She appeared on the cover of the March 2002 issue of Hustler and High Society (USA) Holiday 2001, Vol. 26, Iss. 13. Perhaps I should have clarified "adult" publications, but major nonetheless.

Being a titty mag covergirl isn't a criteria that is usable here, wp:porn bio was deprecated, and people like this now go by plain
WP:ENTERTAINER as well as the general notability policy. Notability is not temporary, but when the criteria that an article was once judged on is no longer applicable, then we have to reevaluate this person under the present standards.

You're correct. Being "a titty mag covergirl isn't a criteria". Being on the cover of a major international publication is though. —

Being on the cover of a phonographic magazine is not an inherently notable thing. One does not need fallacies to note that your assertion is unsupported by policy.

Delete citations given are primary sources (interviews, data/fact sheets), fleeting mentions (Village Voice
(archive), where she is just "girlfriend of..."), or exaggerated ("a supporting role in the softcore television series" when she is listed 13th in sequence of importance on the imdb page).

Note After the nominator of the last deletion discussion failed to get the article deleted, they went on a massive trimming spree, removing entire sections of the article. I intend to undo most of their removals, but to see a prior version before the trimming,
see here. —

I would revert your edits as uncalled-for. The editor in question appears to have rightfully removed meaningless fluff about the subjuct's mother driving her to auditions, purported threeways, and her boy/girl preferences. You should also lay off calling others
disgruntled editors, as well as casting aspersions on their motivations for editing an article.

I would never cast aspersions. I'm flat out saying they were angry their proposed deletion did not succeed and effectively vandalized the article days after the AfD notice was removed. As to the rest, well, I'm not saying the article is perfect, but trimming entire sections doesn't work either. —

Delete: does not meet
WP:ENT /
WP:BASIC. In re "Things change over time" does not apply: the previous two closes occurred while PORNBIO was still in effect. With PORNBIO deprecated, there's nothing better. --

Of course it meets those two, and PORNBIO is irrelevant as prior to those other closes she would have met the basic requirements. PORNBIO is a red herring here. —

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Notability not being temporary is not applicable in this circumstance. In fact
WP:NTEMP specifically says While notability itself is not temporary, from time to time a reassessment of the evidence of notability or suitability of existing articles may be requested by any user via a deletion discussion." Those who are suggesting that there is notability would benefit from pointing to specific sourcing that points to notability per GNG or a SNG, otherwise as this is not a vote appropriate weight will mean this is closed as delete. Relisting to give those suggesting notability more time to demonstrate notability given previous AfDs.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Delete. The arguments about "past notability" are misplaced. What matters today is whether or not a subject meets the notability criteria of today, and these criteria do, of course, include past notability. In other words, if the subject per today's criteria has been notable in the past, it's worth an entry in Wikipedia, generally speaking.[note 1]
The criteria for
porn stars have changed and now people under this category are supposed to meet the
WP:NACTOR criteria. Our subject clearly does not. The sources offered as evidence of her notability amount to a New Yorkarticle about someone else entirely and where subject is name-dropped once; an
article in
"industry" magazine AVN about her appearance in an Off-Broadway theatrical piece; two pieces,
one in the French Vice and
one in
CNBC about legal
pot-selling that mention our subject; and so on. We do not even have
WP:GNG. -

Comment I'm not gonna lie, but I really don't see how she doesn't satisfy
WP:GNG or specifically
WP:NACTOR. She's been covered repeatedly in print publications as the primary topic of the publication, and there are numerous sources to back that up. Her coverage in mainstream sources is also there. If she weren't a pornographer, I feel like this discussion wouldn't be going the way it has. So with that said:
WP:NOTCENSORED applies here, and I'll say it again: notability is not temporary. Deprecating
WP:PORNBIO is irrelevant. —

Greetings,
Locke Cole. Care to support the claim about her being "covered repeatedly in print publications as the primary topic of the publication" with some
sources? I've dealt above with the previous attempt at presenting sources but there might be something out there still. And, as far as I'm concerned, I reject the allegation that her being a former porn star affects the way my suggestion went. Thanks. -
