I have nominated this article based on my reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kimberly Devine. Not a notable enough person for a Wikipedia article, and at worst, self-promotional. MartinShadow (talk) 04:24, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. Tabercil (talk) 04:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Clearly meets the criteria of WP:PORNBIO by virtue of her AVN win. Tabercil (talk) 04:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Living people-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 04:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Tabercil. Can verifiably pass WP:PORNBIO. Any issues with the article are a matter of cleanup. • Gene93k (talk) 04:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- strong delete does not meet the general criteria for notability, no mentions I can see in WP:RS. [1][2]. She may have won an award but has no substantial coverage in reliable sources or outside the porn subculture. We are not an AVN/porn encyclopedia. Sticky Parkin 18:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- She meets the secondary criteria of WP:BIO. Secondary criteria are common sense exceptions. In this case, established media tends to shun porn stars, but they can still be of general interest at certain levels of achievement. That's the rationale behind WP:PORNBIO and AVN is considered a reliable enough source here. • Gene93k (talk) 21:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed... the criteria for notability under the "Any Biography" section clearly states "The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them." Vicki has won one AVN Award, and been nominated for at least one more (I'm still double-checking my archives of past nominations), and the AVN Award has been called the Oscar of the adult film industry.

- Speedy Keep passes WP:Pornbio by such a wide margin that this nomination is laughable. All but 5 of the noms career edits are for a mass deletion campaign targeting transsexual porn stars. WP:NOTCENSOREDHorrorshowj (talk) 09:52, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
