 * Slogan, maybe you should check the notability page first before you label something as non-notable. As much as I'd like to agree with you, unfortunatly, one of the notability criteria is that the subject should have been subject to 'multiple non-trivial mentions in media independent from the source' and since she's making multiple appearences in and on the cover of various glossy magazines, this unfortunatly means that yet another pointless myspace brat is acceptable to Wikipedia.

This article is self-promotion of a person who has nothing to promote. She has achieved nothing except a few magazine covers, and is still not considered a model. Until she has released a project or contributed to the Arts in a notable way, why should she have a Wikipedia page? She is known only on the internet and if she is allowed a page then surely anyone who is a "myspace celebrity" should be allowed an entry on wikipedia, because that is all she is known for. If this page remains then the credibility of Wikipedia needs to be questioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.91.182 (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) It's not self-promotion. Unless Ms Kennedy is one of the anonymous IPs who have edited the article, she hasn't touched it to my knowledge. 2) Why is "credibility" of Wikipedia under question, because we are covering a non-entity? We have a lot of other articles on what many people might consider to be useless crap. Whether you like it or not, she fits the guidelines set at Notability (people). Of course, you are free to disagree -- AFD is that way.  howcheng  {chat} 22:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

What makes her worthy of having a Wikipedia page? Is she a supermodel like Gemma Ward? No. Is she a musician? Is she an actress? Does she have a fashion line? No. No. No. All she did was use her trust-fund to buy high-fashion clothes and then post photos on myspace, and then party every night of the week. A million other priviliged scene kids do the same thing, so why aren't they allowed Wikipedia pages as well? It's also quite funny that no-one can actually list her contribution to society/ the arts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.91.182 (talk) 02:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree that she hasn't accomplished particularly anything. That being said, she still qualifies for an article because she's notable. She's different from the other MySpace brats because she has newspaper and magazine articles written about her.  howcheng  {chat} 04:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

i came here looking for an article about cory kennedy and i found it don't delete just because you hate a subculture —Preceding unsigned comment added by REGULAR-NORMAL (talk • contribs) 02:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with User:REGULAR-NORMAL. There's a tremendous amount of scrutiny placed on individuals who have utilized the internet to achieve success, which is both myopic--and ultimately, a paradox. First and foremost, precisely where is it this debate is taking place? On a website. Wikipedia is a 'virtual' location on the world wide web; however, the content is *literally* that of an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia for a new day and age: specifically, the 21st century, in which rapid technological advances parallel that of the Industrial Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution "marked a major turning point in human society [in which] almost every aspect of daily life was eventually influenced in some way" during the late 18th and early 19th century, a similar sense of intellectual and artistic hostility seems pervasive among a particular niche of society during this new Millennium (a hasty generalization, yes: but the resistance is essentially that of luddites whose focus is on "how things were," rather than the myriad of new directions presented as both plausible and probable possibilities.)

While I concur that yes, there's no short supply of relentless self-promotion done by fave-mongers The Kinslayer describes as "MySpace brats" and User:219.89.91.182 refers to as "privileged scene kids."

However, to scoff at the notion that no one of these "web celebs," "blogstars," "cewebrities"--or in the case of visual artist Glenn Kaino, the terminology coined is "Uberstars"--might very well be capable of contributing to society/the arts is not only a premature assessment, but also a philosophy challenged on a consistently more frequent basis rather than the inverse. The beauty of the world wide web is the inevitable democratization a 'leveled-playing field' necessitates. Sure, any "privileged scene kid" has the opportunity to make his or her mark by utilizing the internet as his or her promotional vehicle. Nonetheless, the ratio of success stories for whom the proverbial pay-off occurs is arguably more slim than the less-than-less-than one percent of masochists who move to L.A. with dreams of 'Making it.'

Love her or loathe her, Cory Kennedy is a name who's earned her slot among the short-list of the "cross-over"s/success stories. An accredited actress on IMDB, a model legitimized by more than a minor smattering of product endorsements/campaigns/tear sheets, a blogger with high-traffic site views, a photographer whose work from the *other* size of the lens has been exhibited in note-worthy, respectable galleries.

Of 56 million active members, the Official MySpace Celebrity Directory has Kennedy on their 'short-list' of a modest 808 names. Simply put, the site's roster of stars is a undeniably diverse cross-section, composed of music industry icons Cher, Celine Dion, Elton John, Madonna; comedians Chelsea Handler, Chris Rock, Sandra Bernhard, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho; distinguished Hollywood actors/actresses Minnie Driver, John Cusack, Val Kilmer, Vivica A. Fox; Rap/R & B mainstays 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Beyonce, Missy Elliot, Seal; DJs Samantha Ronson, Steve Aoki; contemporary break-throughs Lady Gaga, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Lily Allen; pop royalty Justin Timberlake, Gwen Stefani, Annie Lennox, Bjork, Britney Spears; designers Isaac Mizrahi; fashion reality TV host Tim Gunn; Young Hollywood Brady Corbet, Hilary Duff,Jesse Metcalf, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Biel; rock royalty Tommy Lee, Courtney Love; socialites Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Kim Kardashian; country legend Willie Nelson, talk show hosts Martha Stewart and shows Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Night With Conan O'Brien; punk legends X; directors Eli Roth and Kevin Smith; authors James St James, Neil Strauss and scrrenwriter/author Diablo Cody.

As of September 15 2009, a scant three other names from the gamut of so-called internet celebrities have transcended this debatably-pejorative pigeonhole in which they--occasionally, at the very least--have been lumped along with Cory Kennedy: reality TV host Tila Tequila, actor/author Clint Catalyst and musician Jeffree Star.

Peacock
This article reads like a press release (a list of every celebrity she's been in the same club with can be saved for the gossip rags). Additionally, I noticed that IP 76.94.54.73, which has been editing this article (and only this article) is on several blacklists according to http://mxtoolbox.com - it seems suspect. I'll make an effort to help this article conform to WP:NPOV policy, but in the meantime I suggest that all editors take heed of WP:CONFLICT and remember to avoid using peacock language.

What makes her notable?
This article doesn't do a very good job of explaining why its subject is notable, according to Wikipedia guidelines. What is she famous for? As far as I can tell from reading the article, she just seems like someone who has appeared on various magazine covers and TV ads, no different from any other model. If an actual claim of notability is not added to this article, I intend to take it to WP:AFD. Robofish (talk) 17:44, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Cory Kennedy → Cory Kennedy (model) – No evidence of this being the primary topic; see Cory Kennedy (skateboarder). Pageviews are similar for both articles, Google search seems to bring back almost all skateboarder-related results. 162 etc. (talk) 22:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.
