Comment At least at first glance, the reasons given for deletion do not seem to apply.
BLP applies - but on present evidence, I'd have to say keep PWilkinson (talk) 18:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply

Keep - I'm a high-bar-for-porn-related-articles guy. I've got nothing against porn, mind you, but encyclopedias should be about encyclopedic things. Garage band cruft, TV show cruft, that hurts nobody. Porn cruft undermines WP's educational mission by potentially making it the object of scorn and access restriction by the right. You want vapid pseudo-bios of stupid no-name porn stars because it's a particular hobby of yours? This is not the place. That's where I'm coming from, and that said, I think this is a keeper as a sex columnist. Footnotes 2 and 4 showing appear to be legit significant third party sources of the sort we look for in assessing notability at AfD. 120,000 Google hits for the exact phrases "Mistress Matisse" indicates an iceberg big enough to produce another notability snocone or two.

I'll take your word for it, although I only get 77,000 Google hits. I really fail to see the usefulness of the article, though. Tom Reedy (talk) 19:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I too question the rationale given in the nominator's statement. Please quote which guidelines this article violates, and how. Failing that, I have to vote Keep as the subject seems to meet
