Britney Rears

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No sources, reliable or otherwise. No assertion of notability. And it's utter crap, mostly porn advertising. Delete.VivianDarkbloom (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article previously survived a VfD. See Articles for deletion/Britany rears. Pburka (talk) 23:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not Really. That article was about a performer who's since changed her pornname. THis one is about a fictional character. There's no record of an Afd on the discussion page. Apparently somebody disambiguated the two a while back. VivianDarkbloom (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. Tabercil (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrong. The VFD is in the edit history for this article, there was no disambiguation. Jessica Sweet both played the character and used it as her stage name for a while which is why it still had an infobox when you put it up for AfD.Horrorshowj (talk) 06:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

*Snowball merge anyone? That's a new one...--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 07:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge any sourcable info with Hillary Scott or Jessica Sweet. Epbr123 (talk) 23:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Horrorshowj. Seems to be one of the more notable porn film series. Epbr123 (talk) 18:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Epbr123. It's a porn character played by two different porn actresses. Vinh1313 (talk) 23:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Hillary Scott --T-rex 00:36, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Epbr123, turning this article into a disambiguation page for the two. Pburka (talk) 00:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or keep per Horrorshowj. Definitely don't delete. Pburka (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per User:Epbr123. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 02:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Epbr123 Steve355 (talk) 03:29, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Epbr123 and Pburka. Tabercil (talk) 06:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not a snowball merge, because the name "Britney Rears" is given to more than one actress.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 16:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge does seem like the best solution - snowball or not. Natalie (talk) 16:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 *  Weak Keep I would suggest nom reread the deletion policy. When claiming an article is unsourceable, you're supposed to put out some effort to find sources yourself first. There are 74 articles on AVN,  and a few more on Xbiz. Even with wading through press releases, it appears the entire article is sourceable. The article's subject, at least currently, appears to be the film series as a whole not just it's main character, which is probably as it should be.  I'm also curious about the series awards performance, but will check on that later.Horrorshowj (talk) 00:08, 9 January 2008 (UTC) Third film won an award for "Best Comedy or Parody" from XRCO, and was nominated for "Best Sex Comedy" by AVN. Horrorshowj (talk) 12:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Just wanted to note that AVN is not an independent reliable source for the film articles they publish since it takes money from companies to publicise movies in the forms of ads, press releases, and even the articles themselves. I don't know how XBiz works. Vinh1313 (talk) 03:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -RiverHockey (talk) 00:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to be notable: plenty of sources, has won awards. Everyking (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, or just Merge to Hillary Scott. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The article has been almost completely rewritten since the nomination occurred. Asserts notability based on award wins, and 3 of the 4 movies are sourced. Sources available on AVN to source part 2 fully as well, but that section needs to be expanded significantly anyway. Horrorshowj (talk) 23:36, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
