Adult performer nominated for a single award, I'm unable to confirm the meaning/importance of the reference to hosting duties, this individual seems to approach but not meet WP:PORNBIO/notability requirements. Repeatedly speedied and recreated, I suggest SALT if the closing admin decides upon deletion. Accounting4Taste: talk 08:03, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, winning a single minor award does mean she's notable. Fails WP:PORNBIO.  Lankiveil (talk) 11:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC).

 * Delete Her nomination wasn't for a notable award. Epbr123 (talk) 00:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)


 * New starlet of the year is one of the biggest nominations a new preformer can achieve. Expecially since it was only after 4 months or 7 movie releases, please referance:

 * Comment. So, since she does seem to be a serious nominee for this Xbiz award (per the press release in the article, not the blog post above), I guess the question comes down to how "well known" the Xbiz awards are? Are they well known enough to conform to WP:Pornbio? I would point out that the guideline doesn't say the award needs to be notable, only "well known". This is rather far outside my range, so I really can't judge. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 11:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment XBiz Awards only in its second year (sic it's in its sixth year) and is not not very well known to the public, I think. This is also the first year for performer categories such as Best New Starlet. So the nomination isn't as 'serious' as say for the AVN Awards for now. Vinh1313 (talk) 17:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment xbiz is the 2nd biggest award show under avn- youcan go to xbiz.com to read more


 * here is another source about herwww.naked-paper.com


 * she also has worked for penthouse,playboy, and foxx magazine with  in the past months and should be released in the coming months per her forum board on freeones.com
 * http://board.freeones.com/search.php?searchid=13868290
 * you can see she has over 300,000 viewers and is rising
 * there has been alot of issues with avn and it will not be popular in the coming years-


 * all the qualification say is it needs to be " well known" to the adult world it is very well known and its not so much the award itself its the fact she was nominated for anything - shot for well known co. all with in 4 months Who decides what is good or well known enough? Try asking peolpe like Tony Batman or Wankus that are heavily involved in the adult scene- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.86.58 (talk) 00:42, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails wp:bio. Award is brand new and relatively unknown. All sources for Tessa are either self-published, press releases, or are trivial coverage. Vinh1313 (talk) 01:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I am not trying to argue just simply frustrated and yes i am talking on the link you provided as well. Sammi rhodes for example is on wikipedia for awhile now and just now- 2 weeks ago won an award at avn- It is an accomplishment and credible in itself to  be nominated  for the first ever new female starlet award at the xbiz awards- also all done with in 4 months all everyone  else against her is a contract star-  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.86.58 (talk) 04:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Shyla stylez is also on wikiapedia and she has no awards or nominations just drama  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.86.58 (talk) 04:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment You should check Shyla Stylez again. You shouldn't question another article's notability to defend Tessa's. The only thing you may accomplish is getting both deleted. Vinh1313 (talk) 21:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
