[edit] List of Teen Models

This is what categories are for, alhtough I might nominate such a category for deletion as well. WAvegetarian 00:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this list. It appears to be created by the photographer anyway - SPAM. glocks out 00:53, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unmaintainable list.Gateman1997 00:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Linuxbeak | Alex Schenck 01:46, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep, categories can't do this properly. Kappa 02:06, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Urk. I find myself in agreement with Kappa. Categories are not the same thing as lists. Keep. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:34, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Per Kappa and Zoe. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 05:30, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Models? Move to List of teen pornstars. Edwardian 05:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC) Abstain. Edwardian 22:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd rather not with Jessica Biel on that list. Posing nude and for porn are to entirely different things. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
    • The list has been significantly updated since I originally voted.Edwardian 22:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Move per Edwardian. These girls aren't models because they rarely have any clothes on. Well, maybe a very loose interpretation of the word "model", but only if you think the phrase "nude model" isn't an oxymoron. -- Grev -- Talk 05:52, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • As someone who has worked as a nude model (for life-drawing classes for art students) I take extreme offence at the suggestion that it is an oxymoron, and even more extreme offence at the suggestion that it is equated with pornography. Please check your facts before trying to express an opinion. Grutness...wha? 02:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Move, per above, but... "nude model" an oxymoron? And every art student who's ever done a life drawing class is a walking contradiction? What do you call someone who, let's say, posed for Rodin without clothes on? A porn star? -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Since the entry has been updated a lot, that vote makes sense no longer; change to delete as silly and unmaintainable. -GTBacchus^(talk) 05:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; listcruft. Logically, no one can remain on this list for more than 600 days. Will we have to edit it on their 20th birthdays, since they will no longer be teen models? :) --Golbez 06:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Just like child actors they remain teen models. It can also mean a person who started modelling (or in the other case, acting) in their teens/child years. For example Shirley Temple can still be referred to as a child actress. -Mgm|^(talk) 12:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment They don't seem to be nude models Tiffany Teen and Next Door Nikki both say they are non-nude models. So moving them to List of teen pornstars does not applie here. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk. 07:11, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Pintele Yid 08:10, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Golbez. I would also recommend Phil Flash for deletion. Zunaid 08:50, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Article on Phil Flash has since been speedy deleted Zunaid 10:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Golbez. There's nothing here worth keeping or building on. Dottore So 11:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, although the first few porn model articles appear to be promotional in nature. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete listcruft. And surely being a teen model is sufficiently common that most of the models listed will also fail [{WP:BIO]]? Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 14:02, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete more indiscriminate listcruft.--Isotope23 14:48, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete open-ended list, with a virtually endless number of candidates for inclusion. - Dalbury (talk) 15:06, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, for many of the reasons above - listcruft foremost. PJM 15:50, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - this odd list looks verifiable. Trollderella 16:49, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - unmaintainable, and this list appears to be all over the place, from well-known actors to "non-nude" adult site models. I favor a category over this. Alternately, a list of teen models who went on to become famous actresses, etc. might be worthwhile. But as it stands, the focus on this one is far too broad. 23skidoo 17:50, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Golbez -- Frekja 18:44, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete inherently non-maintainable. Noteable teen models have their own entry anyway, such as Twiggy. WP is not a modeling agency. KillerChihuahua 19:05, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this unmaintainable list. Isn't every internet model under-40 classified as a teen? Marskell 23:37, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete if this refers only to current teen models then it will be difficult to maintain, if it includes former teen models then I assume most models do start their career in their teens. "Model" is a legitimate category which covers this. This is unlike "Child actor" since many actors only become established as adults. PatGallacher 23:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, utterly useless list. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 09:09, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unmaintainable --Rogerd 17:13, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Listcruft at its cruftiest. Reyk 03:15, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unmaintainable. HGB 11:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or include anyone who has had their photograph taken between age 13-19? -=# Amos E Wolfe ^talk #=- 13:27, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Categories are better, and lists liek this attract too much subtle vandalism. -R. fiend 15:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Surely most models start in their teens. Next we'll have Category:Twentysomething sportspeople. Carina22 15:51, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep nice list.  Grue  19:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unmaintanable list. *drew 02:33, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as unmaintainable and non-encyclopedic. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 23:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
