Repeatedly created and poorly sourced bio of a non-notable porn performer. This article was apparently translated from es.Wikipedia. It is sourced entirely to an unreliable porn blog and two adult film databases. An independent search failed to turn up any reliable source coverage to support WP:BASIC or WP:ENT notability. This page started out as a redirect to an unrelated film producer, Sidney Cole. Since the porn bio's creator insists on keeping it, I am bringing it to the community for consensus. • Gene93k (talk) 22:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nominator, references are a mess (that refill 2 couldn't fix for me) and all from dubious sources Joseywales1961 (talk) 22:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment reference layout were fixed since my comment, but are still unreliable sources Joseywales1961 (talk) 17:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nominator. I suppose it's possible that coverage in reliable sources exists, but the huge lack of digitally-findable sources for someone in the digital era is a very bad sign for notability. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The page shouldn't be deleted, as it is considered to be of a general interest topic, because, the central person in the article, is considered to be of a relative fame, (see Cole's Awards, and participations) unlike, what sr. Gene93k does say. On the other hand, the page is mistakenly confused with the redirection, as it does not write the same way, it does when spelling "Sidney". Also, that could be solved with an acclaration like, Sydney Cole (Pornographic Actress), to solve the redirection problem. I'll also do my best to improve it as better as posible. It doesn't deserve to be deleted, many articles, with way less coherence nor valuable infromation are still on the web. Why should an article with an average relevance be deleted? • Tomipelegrin (talk) 22:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General interest (general notability/WP:BASIC for Wikipedia purposes) requires support from independent reliable sources. Porn blogs and film databases are not acceptable sources. The porn awards won would not even have established notability when the old WP:PORNBIO guideline was in effect. They don't do it now especially since PORNBIO has been taken down. The original redirect was there as a plausible search term from an alternate spelling/misspelling. As for the "famous" porn starlet, without good references, she is not notable. • Gene93k (talk) 23:45, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per Gene93k, particularly his argument above. Best, PK650 (talk) 06:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
