Keep Ridiculous nomination. Kane was one of the longest active and prolific female performers in porn (30+ years) probably only behind Nina Hartley, very well-known for not only her involvement contributions in straight porn, but the gay porn industry as well. She has been inducted into nearly every porn Hall of fame there is including best known ones AVN and XRCO in addition to other awards won, was even named a trailblazer by the GayVN awards in 2010. There is some independent sources out there outside of the porn industry itself, the Morning Olympian newspaper article, a good amount of coverage including biographical info about her in the Joey Stefano (whom she was close to for years) book Wonder Bread and Ecstasy written by Charles Isherwood, the book Coming Attractions: The Making of an X-Rated Movie cover the production of the film Stairway to Heaven, which Kane starred in and directed, plus various other mentions of various degrees in books and scholars on google.

Can you provide some links to these sources? For books, ISBN and page number would be of help. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. The Morning Olympian newspaper article is already cited in article. The books Wonder Bread and Ecstasy and Coming Attractions: The Making of an X-Rated Movie are both on Google Books, but unfortunately only give limited previews. Searching "Sharon", "Kane", and "Sharon Kane" can show some excepts from some of the pages related to her. 1, 2 GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 00:47, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable pornographic performer lacking the level of indepdent, 3rd party secondary source in-depth independent coverage needed to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:19, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment John Pack Lambert I just provided three of those earlier in the AFD. Would you mind giving your analysis on why those three sources aren't good enough? Thank you. GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 00:35, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I believe she passes the GNG after reviewing Google Books.[1][2][3][4] I also believe she passes WP:CREATIVE as a director/producer in gay porn, given her GAYVN Trailblazer award and The Advocate noting her as an "adult entertainment legend".[5] Morbidthoughts (talk) 23:27, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per GoldenAgeFan1's sources, and also per the three criteria of WP:NACTOR given her number of films (#1), following (#2), and inductee into the hall of fame of the most important body in the industry, AVN (#3). Britishfinance (talk) 15:21, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
