No evidence of notability given that satisfies WP:BIO or WP:PORNBIO. Tabercil (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep She's an older model who was very prominent in the early 1990s. I can't imagine there's not sourcing for her-- if not currently on the Internet. Removing articles on major models from the past would result in a bias towards what is popular right now. I'm not at liberty to do such research at the moment-- maybe tomorrow, but Boobpedia's article probably has a few sourcing leads. Also, IMDB has an interview and several appearances listed HERE.

 * Comment I looked around on the web a bit, and there are a few comments that she may have been the first popular BBW porn star (for example and  ), which would meet the "started a trend" criterion, but they're not anything reliable. We need a reliable source that says that. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 16:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Article titles like "Voluptuous Legends: Roberta Smallwood--Over a decade later, this FF-cup legend remains the Queen of the Super Plumpers." would seem to lead credence to her prominent status in the genre... I'll see if I can find some information later today. I know I've seen her mentioned in Japanese sources, which, at least, shows she's known internationally. Dekkappai (talk) 18:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, my Internet search didn't provide much... All I can say is she was pretty big in the genre at the time. We get clues like the above-mentioned article, over a decade after her retirement, and a video titled "A Tribute to Roberta Smallwood", and comments by fans of the genre about how major she was to that genre, but nothing that jumps through the "Pornbio" hoops. So, I guess, on a technicality, another subject on which Boobpedia will provide the only well-written article. And more power to them. ;) Dekkappai (talk) 21:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Absolutely none of these are reliable sources. See Articles for deletion/Kerry Marie for a precedent.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 12:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Using Lanasbigboobs.com, Myboobsite/Mybbwsite, IMDB, Boobpedia and Wikiporno and trying to claim that entries on all of these together add up to some kind of notability is just totally wrong. If Wikipedia played by that standard, we could have an article on Bea Flora. As it happens, though, Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion are more strict than that.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 12:46, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Although I personally consider this porn actress to be unattractive, this has got nothing to do with the fact that I want this article deleted. I want this article deleted because there are no reliable sources that fully back up anything about her.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 00:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Dekkappai. Rray (talk) 14:27, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You might want to reconsider that given that reliable sources have not yet been provided.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 22:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
