Lack of notability flunks wp:bio Vinh1313 (talk) 09:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Notability is established. Vinh1313 (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Just another porn actor that fails WP:BIO. Would say speedy it per CSD A7 but she survived a past nomination with no consensus TheBilly (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. • Gene93k (talk) 10:17, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, a non-notable porn star. Lankiveil (talk) 10:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC).
 *  Weak Keep, I'm a little concerned that she may not seem notable because the article is badly written. She made a guest appearance as herself on Skins, implying she's at least somewhat well known in her own right if a mainstream TV show had her on as herself. -- Redfarmer (talk) 11:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)]]
 * OK, I actually decided to do some research on this one and found out she's quite well known in Britain. She won a 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award at the UK Adult Film Awards, a 2007 Best Female Actress award from the Erotic Trade Only show (a British industry awards show for adult films), and her film, The Affair, won the Best DVD Award from the 2006 ETO show. With all those things coupled and her appearance on Skins, I think that makes her notable, since she satisfies criteria one of WP:PORNBIO: "Has won or been a serious nominee for a well-known award." Note that, while these awards don't have articles of their own yet, they are apparently well known as I got numerous Ghits. Redfarmer (talk) 12:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and kudos to Redfarmer for digging up the awards! Tabercil (talk) 13:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as well-known in Britain and Europe, including through appearances outside porn. Keresaspa (talk) 14:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep definitely notable in the UK. RMHED (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable beyond her genre in the UK with considerable media exposure (pun intended). 23skidoo (talk) 15:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, those references are solid. Seems notable.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 04:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep She is in the top 20,000 on IMBD Pro, which asserts notability. Article needs to be expanded. TGreenburgPR (talk) 17:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
