Shyla Stylez

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An uncelebrated pornstar, she fails WP:PORNSTAR with the absence of any major / substantial industry awards and no widespread coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. She has a Hall of Fame induction for "Urban X," but this achievement is not "equivalent" to the AVN or XRCO Hall of Fame, as required by WP:PORNSTAR (3). The Urban X Hall of Fame is new, and it lacks obvious Hall of Famers (ie - Serenity, Mark Davis, Jenna Jameson), which makes me consider it insignificant. Urban X gives its awards through fan-voting, so their Hall of Fame criteria is likely flimsy. Redban (talk) 08:50, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

 * What did she win? Redban (talk) 21:05, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Stylez was inducted into the Urban X Hall of Fame and therefore passes WP:PORNBIO criteria #3 which states "is a member of an industry Hall of Fame". Asking us to disregard her Hall of Fame induction just because Jenna Jameson isn't a member as well is preposterous. Rebecca1990 (talk) 21:50, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Not all Hall of Fame's are created equal. Criteria #3 says, "is a member of an industry Hall of Fame such as the AVN Hall of Fame, XRCO Hall of Fame or equivalent" (Emphasis added]. Is Urban X Hall of Fame equivalent to AVN and XRCO's Hall of Fame in terms of popularity, recognition, credibility? Redban (talk) 21:57, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. The Urban X Hall of Fame is not an industry hall of fame, or equivalent to one. It was part of the Urban X awards, a short-lived for-profit awards ceremony run by one Giana Taylor, a minor porn director, married to Alexander DeVoe, a more active porn director/performer. DeVoe has won a staggering 36 awards from his wife's coatrack-event, another dozen or so have gone to his producing partner, one Brian Pumper; and, overall, the majority of these awards have gone to performers associated with Taylor and her husband. For example, in the years running up to this ersatz recognition, Sheila Stylez made about 20 releases for Jules Jordan Productions, a porn producer which partnered with Alexander Devoe. The Urban X awards and hall of fame have repeatedly been found to fail the PORNBIO standards. See

I know of no discussions resulting in a keep (under the current "well-known and significant" standard, which by consensus was made more restrictive than mere notability). If Scott Boras were to create a "hall of fame" for collegiate baseball players, and most of the members turned out to be young players he represented, there would be little argument that the "award" didn't demonstrate notability. One person's actions don't create an "industry award"; one person giving trophies out that primarily promote her husband's business interests is clearly not significant. Note that the only sources related to to this award, both in this article and the award article, are Urban X's own announcements. Clear GNG failure, no other plausible claim to notability.

 * Delete per HW's excell;ent analysis of this award. As a BLP much better sourcing then this is required. Spartaz Humbug! 19:06, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
