Evelyn Lin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable pornographic actress. Does not meet WP:PORNBIO standards. No awards, no unique trends or contributions to pornography, no suitable mainstream media exposure. —Ocatecir Talk 02:55, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete lack of independent sources. Guy (Help!) 09:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, notability not asserted. --soum (0_o) 13:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep

    I think she's unique in the sense that she's the only adult film star that only has Chinese heritage and was born in China. I do not think this page should be deleted.

  • Comment First, that can't possibly be true, there are plenty of chinese porn stars. Second, no source exists to back that statement up. —Ocatecir Talk 17:07, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong KeepThis actress is supposed to be an up and coming performer so it takes time to win awards, etc. Actress is rare or unique as being a Chinese actress in the US adult film industry (just like an American would be rare in the Japanese adult film industry, I would guess). Actress is also notable in being a college student, not a bum that does adult films and/or sex related work. Suggest reconsidering AfD in 6 months. Article can be improved but using a work computer so can't look up porno stuff now to help out.A880M 18:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Evelyn Lin is one of kind of adult starlets. She started in 2006 and already has over 20 DVDs available, not to mention her internet content while studying in CSU. She is a perfect example that Adult industry is also for young motivated, smart girls, not only desperate ones. We should encourage more girls like her to represent the adult industry, and help her along the way. This is in no way encouragement to every girl out there to join the adult business but it should serve as recognition to those who find their way to it. If lack of content is the reason for this AfD that is easy to fix. As others mentioned she is also one of few actresses that is of true Chinese origins.

  • Delete Unsourced, not every porn star is notable. Arguments above make no attempt to prove notability within WP:BIO. 66.90.27.133 02:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep article has improved lately. I will work on it if it is kept. If deleted there will be only 4 porn stars in the Category: Asian porn stars ! Clearly, this is lopsided and unfair.Vectorsap 07:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC) — Vectorsap (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete Article isn't bad but it is immoral to have sex outside of marriage or do porn films.RevAEdwards 07:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC) — RevAEdwards (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Strong Delete Article has more details than some porn stars but this is why it is bad. Mention of creampie and ejaculation is wicked. Selling your body is a sin. We should not have anything porno related on wikipedia. I STRONGLY PROTEST ALL PORN STARS ARTICLES ON WIKIPEDIA AND THINK ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE DELETED YESTERDAY NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR HOW NOTABLE. That's why I am for "Strong Delete"UTAFA 03:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Evelyn is only unknown because she is young and the laws only allowed her to 'work' when she turned 18. She is a marketing genius and will become a powerhouse in the industry if/when she decides to 'work' behind the camera instead of on it by promoting new stars. Other new porn stars should learn from her on how to approach the industry and market themselves. Evelyn sets a standard in the modern media. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.71.67.80 (talk) 06:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.71.67.80 (talk • contribs)
