The previous recent AfD was closed as No Consensus because there were no comments on it. This, as far as I can determine, is an unsourced BLP because none of the sources are actually about the subject. I can't find anything useful online that isn't actually sourced, first or second-hand, from this article itself (i.e. "Wikipedia Books LLC").

Very promotional and reads like an advertorial having all the traits of (but not necessarily is) a comissioned work (COI/paid advocacy). The massive tag bombing is either to unreliable sources, sources based on press releases, or non notable awards (runner up or finalist does not amount to notability).

Well they have a lot of bluelinks under their wing, some pretty famous at one time -- Mavis Bacon, Print Shop, World Book. If they had developed all that, that alone would make them notable IMO. But they didn't, they just own them now, and "at one time" was a while back for most of these and the maintenance is probably pretty minimal. The exception being Family Tree Maker which appears to get fair amount of notice from ancestry sites. But again, they didn't make it, they just bought it. I would still say "Keep" even so, if there were enough references to make a decent article. Is there?

Delete Comprehensively fails
WP:EVENTCRIT which states Routine kinds of news events (including ... viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. There are no
WP:LASTING effects, no
WP:PERSISTENCE or
WP:DEPTH. Also per
WP:NOTMEMEDIR, every single meme is not important enough to be included unless there is secondary coverage which focuses on the phenomenon of the meme itself. Over here I do not see the solid secondary coverage required for a meme to be notable. There will obviously be coverage like "10 best tweets about X meme", but these are simply proof that the meme exists, not that the meme is notable. I also see that the history section of the article is sourced to Knowyourmeme which is a
WP:USERGENERATED source and is not reliable. The rest of the references are all passing mentions. Definitely not notable at this time. I also prefer a delete and not a redirect as the Hillary Clinton campaign is not a major part of this meme. --

The result was delete. I'm
exceptionally closing this AfD early because (a) it has already far more comments than most AfDs, (b) the consensus is so clear to not cover this as an article that it is not conceivable that more opinions could realistically change the outcome, and (c) there is a parallel
RfC to decide whether to cover this material in the campaign article. There is no consensus here about whether to redirect this topic to the campaign article, and no clear consensus is likely to emerge through more discussion. I recommend waiting on whether consensus emerges from the RfC before having the redirect discussion. But if anybody does want to have that discussion now, they can create the redirect and anybody else can take it to RfD. Sandstein 20:20, 13 September 2016 (UTC)reply

inappropriate content forking. In general, it would be helpful if, during election season, we could resist the urge to create standalone articles about every partisan talking point. I would be fine with deleting this article; after all, anyone searching for "basket of deplorables" already knows all about this particular controversy. But maybe a merge is better since the subject arguably deserves brief mention in the campaign article. MastCellTalk18:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete, WP:NEO. Merging or redirecting seems wholly unnecessary. Whether or not someone adds something along these lines in the Hillary article is up to a consensus there, and we probably shouldn't be deciding/forcing that for a such a controversial issue at this AFD.

Delete I couldn't find any source which features or covers this framework. It fails WP:GNG very obviously, there is just nothing about it. The Github page also has not really much activity, and its discontinued now. The creator of the tool on github is "mananvpanchal"/"Manan V. Panchal" -> the creator of the article is
User:Mananvpanchal. Therefore the article was probably some kind of promo entry.

If you can tell me where I've even commented on the first example, it would be appreciated. But anyway, the community has long been in agreement that the aforementioned criteria is the cut-off point, and as I said, numerous other examples from AfD can be provided to back this up:

5,
6 ,
7,
8,
9,
10, and there are far more than these (note, if you are unfamiliar with the English football league system, step 6 = level 10). I suspect an SNG has never been created because it's such a specific topic that it would be silly to have a guideline just for this, particularly as consensus at AfD is obvious and very few of these articles are created anymore.

The result was redirect to
History of the Jews in South Korea as a compromise solution that tries to capture the arguments and concerns presented. The last half of the article discusses a single business dispute. The first half is more relevant, but there is a severe lack of structure with the different facts being presented in a disjoint fashion. Those problems are in theory surmountable, and it's possible that a separate article may be written. However the concerns about the relevancy of the current contents are serious enough that removing the article for the time being is arguably the best option. The history of the article will not be deleted and so may be accessed in case anybody wants to work with it.
Sjakkalle(Check!)15:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)reply
This article makes no sense. Most of the content does not refer to the topic. More than half of the article is a business dispute between Samsung and Paul Singer. Other than that, the article lists curiosities and examples that do not directly refer to antisemitism. The "history" part starts with a bar named "
Gestapo". However, although one of the main agenda of Nazi Germany became the Jewish genocide, naming a bar "Gestapo" is not directly antisemitism. I guess it is known that in Korea, China, Japan and India, many bars refer to Hitler and the Nazis. So sad it is, this shows admiration for Nazi Germany but is not directly linked to antisemitism. Someone would have to provide a scholarly source that see this connection. Making this connection of wikipedia without source is original research. It could be that the people that named the bar do not even know about Holocaust. Then, the article lists at the end of the section two "
K-pop scandals". Both do not refer to antisemitism. However, the second refers to unrespectful behaviour. Also, the last sentence in the lead states South Korea, but if you look at the source, it refers to North Korea. But this is only a minor problem. Cause, I also dispute the weight of the article. The important information is already in the article
History of the Jews in South Korea.

There should be an article about the Singer/Samsung thing, and also the existing
History of the Jews in South Korea, but this article is really just minor incidents thrown together by original research.

Weak keep but extensively re-write.Delete, per
Christian140's nomination and thoughtful argument below. [Old comment follows.] While this article does have the whiff of
original research about it, some of the article's reliable sources (such as
this article in the Diplomat and
this Time magazine piece) do assert that there's a significant strain of anti-Semitism in Korea. This is definitely a topic of encyclopedic interest, but the article clearly needs a lot of help.
ATraintalk15:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment: The Times article is also about a bar and is not refering to antisemitism. The article just shows that there is some fascination of Nazi symbolism by some people in Korea and the author states that it seems for him that Koreans "hate" Japanese für WWII, but still allow the use of Nazi symbols. So, the author derives the assumption that Koreans lack empathy for Jews. The article also explicitly states: "Nor does Korea, with no Jewish community to speak of, have an anti-Semitic streak." The Diplomat links just reports about a survey of global anti-semitism that can be directly sourced:
http://global100.adl.org/#country/south-korea/2014. This is notable as
WP:YESPOV. Like with any index, there are limitations and criticism. However, this would be notable in an article about the index. To find out if there is really anti-semitism in Korea, some research is needed, and if there is, it probably had not been published in English (see
Google scholar). It is not very likely that much research had been done considering the lack of Jews in Korea and the lack of exposure during history. Looking at the design of the anti-semitism index, one could also conclude that Koreans are susceptible for conspiracy theories since all the question are more about the "anti Jewish conspiracy theories". This is all up for future research. I wrote this in small letters since it should not be considered in this discussion, these are just some thoughts on limitations of the index and possible future research if I was a sociologist specializing on conspiracy theories, anti-semitism and the Korean society. --

Weak keep BUT delete most contents OR leaning merge to
History of the Jews in South Korea. As with many similar article, most of it is off-topic and sourced to news, in essence "anti-semitism events in Korea as documented by some random newspaper articles". This all should go, together with the Samsung incident, which could perhaps be notable on its own, but is not very relevant to this topic. However, the sole saving grace of this article comes from one sentence about " a survey by the Anti-Defamation League" which I think should be kept; there are likely few other rankings that could be added. A 2008 survey of attitudes towards religion has data on Korea (
[22]), but frankly, this is about attitudes, not antisemitism. But, seriously, one sentence... this probably should be merged. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Just a note The article references a public opinion survey. People who don't have strong opinions tend to answer "yes" to survey questions. So you get a different picture if the question were to be "Do you think Jews are over represented in some field?" than if you were to ask "Do you think Jews face unfair discrimination in the same field?"

History of the Jews in South Korea. Not enough evidence that South Korean antisemitism is a notable topic. In most of today's world people are free to have any opinion they want on any topic.

Comment: Most people here find that the survey of the ADL is relevant, however, there are problems with the design. I put this information in the article
History of the Jews in South Korea. So, I added the survey result and there is one specific article of a journalist who investigated about anti-semitism in Korea because of the survey and found no signs of anti-semitism. In the article, there is also a statement of the head of the ADL saying that there are some flaws since cultural norms in Korea affected the responses. You can also find more criticism online about the design, like that the sample is too low and that you cannot prove anti-semitism by those questions. But this is more relevant for the article about the survey or for
Anti-Defamation_League#Criticism. --

Rikster, per NBASKETBALL – "Women's National Basketball Association, or a similar major professional sports league" – wouldn't the WNBL be a similar major professional sports league for women? If the Australian NBL is listed there, the equivalent is the WNBL i.e. NBA/WNBA, NBL/WNBL.

Not necessarily. A fact of life is that women's basketball is not covered as widely as men's. The WNBA (the only women's league listed in the guideline) has the full marketing backing of the most popular basketball league in the world, has a national tv contract, and is covered nationally by pretty much every US media outlet - is that true of the WNBL? The "similar leagues" line is meant to help people trying to determine notability to understand that there are other leagues - like the Greek and Israeli top men's leagues - where players may be also be notable. You certainly can't just claim someone meets NBASKETBALL if they aren't from one of the listed leagues - you have to demonstrate the league really is similar to those listed. This subject played five total minutes in a league that isn't named in the guideline, I wouldn't assume she is notable. GNG should be the standard.

Delete for lack of sources. The book could be a good start but other than that, all we have for secondary sourcing is Shreveport, i.e. hometown, paper. Doesn't offer a lot in terms of giving outside perspectives. It's too bad, to be candid I think well-sourced entries on small-town politicians could enrich the encyclopedia.

The result was no consensus. The deletion arguments are basically (1)
WP:LISTN, one of many ways of applying notability analysis to lists, which there is not a consensus to apply here, nor is it clear that approach would be most helpful or relevant for this kind of list; and (2) that the awards/nominations listed are excessive or indiscriminate for this particular topic. There is no argument that this information is unverifiable or otherwise clearly contrary to policy, and so this discussion then boils down to an editing dispute over what awards/nominations it is appropriate or relevant to list for this topic, and whether the information is then substantial enough to merit a
WP:SPLIT from the parent bio article. And if it isn't, whether anything should be merged or the title just redirected to the corresponding section in the parent article. Editors are encouraged to continue an informed discussion on either the list or parent article's talk page. postdlf (talk)

Nominations are no longer part of
WP:PORNBIO, so they do not contribute to an actor's notability. The award nominations themselves are non-notable. The awards proper are already included in the main article
Sandra Romain, so the list is unnecessary. The subject fails
WP:GNG as there's no significant secondary RS coverage of the topic; the article is exclusively cited to
WP:PRIMARY sources, which do not count towards notability.
Edit: the nominations themselves are meaningless due to rampant "award inflation" in the adult entertainment industry. For example, one of the major awards I looked into had 50 categories, further subdivided into "fan" and "editor's choice". AVN's awards include 15 nominations per category, and including such nominations is
WP:INDISCRIMINATE and provides no encyclopedic value, and appears to primarily serve as
WP:PROMO for titles and other actors.

Tentative delete. Although I can't speak to the merits of including all these nominations, they don't appear to me to be wholly indiscriminate. And, aside from the subject matter (I don't even have words for the fact that a film named Cum Fart Cocktails merited a sequel), this appears similar in principle to articles like List of awards and nominations received by Taylor Swift.
However, the notability requirement applies to standalone lists the same as any other article. SeeWP:SAL § Content policies ("Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to . . . the notability guidelines."). The difference between this and the Swift awards list is that the subject of that article (the nominations and awards won by Ms. Swift) has received significant independent attention, whereas the same cannot be said here. List of accolades received by Lincoln (2012 film) is "other stuff" and may be appropriate for deletion for all I know. Rebbing07:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)reply

FiFi Awards, IFPI Global Recording Artist Award, iHeartRadio Music Awards, Bravo Ottos, Do Something Awards, mtvU Woodie Awards, Myx Music Award, Neox Fan Awards, American Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Los Premios 40 Principales, Radio Disney Music Awards or Telehit Awards have received "significant independent attention" and therefore are notable enough for the ambitious rest of the list, a list, which should of course be anything but complete... --

I see no such coverage here, whereas it is clearly present there. Rebbing10:42, 17 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment Great, K.e.coffman, you're just lying again. The last time I called it "manipulate". As you
keep alleging the same undifferentiated view, I'll call it "lie" this time. Once again: "please differentiate a bit instead of manipulating, more than half of the categories are not personal but for films, studios and websites. There are ca. 20 personal categories from which again a part is for producers. Current Performer categories are 12 (excluding 3 honorary/achievement categories)." Most porn awards are for film productions, their companies, distributors etc., only a little part of your very objectively named "award inflation" is for performers and personal (which means not scene-related) and makes notable (actually not even that as we see in grotesque AfD "inflation"). --

Comment: the discussion of the value of the awards is secondary to the fact that the article does not meet GNG. What is the significant RS coverage that covers the topic of "awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain"?

Yet, your reasoning was that nominations do not contribute to her notability. Deleting the whole list because parts of it are not notable on their own does not make sense, so you adapted your reasoning. However, you lied (or just didn't understand) in order to keep disrespecting those nominations even more by claiming that she would generally be able to be nominated in 50 categories, which is absolutely wrong but will easily influence everyone's first opinion. --

The "notable parts" (i.e. the awards, vs nominations) are already present in the main article on the actress; nobody is trying to delete them from there. Thus, this article is an indiscriminate list that does not meet GNG as a stand-alone list (see
WP:SAL).

Venerability does not require a source to be expansive. Just as
SAG can confirm
SAG Awards,
XBIZ and
AVN can verify the awards they give for their respective genres. And if you choose to look, the SAG Awards article is lengthy and poorly sourced but is itself seen to meet
WP:SAL an
WP:LISTPURP despite that "weakness". Will you be bringing it here next, or are you somehow
picking your targets? Schmidt, Michael Q.09:46, 26 September 2016 (UTC)reply
The article under discussion is not
AVN Awards but awards and nominations received by a specific performer -- we'd need secondary sources that discuss the subject of "awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain" to meet
WP:SAL, not just about AVN awards, or any other awards.

Delete: I believe that this should have been deleted a long time ago. It obviously violates
WP:NOTEVERYTHING, since it is not that of need in an encyclopedia. Dirty tricks also could refer to a more, much wider coverage of a certain subject, like "pranking". I also don't find it notable, despite the fact that indeed, dirt tricks are common in some places. But again, being famous doesn't mean it's a free pass to an article of itself. Dirty tricks usually, (just usually) don't have such reliable sources rather than news articles and these don't even focus on the nature of the so-called "trick". Should be deleted as per

no reliable sources for notability. The previous afd had some keep opinions based on his work on Spark, but he was just one of the people employed on that notable project--his highest position seems to have been release manager for one of the releases. The other possible notability is his role in Databricks. Unfortunately, all the evidence for this comes from Databricks own blog,or from others sources simply quoting him on its importance, such as the wired.com reference (no.8) DGG (

Keep. Normally, it takes 20-30 years for technology to transition from academia to industry: Simula in the 1960s vs. C++ in the 1990s; Engelbart's mouse in 1968 vs. Macintosh in 1984; Engelbart's hypertext in 1968 vs. WWW in 1994. Spark breaks this pattern. It went straight from academia to industry; actually in an overlapped fashion as the researchers such as Reynold Xin had to finish their PhDs while Databricks was being launched. Therefore, in the case of the Spark developers, either looking at academic work in isolation or industry work in isolation does not portray notability. The combination must be considered. Reynold is the lead author on papers that constitute half the technologies in Spark, and Spark is one of the most important technologies in industry today.
[28] Therefore, I think it's appropriate to consider the industry dollars as validation of Reynold's academic work.

Reynold here. First of all, thanks for being considered. I am not going to comment on anything else because as I understand that is not the protocol. However, I would like to address one comment of
David Eppstein's: "this is an indication more that this is an especially high-citation area within CS, and less something that could be used to pass". The reason I had a relatively high citation count (compared with the number of papers) is because three of the papers I wrote were some the most cited papers in their respected areas. My SIGMOD 2011 paper on CrowdDB was the paper with the highest number of citations in SIGMOD in 2011, and my SIGMOD 2013 paper on Shark was the highest in SIGMOD 2013, and my SIGMOD 2015 paper on Spark SQL was the highest cited in 2015. And the reasons why these papers have been highly cited are mostly due to my work on Spark -- it is the most popular data engine and all researchers working on these areas need to cite these and compare against it.

Delete (although a weak one) I still see it as a

The papers in SIGMOD are good, but I note that (1). There's just a couple of highly cited ones and (2). The citations rates in Computer Science are quite high and the values needs to be looked at in perspective. In addition Google scholar over estimates citation counts. For example, Scopus gives an h-index of 8 with the 159 citations for the best paper. This is much lesser than the Google scholar rates. I don't think this passes
WP:PROF
The coverage in reliable secondary sources (independent of the subject) is sparse and considerably less than what is required.

At the annual Kanaval celebrations held in 2006, their song "Trip N'ap Trip" was greeted with great acclaim by their fans. The 11-member group released its first album in 2007.

Alicia Cabrera was Miss Kansas USA. This alone is not enough to make her notable. I have searched for additional sources. I found an article that may have been written by her at a time she may have been working as a journalist. However I found no clear evidence this is by the same person, and her name is very common, there is a medical doctor in Florida by this name, who based on photo comparison is clearly not the same person, and YouTube turned up a competitor in the Miss Nicaragua 2014 competition with this name. She is one of five Alicia Cabrera's identified by IMDb, none of whom are anywhere close to notable. Neither source in the article passes the reliable and indepdent source critria, since one is IMDb which is not reliable per our guidelines, and the other is her own webstie. I did find this source
[35] which is no where near what we would want. At first I thought it was the Kansas City Real estate agents congratulating Cabrera, but on further review it seems to just be her employer doing so. On further digging I did find this source
[36] which seems to be produced largely at her urging, when your listing is Aliciacabrera.tv I think that is unlikely to be indepdent, but it does suggest the news article I found might have been written by her, but having a news article you wrote published is far below the notability guidelines. I actually made all edits to this article, except a few related to categorization, so I probably could request speedy deletion, but I am going to let this go through regular review.

Non-notable artist - this might look impressive at first glance, since her work appears to have been exhibited at the V&A and Royal College of Art, but on closer inspection both of those were as part of shows of student work, for a program that she was enrolled in as a student. This is not enough to confer notability per
WP:ARTIST (which requires that their work be a "significant part of a substantial exhibition" - I very much doubt a student exhibition counts) and there's no evidence of the depth and breadth of coverage in independent reliable sources that would satisfy

@

WP:NEWSBLOG often allows these types of sources to be used when the articles undergo the news organization's normal fact-checking process. I wonder if these articles went through such process or not. The statement "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own" is surely true, but if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner. As a business magazine with national circulation in the United States of around 931,558 (a significant readership), I doubt that Forbes would allow tripe to be published on their website. Also, inre the credentials of the authors of these articles, upon viewing the biographies of them, they are professionals in the industry, which is a stipulation of WP:NEWSBLOG for such sources to be usable. North America100015:15, 18 September 2016 (UTC)reply
"if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner" You might think that, but it's observably false about the stuff they allow on forbes.com/sites - unless it says "from the print edition" or "Forbes staffer", it really is just some random blogger, usually writing a corporate-sponsored op-ed. (I can't find it at a moment's notice, but there's a nice article I read by someone who ghosts corporate op-eds for Forbes blogs as a fabulously lucrative freelance gig.) And yes, many people think Forbes are setting their brand on fire for this. But they are in fact doing it. tl;dr if it's on forbes.com/sites and isn't a paid staffer or "from the print edition", it's some random bozo with a blog; if it isn't, then treat it as an RS. If it's a blogger who is a notable source, then maybe it's an RS - are they, say notable enough to have their own article? -

Comment -- even with the sources above, I believe it would be a case of
WP:TOOSOON. For example, the Network World coverage is titled "Platform9 is the latest to ease the container deployment woes" and contains quotes from the founder:
“For forward-looking organizations that are taking a containerized approach to applications for greater agility and efficiency, Kubernetes provides a powerful orchestration framework for DevOps workflows,” said Madhura Maskasky, co-founder and vice president of product at Platform9.
This type of coverage indicates to me the company is an up-and-comer, actively seeking publicity, and the subject is not ready for an encyclopedia article yet. "The latest" in the headline above also indicates a
run-of-the-mill company, not a pioneer in a given technology.

I figure with fewer than 20 beauty pageant related nominations pending it is safe to open more. In this case, DeFlorias is a particularly clear case of being non-notable. At first I figured it would not be. However although I found evidence that she has worked in television reporting, nothing at the level of reliable source evidence to show she is notable for such. I found her Linkedin page, which cannot be used as a reliable, 3rd party source, which shows a few more recent positings and suggests she is a sbstantial journalist in the
Pensacola, Florida market. However we would need actual reliable source coverage showing she is impactful and notied as such to go anywhere with it. Actually she evidently came back to Phoenix just over a year ago. Linkedin is meant to be promotional, but it seems like this was a step down for her, although media markets are funny things. Still, not everyone who has been a main news anchor of a big three (ABC, NOB, CBS) affiliate is notable. looking at the article we have on
WEAR-TV we see no mention of DeFlorias, which is not direct evidence, but it shows there is not any sustained attempt to have articles on all local TV news anchors. Beyond Linkedin all the sources I could find were YouTube clips, IMDB (mainly for her being in the Miss USA pageant) and Wikipedia mirrors. I did not come across any media mentions of DeFlorias winning Miss Arizona USA.

The result was delete. The nomination and the "delete" side contend that the article fails
WP:N and
WP:V for having no substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent from the subject. This is an argument based in core policy, and it would need to be rebutted by the "keep" side with references to reliable sources that indeed provide the sort of coverage we require. However, I don't see "keep" opinions that actually cite any sources. Instead, they go on about how important the award is, how the "delete" side are prudes, etc. These opinions must be disregarded for not addressing the arguments for deletion, as must the ones that do not actually provide any arguments, or that insist that a special standard of sourcing should be applied to porn articles: there is no such exception in
WP:V or other policies. Taking into account only opinions based in Wikipedia policies and guidelines, we have unanimous consensus to delete. Sandstein 20:00, 25 September 2016 (UTC)reply
This "product" produced by Adult News Video (AVN) has no coverage in independent and reliable (third party) sources. 51 out of 52 references are promotional AVN materials and are therefore do not qualify as independent coverage.

Keep Are you serious? I keep getting speachless. This award is 30 years old, existing since the first AVN Awards, the 2nd highest honour a porn actress could ever get and has not randomly been the probably first award category to get an article here (more than 10 years ago).
"[Brooklyn] Lee won the coveted award for Best New Starlet at the 2012 AVN Awards.", says ABC. Once again, why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list (your so called "product").

I notice that your source has a barely passing mention of this award, maybe three words; five words if you include the name of the awardeee. This is not significant coverage per GNG. The age of the award and the age of this article has no relevance without sources that independently give significant coverage to this award, per
WP:NRV. And unfortunately the watertight list you refer to is full of leaky holes when it comes to determining notability because these are not independent of the topic, in fact they are enmeshed.
As I wrote above, 51 out of 52 article references are AVN promotional materials, and AVN is the company that uses these awards to promote porn videos. It manufactures fantasy histories for its performers - even WikiProject Pornograhy says that. What you call random news sources, which sounds like indpendent sources to me, are exactly what is required to have a stand alone article on Wikipeida. To see why we have this criteria please see
WP:WHYN.
I see that you wrote, "Even if there were no other sources (which is not the case)..." This is exactly the case. There are no reliable sources, which are the other sources you seem to be referring to - other than promotional materials that promote AVN as a company and magazine. Unfortunately,
UEFA Euro 2016 Group A is not related at all to this discussion. There are many articles on Wikipedia that need work or to be deleted such as
UEFA Euro 2016 Group A. This is not a rationale for keeping this or any article
WP:OTHERCRAP.
It seems there is an unfamiliarity with notability criteria - as if any random assertion or source confers notability. I shouldn't have to write a wall of text to point out discrepancies regarding GNG or ORG and so on.
I had noticed that I wouldn't feed the (actually pretty arragont) troll too much by wasting my time with satisfying his non-existant believes of Wikipedia list articles. So, I took a random serious source, noticed that it was only one sentence but didn't want to waste more of the time I've already so much wasted for nothing here (instead of writing the article of an Argentine 19th century politician I wanted to write weeks ago), hoped that your common sense would let you understand what it means when ABC calles your so called "product" (only the oldest AVN Award from a time, when there was definitely no popular porn promotion) "coveted" and mainly just wanted to go to sleep and would have prefered to never see this grotesque man-on-a-mission-AfD-hell again. Oh, and how hard is it to understand that sources report from a whole award and not single award categories? Btw, "which is not the case" was refering to research! At the same time I negated the need of such sources with "why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list". --

Keep. Quinn has obviously not done any research himself and merely has checked references created by the creator. This type of nomination causes fatigue in other editors as they are not forewarned about developments and may suddenly have to work-off schedule. That is obviously a sign of disrespect towards fellow editors by Steve Quinn. Also, articles such as
sexophobia prove that an animus towards explicit forms of sexuality is not fiction, and such editors' eligibility for nominating or editing anything related to sexuality may be under question due to an inherent bias. In a nutshell, the reason this article should not be deleted for the same reason the
BBC Sports Personality Of The Year shouldn't be - its the most prominent award in UK sport. Likewise, AVN and its derivatives constitute the most prominent award in the porn world. It goes without saying. I believe such a nomination is so out of the ordinary that its possible even newspapers or tabloids might find it worth reporting on it how odd it is. Lets ask Quinn whether he would accept the most prominent technology-related award-related article to be deleted from Wikipedia? No? What about eh most prominent body-building award? No? Sounds ridiculous right? Then why shouldn't this sound equally ridiculous? Its illogical nominations like this that make me consider quitting Wikipedia for good. Whats the point of creating content when editors purge content on the flimsiest of grounds. There should be a warning on the article creation page that the prevalence of deletionists on Wikipedia is actually quite surprisingly high. I've always been astonished by the logic (or is that illogic) employed by prudes. You would think if they dislike certain content they would try to avoid it. Instead what Wikipedia prudes do is they go after it relentlessly. As if it is their hallmark to attack anything representing the naked body.

If you think I haven't done any research myself then prove this by producing reliable sources, which means independent of the subject, and significant coverage. Appealing to sympathy is not an effective argument for keeping an article - I can't seem to find "forewarning" and "work-off schedule" or "suddenly" in the notability criteria.
Phrases such as "sign of disrespect", "animus", "prudes" and "bias" as personal attacks are not convincing arguments for "keep" - I don't see these in the notability criteria. Also, the way you have confused sexuality with porn is a POV issue. Asserting this is the most prominent award for anything does not make it the most prominent, and is so far not backed up with independent reliable sourcing. Also, as per the above - notability is not inherited - for any product
WP:INHERITORG.
Also, per WP: PRUDE - "we can't keep articles with topics that don't meet the notability criteria because we are not designed for indiscriminate collections of information and images

Strong Keep 'Best New Starlet' is one of AVN's most important awards. This is Porn. Major reliable mainstream publications who fact-check and investigate everything they say do not regularly feature articles on porn - in fact it's very rare. And rarer still is any investigation or fact-checking because nobody really knows, or even really cares, what goes on in the porn industry including most of the people who are in it. Steve Quinn's insistence that only articles from reliable fact-checking Mainstream publications who are as clueless about the porn industry as a new-born baby are allowed to be sources. And since these types of sources who regularly run articles on porn are virtually non-existent, Quinn insists that since porn related articles are not sourced from non-existent sources, they should be deleted.

(Good Morning America 's description of the award as "coveted" is not significant coverage by any stretch of the imagination.) Also, there is nothing wrong with the article's use of primary sources: the problem is that primary sources do not count towards establishing notability. SeeWP:NRVE. I strongly suggest that the retention proponents make some minimal effort to locate independent sources that do more than mention the award in passing, as the existing votes are unconvincing.

DeleteVerifiability is a core content policy and it states that we need to "base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The vast majority of the references in this article are published by AVN itself and are therefore not third party sources. One source is a brief ABC gossip item that mentions that someone tweeted a photo of Bill Clinton standing next to one of the award winners. That is a passing mention and not significant coverage, and therefore does not establish
notability. This article fails a core content policy and a widely accepted guideline. Any article about an award in any area of human endeavor that relies on such poor quality references should either be deleted or brought into compliance.

"and therefore does not establish notability." As at least 70 % of the Wikipedia lists do not, as well.

And I've naively thought it could be better here (as we have many deletion discussions as well), but it is not. It's the opposite.

The result was redirect to
List of members of the AVN Hall of Fame. Editors who argued in favour of keeping this article largely cited
WP:PORNBIO as the subject is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. While true, this is a guideline on notability, and does not replace the core requirement for articles to have been the subject of secondary sources of reliable information, as argued by delete/redirect voters. No such reliable secondary sources were presented and no convincing arguments were made that a lack of independent sources was acceptable.

IMDb isn't considered reliable for its biographies, only for its filmographies (the IMDb awards sections are often very comprehensive though - I personally wouldn't use them as a first choice to cite award info though). IAFD is widely considered reliable for its basic biographical information in the adult film industry, which would hardly ever qualify anyone as notable on Wikipedia in any event. IAFD is certainly not a "primary source" by any stretch of the imagination.

The exception being Family Tree Maker which appears to get fair amount of notice from ancestry sites. But again, they didn't make it, they just bought it.

The result was delete. I'm
exceptionally closing this AfD early because (a) it has already far more comments than most AfDs, (b) the consensus is so clear to not cover this as an article that it is not conceivable that more opinions could realistically change the outcome, and (c) there is a parallel
RfC to decide whether to cover this material in the campaign article. There is no consensus here about whether to redirect this topic to the campaign article, and no clear consensus is likely to emerge through more discussion. I recommend waiting on whether consensus emerges from the RfC before having the redirect discussion. But if anybody does want to have that discussion now, they can create the redirect and anybody else can take it to RfD. Sandstein 20:20, 13 September 2016 (UTC)reply

Merge/redirect to
Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. Obviously not sufficient for a standalone article, and this does smack of
inappropriate content forking. In general, it would be helpful if, during election season, we could resist the urge to create standalone articles about every partisan talking point. I would be fine with deleting this article; after all, anyone searching for "basket of deplorables" already knows all about this particular controversy. But maybe a merge is better since the subject arguably deserves brief mention in the campaign article. MastCellTalk18:50, 13 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete, WP:NEO. Merging or redirecting seems wholly unnecessary. Whether or not someone adds something along these lines in the Hillary article is up to a consensus there, and we probably shouldn't be deciding/forcing that for a such a controversial issue at this AFD.

The result was redirect to
History of the Jews in South Korea as a compromise solution that tries to capture the arguments and concerns presented. The last half of the article discusses a single business dispute. The first half is more relevant, but there is a severe lack of structure with the different facts being presented in a disjoint fashion. Those problems are in theory surmountable, and it's possible that a separate article may be written. However the concerns about the relevancy of the current contents are serious enough that removing the article for the time being is arguably the best option. The history of the article will not be deleted and so may be accessed in case anybody wants to work with it.
Sjakkalle(Check!)15:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)reply
This article makes no sense. Most of the content does not refer to the topic. More than half of the article is a business dispute between Samsung and Paul Singer. Other than that, the article lists curiosities and examples that do not directly refer to antisemitism. The "history" part starts with a bar named "
Gestapo". However, although one of the main agenda of Nazi Germany became the Jewish genocide, naming a bar "Gestapo" is not directly antisemitism. I guess it is known that in Korea, China, Japan and India, many bars refer to Hitler and the Nazis. So sad it is, this shows admiration for Nazi Germany but is not directly linked to antisemitism. Someone would have to provide a scholarly source that see this connection. Making this connection of wikipedia without source is original research. It could be that the people that named the bar do not even know about Holocaust. Then, the article lists at the end of the section two "
K-pop scandals". Both do not refer to antisemitism. However, the second refers to unrespectful behaviour. Also, the last sentence in the lead states South Korea, but if you look at the source, it refers to North Korea. But this is only a minor problem. Cause, I also dispute the weight of the article. The important information is already in the article
History of the Jews in South Korea.

Weak keep but extensively re-write.Delete, per
Christian140's nomination and thoughtful argument below. [Old comment follows.] While this article does have the whiff of
original research about it, some of the article's reliable sources (such as
this article in the Diplomat and
this Time magazine piece) do assert that there's a significant strain of anti-Semitism in Korea. This is definitely a topic of encyclopedic interest, but the article clearly needs a lot of help.
ATraintalk15:47, 5 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment: The Times article is also about a bar and is not refering to antisemitism. The article just shows that there is some fascination of Nazi symbolism by some people in Korea and the author states that it seems for him that Koreans "hate" Japanese für WWII, but still allow the use of Nazi symbols. So, the author derives the assumption that Koreans lack empathy for Jews. The article also explicitly states: "Nor does Korea, with no Jewish community to speak of, have an anti-Semitic streak." The Diplomat links just reports about a survey of global anti-semitism that can be directly sourced:
http://global100.adl.org/#country/south-korea/2014. This is notable as
WP:YESPOV. Like with any index, there are limitations and criticism. However, this would be notable in an article about the index. To find out if there is really anti-semitism in Korea, some research is needed, and if there is, it probably had not been published in English (see
Google scholar). It is not very likely that much research had been done considering the lack of Jews in Korea and the lack of exposure during history. Looking at the design of the anti-semitism index, one could also conclude that Koreans are susceptible for conspiracy theories since all the question are more about the "anti Jewish conspiracy theories". This is all up for future research. I wrote this in small letters since it should not be considered in this discussion, these are just some thoughts on limitations of the index and possible future research if I was a sociologist specializing on conspiracy theories, anti-semitism and the Korean society. --

Weak keep BUT delete most contents OR leaning merge to
History of the Jews in South Korea. As with many similar article, most of it is off-topic and sourced to news, in essence "anti-semitism events in Korea as documented by some random newspaper articles". This all should go, together with the Samsung incident, which could perhaps be notable on its own, but is not very relevant to this topic. However, the sole saving grace of this article comes from one sentence about " a survey by the Anti-Defamation League" which I think should be kept; there are likely few other rankings that could be added. A 2008 survey of attitudes towards religion has data on Korea (
[22]), but frankly, this is about attitudes, not antisemitism. But, seriously, one sentence... this probably should be merged. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Just a note The article references a public opinion survey. People who don't have strong opinions tend to answer "yes" to survey questions.

Comment: Most people here find that the survey of the ADL is relevant, however, there are problems with the design. I put this information in the article
History of the Jews in South Korea. So, I added the survey result and there is one specific article of a journalist who investigated about anti-semitism in Korea because of the survey and found no signs of anti-semitism. In the article, there is also a statement of the head of the ADL saying that there are some flaws since cultural norms in Korea affected the responses. You can also find more criticism online about the design, like that the sample is too low and that you cannot prove anti-semitism by those questions. But this is more relevant for the article about the survey or for
Anti-Defamation_League#Criticism. --

Not necessarily. A fact of life is that women's basketball is not covered as widely as men's. The WNBA (the only women's league listed in the guideline) has the full marketing backing of the most popular basketball league in the world, has a national tv contract, and is covered nationally by pretty much every US media outlet - is that true of the WNBL? The "similar leagues" line is meant to help people trying to determine notability to understand that there are other leagues - like the Greek and Israeli top men's leagues - where players may be also be notable. You certainly can't just claim someone meets NBASKETBALL if they aren't from one of the listed leagues - you have to demonstrate the league really is similar to those listed. This subject played five total minutes in a league that isn't named in the guideline, I wouldn't assume she is notable. GNG should be the standard.

The result was no consensus. The deletion arguments are basically (1)
WP:LISTN, one of many ways of applying notability analysis to lists, which there is not a consensus to apply here, nor is it clear that approach would be most helpful or relevant for this kind of list; and (2) that the awards/nominations listed are excessive or indiscriminate for this particular topic. There is no argument that this information is unverifiable or otherwise clearly contrary to policy, and so this discussion then boils down to an editing dispute over what awards/nominations it is appropriate or relevant to list for this topic, and whether the information is then substantial enough to merit a
WP:SPLIT from the parent bio article. And if it isn't, whether anything should be merged or the title just redirected to the corresponding section in the parent article. Editors are encouraged to continue an informed discussion on either the list or parent article's talk page. postdlf (talk)

Nominations are no longer part of
WP:PORNBIO, so they do not contribute to an actor's notability. The award nominations themselves are non-notable. The awards proper are already included in the main article
Sandra Romain, so the list is unnecessary. The subject fails
WP:GNG as there's no significant secondary RS coverage of the topic; the article is exclusively cited to
WP:PRIMARY sources, which do not count towards notability.
Edit: the nominations themselves are meaningless due to rampant "award inflation" in the adult entertainment industry. For example, one of the major awards I looked into had 50 categories, further subdivided into "fan" and "editor's choice". AVN's awards include 15 nominations per category, and including such nominations is
WP:INDISCRIMINATE and provides no encyclopedic value, and appears to primarily serve as
WP:PROMO for titles and other actors.

Tentative delete. Although I can't speak to the merits of including all these nominations, they don't appear to me to be wholly indiscriminate. And, aside from the subject matter (I don't even have words for the fact that a film named Cum Fart Cocktails merited a sequel), this appears similar in principle to articles like List of awards and nominations received by Taylor Swift.
However, the notability requirement applies to standalone lists the same as any other article. SeeWP:SAL § Content policies ("Being articles, stand-alone lists are subject to . . . the notability guidelines."). The difference between this and the Swift awards list is that the subject of that article (the nominations and awards won by Ms. Swift) has received significant independent attention, whereas the same cannot be said here. List of accolades received by Lincoln (2012 film) is "other stuff" and may be appropriate for deletion for all I know. Rebbing07:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Your logic says that if parts of the list are not notable, the notable rest or actually the composition of everything together isn't notable either. In that case I guess, we have to delete Swift's list as well, as I'm not so sure if her listed
Channel V Thailand Music Video Awards,
FiFi Awards, IFPI Global Recording Artist Award, iHeartRadio Music Awards, Bravo Ottos, Do Something Awards, mtvU Woodie Awards, Myx Music Award, Neox Fan Awards, American Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, Los Premios 40 Principales, Radio Disney Music Awards or Telehit Awards have received "significant independent attention" and therefore are notable enough for the ambitious rest of the list, a list, which should of course be anything but complete... --

You misread my vote: I didn't say every entry in such a list had to be notable, seeWP:NNC, but that the subject—the awards as a collection or even multiple individual awards—must have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. I see no such coverage here, whereas it is clearly present there. Rebbing10:42, 17 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Comment Great, K.e.coffman, you're just lying again. The last time I called it "manipulate". As you
keep alleging the same undifferentiated view, I'll call it "lie" this time. Once again: "please differentiate a bit instead of manipulating, more than half of the categories are not personal but for films, studios and websites. There are ca. 20 personal categories from which again a part is for producers. Current Performer categories are 12 (excluding 3 honorary/achievement categories)." Most porn awards are for film productions, their companies, distributors etc., only a little part of your very objectively named "award inflation" is for performers and personal (which means not scene-related) and makes notable (actually not even that as we see in grotesque AfD "inflation"). --

K.e.coffman (

20:10, 17 September 2016 (UTC)reply
Yet, your reasoning was that nominations do not contribute to her notability. Deleting the whole list because parts of it are not notable on their own does not make sense, so you adapted your reasoning. However, you lied (or just didn't understand) in order to keep disrespecting those nominations even more by claiming that she would generally be able to be nominated in 50 categories, which is absolutely wrong but will easily influence everyone's first opinion. --

The "notable parts" (i.e. the awards, vs nominations) are already present in the main article on the actress; nobody is trying to delete them from there. Thus, this article is an indiscriminate list that does not meet GNG as a stand-alone list (see

Venerability does not require a source to be expansive. Just as

XBIZ and
AVN can verify the awards they give for their respective genres. And if you choose to look, the SAG Awards article is lengthy and poorly sourced but is itself seen to meet

The article under discussion is not
AVN Awards but awards and nominations received by a specific performer -- we'd need secondary sources that discuss the subject of "awards and nominations received by Sandra Romain" to meet
WP:SAL, not just about AVN awards, or any other awards.

I also don't find it notable, despite the fact that indeed, dirt tricks are common in some places. But again, being famous doesn't mean it's a free pass to an article of itself. Dirty tricks usually, (just usually) don't have such reliable sources rather than news articles and these don't even focus on the nature of the so-called "trick". Should be deleted as per

no reliable sources for notability. The previous afd had some keep opinions based on his work on Spark, but he was just one of the people employed on that notable project--his highest position seems to have been release manager for one of the releases. The other possible notability is his role in Databricks.

Keep. Normally, it takes 20-30 years for technology to transition from academia to industry: Simula in the 1960s vs. C++ in the 1990s; Engelbart's mouse in 1968 vs. Macintosh in 1984; Engelbart's hypertext in 1968 vs. WWW in 1994. Spark breaks this pattern. It went straight from academia to industry; actually in an overlapped fashion as the researchers such as Reynold Xin had to finish their PhDs while Databricks was being launched. Therefore, in the case of the Spark developers, either looking at academic work in isolation or industry work in isolation does not portray notability. The combination must be considered. Reynold is the lead author on papers that constitute half the technologies in Spark, and Spark is one of the most important technologies in industry today.
[28] Therefore, I think it's appropriate to consider the industry dollars as validation of Reynold's academic work.

Reynold here. First of all, thanks for being considered. I am not going to comment on anything else because as I understand that is not the protocol. However, I would like to address one comment of
David Eppstein's: "this is an indication more that this is an especially high-citation area within CS, and less something that could be used to pass". The reason I had a relatively high citation count (compared with the number of papers) is because three of the papers I wrote were some the most cited papers in their respected areas. My SIGMOD 2011 paper on CrowdDB was the paper with the highest number of citations in SIGMOD in 2011, and my SIGMOD 2013 paper on Shark was the highest in SIGMOD 2013, and my SIGMOD 2015 paper on Spark SQL was the highest cited in 2015. And the reasons why these papers have been highly cited are mostly due to my work on Spark -- it is the most popular data engine and all researchers working on these areas need to cite these and compare against it.

The papers in SIGMOD are good, but I note that (1). There's just a couple of highly cited ones and (2). The citations rates in Computer Science are quite high and the values needs to be looked at in perspective. In addition Google scholar over estimates citation counts. For example, Scopus gives an h-index of 8 with the 159 citations for the best paper. This is much lesser than the Google scholar rates. I don't think this passes
WP:PROF
The coverage in reliable secondary sources (independent of the subject) is sparse and considerably less than what is required.

Alicia Cabrera was Miss Kansas USA. This alone is not enough to make her notable. I have searched for additional sources. I found an article that may have been written by her at a time she may have been working as a journalist. However I found no clear evidence this is by the same person, and her name is very common, there is a medical doctor in Florida by this name, who based on photo comparison is clearly not the same person, and YouTube turned up a competitor in the Miss Nicaragua 2014 competition with this name. She is one of five Alicia Cabrera's identified by IMDb, none of whom are anywhere close to notable. Neither source in the article passes the reliable and indepdent source critria, since one is IMDb which is not reliable per our guidelines, and the other is her own webstie. I did find this source
[35] which is no where near what we would want. At first I thought it was the Kansas City Real estate agents congratulating Cabrera, but on further review it seems to just be her employer doing so. On further digging I did find this source
[36] which seems to be produced largely at her urging, when your listing is Aliciacabrera.tv I think that is unlikely to be indepdent, but it does suggest the news article I found might have been written by her, but having a news article you wrote published is far below the notability guidelines. I actually made all edits to this article, except a few related to categorization, so I probably could request speedy deletion, but I am going to let this go through regular review.

Non-notable artist - this might look impressive at first glance, since her work appears to have been exhibited at the V&A and Royal College of Art, but on closer inspection both of those were as part of shows of student work, for a program that she was enrolled in as a student. This is not enough to confer notability per

You should know better than those Forbes links - those are blog post, not articles from Forbes the RS. Both explicitly state right there on the page "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own." The other links do suggest there might be substance for an article, but whether it's longer than a paragraph is another matter.

@
David Gerard: Well the Forbes articles are Forbes contributor articles, but I do know better that
WP:NEWSBLOG often allows these types of sources to be used when the articles undergo the news organization's normal fact-checking process. I wonder if these articles went through such process or not. The statement "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own" is surely true, but if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner. As a business magazine with national circulation in the United States of around 931,558 (a significant readership), I doubt that Forbes would allow tripe to be published on their website. Also, inre the credentials of the authors of these articles, upon viewing the biographies of them, they are professionals in the industry, which is a stipulation of WP:NEWSBLOG for such sources to be usable. North America100015:15, 18 September 2016 (UTC)reply
"if Forbes published it, one would think that Forbes editors approved it in some manner" You might think that, but it's observably false about the stuff they allow on forbes.com/sites - unless it says "from the print edition" or "Forbes staffer", it really is just some random blogger, usually writing a corporate-sponsored op-ed. (I can't find it at a moment's notice, but there's a nice article I read by someone who ghosts corporate op-eds for Forbes blogs as a fabulously lucrative freelance gig.) And yes, many people think Forbes are setting their brand on fire for this. But they are in fact doing it. tl;dr if it's on forbes.com/sites and isn't a paid staffer or "from the print edition", it's some random bozo with a blog; if it isn't, then treat it as an RS. If it's a blogger who is a notable source, then maybe it's an RS - are they, say notable enough to have their own article? -

Comment -- even with the sources above, I believe it would be a case of
WP:TOOSOON. For example, the Network World coverage is titled "Platform9 is the latest to ease the container deployment woes" and contains quotes from the founder:
“For forward-looking organizations that are taking a containerized approach to applications for greater agility and efficiency, Kubernetes provides a powerful orchestration framework for DevOps workflows,” said Madhura Maskasky, co-founder and vice president of product at Platform9.
This type of coverage indicates to me the company is an up-and-comer, actively seeking publicity, and the subject is not ready for an encyclopedia article yet. "The latest" in the headline above also indicates a
run-of-the-mill company, not a pioneer in a given technology.

I figure with fewer than 20 beauty pageant related nominations pending it is safe to open more. In this case, DeFlorias is a particularly clear case of being non-notable. At first I figured it would not be. However although I found evidence that she has worked in television reporting, nothing at the level of reliable source evidence to show she is notable for such. I found her Linkedin page, which cannot be used as a reliable, 3rd party source, which shows a few more recent positings and suggests she is a sbstantial journalist in the
Pensacola, Florida market. However we would need actual reliable source coverage showing she is impactful and notied as such to go anywhere with it. Actually she evidently came back to Phoenix just over a year ago. Linkedin is meant to be promotional, but it seems like this was a step down for her, although media markets are funny things. Still, not everyone who has been a main news anchor of a big three (ABC, NOB, CBS) affiliate is notable. looking at the article we have on
WEAR-TV we see no mention of DeFlorias, which is not direct evidence, but it shows there is not any sustained attempt to have articles on all local TV news anchors. Beyond Linkedin all the sources I could find were YouTube clips, IMDB (mainly for her being in the Miss USA pageant) and Wikipedia mirrors. I did not come across any media mentions of DeFlorias winning Miss Arizona USA.

The result was delete. The nomination and the "delete" side contend that the article fails
WP:N and
WP:V for having no substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent from the subject. This is an argument based in core policy, and it would need to be rebutted by the "keep" side with references to reliable sources that indeed provide the sort of coverage we require. However, I don't see "keep" opinions that actually cite any sources. Instead, they go on about how important the award is, how the "delete" side are prudes, etc. These opinions must be disregarded for not addressing the arguments for deletion, as must the ones that do not actually provide any arguments, or that insist that a special standard of sourcing should be applied to porn articles: there is no such exception in
WP:V or other policies. Taking into account only opinions based in Wikipedia policies and guidelines, we have unanimous consensus to delete. Sandstein 20:00, 25 September 2016 (UTC)reply
This "product" produced by Adult News Video (AVN) has no coverage in independent and reliable (third party) sources. 51 out of 52 references are promotional AVN materials and are therefore do not qualify as independent coverage.

Keep Are you serious? I keep getting speachless. This award is 30 years old, existing since the first AVN Awards, the 2nd highest honour a porn actress could ever get and has not randomly been the probably first award category to get an article here (more than 10 years ago).
"[Brooklyn] Lee won the coveted award for Best New Starlet at the 2012 AVN Awards.", says ABC. Once again, why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list (your so called "product").

I notice that your source has a barely passing mention of this award, maybe three words; five words if you include the name of the awardeee. This is not significant coverage per GNG. The age of the award and the age of this article has no relevance without sources that independently give significant coverage to this award, per
WP:NRV. And unfortunately the watertight list you refer to is full of leaky holes when it comes to determining notability because these are not independent of the topic, in fact they are enmeshed.
As I wrote above, 51 out of 52 article references are AVN promotional materials, and AVN is the company that uses these awards to promote porn videos. It manufactures fantasy histories for its performers - even WikiProject Pornograhy says that. What you call random news sources, which sounds like indpendent sources to me, are exactly what is required to have a stand alone article on Wikipeida. To see why we have this criteria please see
WP:WHYN.
I see that you wrote, "Even if there were no other sources (which is not the case)..." This is exactly the case. There are no reliable sources, which are the other sources you seem to be referring to - other than promotional materials that promote AVN as a company and magazine. Unfortunately,
UEFA Euro 2016 Group A is not related at all to this discussion. There are many articles on Wikipedia that need work or to be deleted such as
UEFA Euro 2016 Group A. This is not a rationale for keeping this or any article
WP:OTHERCRAP.
It seems there is an unfamiliarity with notability criteria - as if any random assertion or source confers notability. I shouldn't have to write a wall of text to point out discrepancies regarding GNG or ORG and so on.
I had noticed that I wouldn't feed the (actually pretty arragont) troll too much by wasting my time with satisfying his non-existant believes of Wikipedia list articles. So, I took a random serious source, noticed that it was only one sentence but didn't want to waste more of the time I've already so much wasted for nothing here (instead of writing the article of an Argentine 19th century politician I wanted to write weeks ago), hoped that your common sense would let you understand what it means when ABC calles your so called "product" (only the oldest AVN Award from a time, when there was definitely no popular porn promotion) "coveted" and mainly just wanted to go to sleep and would have prefered to never see this grotesque man-on-a-mission-AfD-hell again. Oh, and how hard is it to understand that sources report from a whole award and not single award categories? Btw, "which is not the case" was refering to research! At the same time I negated the need of such sources with "why should someone prove an award winner with a random news source instead of a watertight, complete and official list". --

Keep. Quinn has obviously not done any research himself and merely has checked references created by the creator. This type of nomination causes fatigue in other editors as they are not forewarned about developments and may suddenly have to work-off schedule. That is obviously a sign of disrespect towards fellow editors by Steve Quinn. Also, articles such as
sexophobia prove that an animus towards explicit forms of sexuality is not fiction, and such editors' eligibility for nominating or editing anything related to sexuality may be under question due to an inherent bias. In a nutshell, the reason this article should not be deleted for the same reason the
BBC Sports Personality Of The Year shouldn't be - its the most prominent award in UK sport. Likewise, AVN and its derivatives constitute the most prominent award in the porn world. It goes without saying. I believe such a nomination is so out of the ordinary that its possible even newspapers or tabloids might find it worth reporting on it how odd it is. Lets ask Quinn whether he would accept the most prominent technology-related award-related article to be deleted from Wikipedia? No? What about eh most prominent body-building award? No? Sounds ridiculous right? Then why shouldn't this sound equally ridiculous? Its illogical nominations like this that make me consider quitting Wikipedia for good. Whats the point of creating content when editors purge content on the flimsiest of grounds. There should be a warning on the article creation page that the prevalence of deletionists on Wikipedia is actually quite surprisingly high. I've always been astonished by the logic (or is that illogic) employed by prudes. You would think if they dislike certain content they would try to avoid it. Instead what Wikipedia prudes do is they go after it relentlessly. As if it is their hallmark to attack anything representing the naked body.

If you think I haven't done any research myself then prove this by producing reliable sources, which means independent of the subject, and significant coverage. Appealing to sympathy is not an effective argument for keeping an article - I can't seem to find "forewarning" and "work-off schedule" or "suddenly" in the notability criteria.
Phrases such as "sign of disrespect", "animus", "prudes" and "bias" as personal attacks are not convincing arguments for "keep" - I don't see these in the notability criteria. Also, the way you have confused sexuality with porn is a POV issue. Asserting this is the most prominent award for anything does not make it the most prominent, and is so far not backed up with independent reliable sourcing. Also, as per the above - notability is not inherited - for any product
WP:INHERITORG.
Also, per WP: PRUDE - "we can't keep articles with topics that don't meet the notability criteria because we are not designed for indiscriminate collections of information and images

Strong Keep 'Best New Starlet' is one of AVN's most important awards. This is Porn. Major reliable mainstream publications who fact-check and investigate everything they say do not regularly feature articles on porn - in fact it's very rare. And rarer still is any investigation or fact-checking because nobody really knows, or even really cares, what goes on in the porn industry including most of the people who are in it. Steve Quinn's insistence that only articles from reliable fact-checking Mainstream publications who are as clueless about the porn industry as a new-born baby are allowed to be sources. And since these types of sources who regularly run articles on porn are virtually non-existent, Quinn insists that since porn related articles are not sourced from non-existent sources, they should be deleted.

Also, there is nothing wrong with the article's use of primary sources: the problem is that primary sources do not count towards establishing notability. SeeWP:NRVE. I strongly suggest that the retention proponents make some minimal effort to locate independent sources that do more than mention the award in passing, as the existing votes are unconvincing.

DeleteVerifiability is a core content policy and it states that we need to "base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The vast majority of the references in this article are published by AVN itself and are therefore not third party sources. One source is a brief ABC gossip item that mentions that someone tweeted a photo of Bill Clinton standing next to one of the award winners. That is a passing mention and not significant coverage, and therefore does not establish
notability. This article fails a core content policy and a widely accepted guideline. Any article about an award in any area of human endeavor that relies on such poor quality references should either be deleted or brought into compliance.

The result was redirect to
List of members of the AVN Hall of Fame. Editors who argued in favour of keeping this article largely cited
WP:PORNBIO as the subject is a member of the AVN Hall of Fame. While true, this is a guideline on notability, and does not replace the core requirement for articles to have been the subject of secondary sources of reliable information, as argued by delete/redirect voters. No such reliable secondary sources were presented and no convincing arguments were made that a lack of independent sources was acceptable.

WP:WHYN, statements that have not been disagreed with, which is especially concerning on a
WP:BLP about a sensitive subject matter."
That AfD decesion has already been a big joke, when I've read it the last time. The whole explanation says in short: Discussion is irrelevant, I [the Admin] will uncompromisingly decide it anyway (and for whatever reason only name delete comments in my whole explanation). I would already have brought that to
WP:Deletion review if I would speak English more fluently and have more time. Also, may I remember you about
WP:OTHERCRAP? --

How can a stub in any way comply with content policies about sourcing when the definition of a stub is that it literally consists of nothing more than 1 or 2 basic sentences? --

Strong Keep NOTE: I've recently made some preliminary edits to the article in question here for the time being, and I'm sure that the article can be expanded further in the future. The subject here (who's full stage name is apparently "Sascha Koch" - maybe this article should be moved there?)
"has won a well-known and significant industry award" (namely the
XRCO Award, which is one of the longest-running & most well-known adult film industry awards, "Unsung Swordsman" award, which is a significant award category) and has also been recently inducted into "an industry hall of fame such as the
AVN Hall of Fame".
I would note that the
recent proposed change to PORNBIO (which apparently does not seem to have consensus yet?) did not remove the "is a member of the AVN or XRCO hall of fame" wording from PORNBIO. Also, the recent "Kristina Rose" AfD is irrelevant to consideration of this article here, since Ms. Rose has not been inducted into "an industry hall of fame" at all.

Comment - FWIW,
IAFD isn't a "primary" source - it's a site that usually gets its information from the adult film industry producers that have to verify that their performers are of age and/or legal to shoot adult films in the USA. It's actually been a rarity that I've personally seen IAFD-related info be proven wrong by other sources.

Comment -- @
Guy1890: isn't IAFD substantially similar to IMDB, which is not considered RS for establishing notability? The linked article states:
"It is similar to the
Internet Movie Database, in that it is open to the public and is searchable. (...) Like the IMDb, forms are used for submitting data corrections, though the IAFD's form is considerably simpler than the IMDb's. ...
IMDb isn't considered reliable for its biographies, only for its filmographies (the IMDb awards sections are often very comprehensive though - I personally wouldn't use them as a first choice to cite award info though). IAFD is widely considered reliable for its basic biographical information in the adult film industry, which would hardly ever qualify anyone as notable on Wikipedia in any event. IAFD is certainly not a "primary source" by any stretch of the imagination.

Director for the third series in Robotech and episode directed many others from the 1980s. However, not much sourcing to write up a biography. Retain as stub? 25 entries in MADB though.

Delete A number of credits but most of them are for random OVA's or shared roles on tv series. A problem with shared roles is episode counts. I'm not sure there is enough here to warrant an article.
