price Is Right and (3) She iswas married to a notable drummer. I disagree this qualifies her under the notabiltiy guideline. --Damiens.rf 03:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - The notability guidelines require coverage by multiple independent and reliable sources, which she has, and she was on a daily tv program. Seems clear notability to me. Monty ₈₄₅ 03:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, if being one of The Price is Right models gives you notability, then you would have a point. But isn't this too small of a role?
    
    I fully agree with you in that the notability guidelines require coverage by multiple independent and reliable sources. But does she had that? All references in her article come from Playboy (except one that is a link to a youtube video (???) ). Where are those independent sources you mention? --Damiens.rf 06:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think her non-Playmate activities/coverage justify an independent article, although there's clearly a need for sourcing improvement here. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:34, 28 April 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) 14:03, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
