Non-notable recipient of an in-house award. No coverage in reliable third party sources. Svetla Lubova generates less than 500 ghits and zero news archive hits. RMHED (talk) 21:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • She doesn't appear to meet the general notability guidelines, can you point out where WP:PORNBIO states that being a Penthouse Pet confers instant notability? RMHED (talk) 22:18, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Has won or been a serious nominee for a well-known award ... from a major pornographic magazine, such as Penthouse..." Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:30, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not so sure being a centerfold is an "award" in the sense of being nominated and voted upon; that and a lot of us afficionados wouldn't consider Penthouse as a major porn magazine either. But I get your drift. --Quartermaster (talk) 02:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, no she doesn't as she is not an actress and has never (inasmuch as I have been able to search) been in a porn film. I agree... WP:PORNBIO does not apply. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If Penthouse Pet is all she's ever been noted for, easy delete, though it might be helpful to have a "fair use" photo of her Penthouse centerfold ... just for more information. --Quartermaster (talk) 22:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep oneevent is not applicable here, isf the event is actually notable. If we decide that being Pet of the Months is appropriately notable for an article, then this applies to all of them. Typically they will have some prior work of some sort, but a person can be shown notable by a single award or accomplishment. One term in congress, one olympic appearance, one bestselling book, and so one.

Comment So in your opinion being a Penthouse Pet takes precedence over the general notability guidelines? Interesting interpretation of notability you've go there DGG. RMHED (talk) 00:15, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My opinion is that's the situation we seem to have gotten into via PORNBIO. Personally I find none of them notable, and I would personally like somewhat more restrictive criteria for minor media figures, Porn or otherwise, than we seem to be using, but that's only my personal views and not relevant here. With respect to Wikipedia, I do, however, hold with consistency and i do think it should be a rule to follow it if practical otherwise. . I suppose in terms of WP:N it would be asked whether this is intrinsically a notable award. I have no opinion on that, but if its a notable award, that applies to everyone who received it. As the workgroup seems to think it is, the question ehre would be whether this is a rational enough decision to get general support. DGG (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • With respects to DGG... I've done my searches and enjoyed the photographs... but I can find absolutely nothing about her from before Penthouse or afterwards. Its almost as the person's identity was created just for this event. No films. No interviews. No previous or subsequent appearances. Nothing. Its like she never existed before Penthouse, and she has done nothing since. This really does (sadly) seem to be the poster child for
    WP:ONEEVENT. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 00:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply

I agree that's really curious--is it in your experience unique? They gave her that placement though she had appeared nowhere else, and no one else thought to use her subsequently? DGG (talk) 16:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently AKA Ashley Adams. A Google image search suggests that of several Ashley Adams, she appears to be one. Porn performers seem to go by several names as a matter of course. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep WP:PORNBIO applies here, as was reconfirmed recently in this discussion. Having already pointed this out to the nominator after he prodded the article, I'm not sure why this has been nominated for AFD. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:28, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe an analogous situation would be Academy Awards for actors, cameramen, sound editors, etc. Not all of them will be household names or ever again achieve that level of recognition, but they become automatically "notable". Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • So Penthouse Pet of the month is equivalent to an Academy Award, interesting idea, though rather insulting to Academy Award winners. RMHED (talk) 17:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Things can be like other things without being the same as other things. There's no suggestion that they are equivalent. I'm not sure how this is in any way insulting to Oscar winners. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • So winning an Academy Award is like getting naked for Penthouse magazine. Thanks for clearing that up. RMHED (talk) 21:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was naively trying to answer your question about notability, but I now see that you have a different agenda here. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:26, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you please tell me what my agenda is, as I seem to have misplaced my copy? RMHED (talk) 22:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your agenda, sir, is proper bollocks. I reckon you're arguing with DelCarb here without so much as considering he could be right. Please purchase a new agenda (preferably leather-bound for increased durability), and refrain from using it to put forth bollocks arguments. You wouldn't appreciate it if you were an agenda. Marcus Barrington (talk) 22:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Proper bollocks? as opposed to improper bollocks? Are bollocks at all relevant in regard to a Penthouse Pet? Most of the magazines readership probably do have bollocks but are the bollocks of immediate importance in this discussion? Beyond titillating the bollocks of the Penthouse readership what has this young woman done that's notable? RMHED (talk) 23:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - fails WP:N, WP:BIO and WP:PORNBIO. - fchd (talk) 16:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes WP:PORNBIO. Dismas|(talk) 18:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per DGG. For consistency, WP:PORNBIO should be followed. If you doesn't agree with the guideline, you should argue for it to be changed rather than hope people will ignore it during an AfD. Epbr123 (talk) 18:33, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's nothing in WP:PORNBIO that says a Penthouse Pet of the month is notable, how is that a major award? With regards to consistency in this context, I think Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best. RMHED (talk) 18:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "of the Month" part was taken out last year in an effort to trim down the length of the guideline. There was no discussion about this cut. Dismas|(talk) 01:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Empty article w/o any biographical information, notability not established. There's no online information about this porn actress in Czech language, nothing at all, no mention anywhere. The name does not sound too Czech - it is possible the name and "Czech" origin were invented to add exotic feel. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 21:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no ceverage in reliable sources to establish notability. We look at significant awards for notability because they represent some form of peer or considered oversight in the selection of awardees for their work. However, in the case of the Pet of the Month, it's essentially the centrefold shoot for that month's Penthouse magazine. It's not even really an award. It's a name that Penhouse has chosen to apply to their centrefold feature. -- Whpq (talk) 10:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
