Christy Mack

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is a biography of a living person created after 2010. Article's subject is a pornographic actress who does not meet standards for Wikipedia:Notability. Primary sources for article are problematic by standards of Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources. Half of cited sources are from Xbiz, a trade magazine for webmasters hosting pornagraphy. Other sources include the "Internet Adult Film Database", "guysgabafterdark.com". However, article contains two links to the reputable source AVN which I believe disqualifies the article from the deletion procedure stipulated by Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people. My primary contention is that Wikipedia is not an online listing for sex workers. While Wikipedia should include references to sex workers who are socially relevant, who have had a large impact on their culture or society, or sex workers who have been part of productions that meet the requirements above, Ms. Mack meets none of these criteria and as such the article is to be viewed must accurately as the inclusion of indiscriminate information as clarified in WP:DISCRIMINATE. While one citation included in the article would seem to point to Ms Mack having a notability outside of pornagraphic producers, namely the Vice Magazine article "Hanging Out With Pornstar Christy Mack Made Me Less Scared of Porn", upon reading the piece the article was less an article based solely as an personal interest interview with Ms Mack based on her notability and more a piece based on the author's views of pornagraphy in which Mack is used as a foil to the author's views. In other words, Mack was used in the piece to fill the role of 'pornagraphic actress' and was not based on specific interest in Mack. Jaydubya93 (talk) 15:46, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
