Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 03:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Between Miss Teen Oregon, the TV appearances, and the playboy modeling, subject appears to be notable. Monty ₈₄₅ 04:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There appears to be just enough coverage that isn't purely Playboy-related to justify a discrete article. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 14:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per awards mentioned by Monty. It's like nominator did not check the articles before mass-nomination of Playboy articles. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I got to the article because it was linked to from Dude, Where's My Car; apparently she was in it. Here is her iMDb; if we're still using that website as a reliable source. Abeg92contribs 05:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Playing Super Hot Giant Alien in Dude, Where's My Car does not make you notable. --Damiens.rf 11:15, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Playboy+a teen beauty contest+playmate related video ≠ notability. No indication of any coverage beyond making Playboy. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 07:49, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep nom appears to be trolling. --212.137.70.194 (talk) 13:27, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable for reasons described above.--Toddy1 (talk) 06:55, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - appears to be enough coverage to pass WP:BIO, though article obviously needs work. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:20, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sufficiently notable.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 11:51, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 13:37, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep as playmate of the year. The rest of the article consists of improperly verified trivia, but that's another matter. Drmies (talk) 01:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Playmate of the Year is not, in itself, a reason to keep. While it may be argued that most Playmates of the Year end up becoming notable for their media appearances, it's actually theses appearances, that grant notability, and the not Playboy Corporation's decision. --Damiens.rf 20:53, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - As far as I can make out the conclusion of the discussion, that was about "Playmate", not about "Playmate of the year." Drmies (talk) 23:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per WP:N. Can someone upload a pic? Thanks in advance. Turqoise127 00:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
