 * Keep Merge/redirect to Bettie Page. Page has been the subject of multiple books (e.g. those by Jim Silke and Richard Foster), and the subject of some academic study, so there is probably some material about this film available in print. However in a quick search I can only find passing mentions, and if she does nothing more in it than take her clothes off, it's unlikely there's much to be said about it. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I changed my vote because of the improvements to the article, which show the film has a history and some critical comment. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:21, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep The film is notable although minor, and has been the subject of in-depth discussion in reliable sources. I've expanded the article, adding four solid references.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  03:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. While this should definitely be mentioned in the articles on Irving Klaw, Betty Page and Lili St. Cyr, this 1954 documentary film has enough coverage, analysis and commentary to meet WP:GNG and WP:NF. Being the first such directed by Klaw and made during what could be considered in retrospect, a repressed time in American cinema, it made its mark in American cinematic history.  notability is dependent upon sources BEING available... and sure, the stub as nominated needed work... but improving articles for others is what Wikipedia is all about.  Following up on the excellent work by Cullen, I gave it some expansion and further sourcing myself.  The improved version is of benefit to the project and its readers.
