[edit] Angela Devi

Angela Devi (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A self-published pornstar, famous, apparently, for her site folding after she died. Nonsensical religion adds amusement but not rigour to the article. Direct-to-web pornstars with "tripod-mounted camera" are not, I think, covered by WP:PORNBIO. Guy (Help!) 11:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Yet another porn actor. In the bin with it. Anthony Appleyard 12:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - utter lack of notability. Eddie.willers 13:00, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - doesn't seem to meet WP:PORN BIO. MER-C 13:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Does not meet WP:PORN BIO. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 16:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - If only a bot could weed out NN pornstars. /dev/null. skrshawk 00:50, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - She was noted for being one of the only two pornographic actresses with an Indian background who work in US porn industry. (The other actress is Sunny Leone ). She had been regularly appearing in hardcore magazine Hustler since 2002. She does meet WP:PORNBIO. (Performer has been notable or prolific within a specific genre niche.). She might not be popular in USA but both Angela Devi and sunny leone are hugely popular in India and have been mentioned in the mainstream media of India and USA multiple times. So this article should not be deleted.

• Keep - She wasn't just another Porn Actress who comitted suicide; to leave it at that is to miss several points. She and the times of her life coincided with the rapid ascension of Indian Culture, and may I dare say that for many a Caucasian male (almost shamefully), isn't it safe to assume she might have been the first Indian Girl that for them was a head turner?? I'm quite sure that many of her fans (and future ones as well I might add) will be more inclined and sensitive towards learning about Indian Culture due to the significant impact she had. Furthermore, this may give the average guy a chance at a deeper reflection on Globalization, and the integration of India's economy with other World economies (think Bollywood and Hollywood). While many Wikipedians are well read of course and undoubtedly don't need Angela to have inspired them to have initiated reading on other cultures such as India's ... nevertheless, the average Joe out there might not have paid any attention to all things India otherwise. Lastly, I might add ... she stood out as a stark contrast to the Hollywood model stereotype, and was a vindication to many a male that IS NOT enamored with the thin, toothpick models thrust upon us with every year's passing. This last point is salient because in of itself, in a full discussion, could branch off into many a subject touching on deeper reflection on the dichotomy between Hollywood and the rest of us as we really are. My 2 cents ... InTears/ontheoffwing --67.101.2.130 09:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Only notable to a small group of people. - - 'twsx'talk'cont' 10:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - references found by Preetikapoor0 are in my opinion sufficient to meet criteria # 4 (noteworthy news piece in mainstream media) and #3 (noted for beginning a trend - Angela is noted in said newspieces as being one of the first Indian-born porn stars to gain recognition) of WP:PORNBIO.

• Keep - per Preetikapoor0; also fits WP:PORNBIO 3, 4, and 6. more than enough to keep an article. 71.105.110.222 13:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
