Despite the outcome of the previous nomination, this person does not satisfy our inclusion guidelines.

In the previous debate, the number of films she has appeared in and her nomination for awards were both raised as reason to keep the article. One of these are classified as "dubious" even in the more-generous industry-specific guideline, and the other is not mentioned at all on the page. It is also claimed that she's the subject of multiple non-trivial works based upon interviews on AVN Insider and RogReviews.com Even leaving aside the highly-debatable subject of if these constitute reliable sources, there can be no question that these are trivial: The insider piece is it's entirety is:

How many performances have you done? "I'm guessing about 35."
What were you doing before this? "I was an Internet masturbator once I turned 18. Before that I worked for a health insurance place, I was an insurance quoter. My first job was at a scratch-and-dent grocery store � I can't believe I'm telling you this � people were barefoot with no shirts. I was in college, a double major, psychology and business. Then I dropped psychology, and I was going to a business school. And then I dropped that to do porn."
How did you get into adult? "My former manager found me on a Website. My deciding factor was my mother. She said 'You don't do much anyway, so you might as well try being the best porn star you can be.' So I'm here."
Long range plans: "I plan to do this until gravity takes over. I was going to college, but after college gravity would have taken over. I'll do the college thing after this."

and this is only one of a very large number of such fluff pieces, see http://www.avninsider.com/stories/. Finally, it was calimed that being listed as "director" in four films was evidence of notability. While no expert in the feild, a quick browse through the database there indicates otherwise. Picking films from the label that Avy Scott's four directorial pieces were under, "North Star," and browsing for directors of other films, it becomes clear that being on both sides of the camera is not unusual:

  • [1] Peter North: Performer Credits 1675 Director Credits 60
  • [2] Craven Moorehead: Performer Credits 22 Director Credits 157
  • [3] Richie Zaye:Performer Credits 2 Director Credits 36

In short, there's nothing yet provided to indicate this person is out-of-the ordinary within this industry. The over-arching guideline for inclusion of people makes it clear that "important historical figures and people involved in current events" are encyclopedic. This article does not show that.
