Christy Canyon

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nomination; nomination was broken and stuck at the top of the page. Reason given was: "obscure porno actress, NOT notable even within world of porno, NPOV, self-promotion, advertisement,." Celarnor Talk to me 04:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. With the numerous awards, I think there's enough to assert the notability of the subject.  Celarnor Talk to me  04:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, one of the biggest names of her era. A number of the key notability claims are sourced (although as with many articles it could use improvement). Likely a bad faith nomination based on the wording. --Dhartung | Talk 06:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Based on this and this (the nominator's only edits other than the one to the AFD log page), this seems to be a new user's severe misunderstanding of WP:N. There may be just a tinge of WP:POINT in the edits, though, but it's hard to prove. --Dhartung | Talk 06:21, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep. This is probably the most ridiculous AfD I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty of doozies.  Notability is not disputed here, only the lack of references -- which is a reason to improve the article, not delete it.  Strong pointiness suspected. Xihr (talk) 06:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The only reason I hesitate is that the nom was so mal-formed. I'd expect someone who just went through a contrary AFD to have a better idea how to set it up or to make more effort to get it started right. --Dhartung | Talk 07:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:N. Google News and Google Books searches indicate plenty of sustained non-trivial WP:RS coverage to meet general notability. She also passes WP:PORNBIO with the references already present as a member of both major U.S. porn Halls of Fame and winner of well-known awards. Whatever notability issues provoked this nom appear to be fixable. • Gene93k (talk) 07:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. One of the most notable porn stars. Sources, AVN Hall of Fame, etc. Epbr123 (talk) 08:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. In the AVN hall of fame, Lots of sources to use for article expansion, Still active in the industry even though not in a performing sense through Playboy Radio, many TV appearances and relation to mainstream. Easily a keep in my view. Steve355 (talk) 09:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep and Close This actress is definitely notable according to all our policies and guidelines on the subject. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
