Vandalism
Somebody deleted "She became sexually active at age 13, but was ashamed of her rapidly developing body and frequently wore clothing which hid her figure." along with one of the external links. No reason was given, and I can't imagine any reason for these alterations, so I have reverted to the previous revision. Anybody wanting to make deletions should please discuss it here first, or at least give a reason in the edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pirate2000 (talk • contribs) 10:22, 17 August 2005

Change of Sarah Young's measurments
I have changed Sarah Young's measurements to a more creditable figure. I have taken the new measurements from a page on her official web site - http://sarahyoung.com/rankpages/featured.html. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mabal (talk • contribs) 10:32, 5 October 2005

Removal of film title
I have removed the film "Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend" from the filmography. This is due to this Sarah Young not being in this film. I have a copy of the film, and although there is an actress in the film credited as Sarah Young, she is a totally different person to the Sarah Young detailed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mabal (talk • contribs) 10:38, 5 October 2005

Reason for reversion of breast development age
I have reverted the age at which Sarah Young's breast began to develop back to 10 in reference to an interview she gave to Cosmopolitan Magazine, February 1996, issue 2/96 where she says –

$1,000,000 for a single film
I'd be interested to see a source for this claim. I have a good idea of the economic realities of porn, and even back in the higher-budget days this would have been a ridiculous figure. If true, I suspect it was her husband paying her this sum (and therefore having no net impact on their joint assets), just for publicity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.115.126 (talk) 11:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion & move
I looked at the 'Articles for deletion' page for this page. You must be kidding! Sarah Young was the number one porn star in 1990-1995 at least, maybe even longer time. She may not be notable per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pornbio#Pornographic_actors, but if not, that has to have something to do with that, the AVN awards & hall of fame are American recognitions. As the article states she did won many awards but not any which are required. But this fact in article: became one of the most recognised and popular pornstars of the era., should alone be enough to include her page in wikipedia. Unless this is the American wikipedia... 85.217.50.66 (talk) 19:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

As the person who authored the original article on Sarah, I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately it's my experience of wikipedia that when those with power make a decision, it will happen pretty much no matter what. I had one page where it was put up for deletion, I voted to keep it - the only vote cast - and then the next day he deleted it. Views to the contrary are simply ignored by wikipedia, and I've long ago stopped trying to argue against the powers that be. Nowdays I just make edits and let them delete whatever they want.

 * She was known before the web was what it is now therefore it appears to impossible to verify even a single award using "reliable" online sources. It least I was not successfull so far. And even if you take offline sources like books it's hard especially if these books are also only used mainly "not reliable" sources like it seems in her case. Here is some of what I dug out so far in my initial userfication request. As of now I'm currently rather busy with my job so I can't do much more on that in the next time. But feel free to contact me via email. By the way, her "predecessor" was also rather known but as she also was active long before the internet developed, it's probably only a matter of time until "they" decide that her article is also not worth of beeing kept as part of "the collective knowledge of mankind". It's really a good thing that there are snapshots of older wikipedia versions, just saying. ;) Testales (talk) 18:44, 10 March 2011 (UTC)


 * You are probably referring to Teresa Orlowski. Yeah, she was same kind of non-notable porn actress like Sarah...


 * On the other side, there seems to be enough info for the American stars, like Linda Lovelace etc. She was even earlier than Sarah or Teresa. 85.217.14.48 (talk) 23:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sarah won several awards and quite some erotic shops have been named after her. I remember there were also articles about her and her predecessor in main stream press. So who on earth may decide that this is still not notable? Though I'd agree that this maybe mainly restricted to Europe and/or Germany. Testales (talk) 00:35, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

The notability criterias for porngraphic actors:

''1. Has won a well-known and significant industry award, or has been nominated for such an award several times. Nominations and awards in scene-related and ensemble categories are excluded from consideration.''

2. Has made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, such as beginning a trend in pornography; starred in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature; or is a member of an industry Hall of Fame such as the AVN Hall of Fame, XRCO Hall of Fame or equivalent.

3. Has been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media.

1) It seems that her awards aren't considered "well-known" or "significant".

2) Is there any European Hall of Fame?

3) I personally have no memory of her being in mainstream media. Does it have to be a U.S. or British media appearance to count? I might find something, but I don't have any English-language (or German & French) papers or magazines. 85.217.21.121 (talk) 08:17, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The deletion of the Sarah Young article is a particularly grotesque example of Wikipedia's deletion-eager anti-porn brigade. In the late 1990s she was one of the biggest stars in Europe, and certainly in Scandinavia received massive coverage in mainstream media such as newspapers, radio and television, but as noted above the internet didn't yet exist so little online trace exists. In this recent Danish article she is remembered as a "superstar": http://side6.dk/6-nyt/article1785684.ece. --Minutae (talk) 02:28, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
