[edit] Jordan Capri

Non-notable hoe.BrowardDon 02:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep certainly passes google test [1] and seems like she's fairly notable in certain circles... Think would count as a notable porn star... though not sure what the guidelines on those are. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 02:59, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep nominations by this user. Just an attempt to disrupt Wikipedia. See many other nominations by this user on this page. --Tabor 03:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Assume bad faith in regards to nominator, but having said that, does this particular porn-lady need her own article? (Abstain, no personal clue about the porn industry.) Marblespire 04:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Actually, this is a notable ho. Although I do admit that it's articles like this that could get Wikipedia blocked from some schools... -- Grev -- Talk 04:10, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Alexa ranking for jordancapri.com is 21,444, roughly in the same neighborhood as Wikinews (20,563) ... for whatever such measures are worth. --Tabor 04:35, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • The fact that the small unpaid volunteer campaign to encourage people to look at Wikinews has had better results than the well-oiled, well-funded, professional, Internet pornography machine's campaign to promote yet another pornographic model from which money can be made, is good news for Wikinews. ☺ Uncle G 14:06, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)
• Keep, notable porn model. — JIP | Talk 06:28, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Notable how? Please name a magazine cover that this model has graced, legal controversy that she has caused, mainstream film that she has starred in, major business that she has run, book that she has written, or field that she has been the first in. Uncle G 14:06, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems notable. JamesBurns 07:55, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for a site on a person as opposed to just a forum, I find such an Alexa ranking convincing. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:59, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep of course and as for BrowardDon well, delete him. hydnjo talk 18:54, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: I need to find out if this sockpuppy has been banned. At any rate, the "article" is non-existant, and the notability presented in the article is that she's cute. I'm sure she is. I'm sure that it's better to see her naked than most of us, but what, exactly, has she done to be notable? Is she a noted entrepeneur like Danni Ashe? Is she a cross-over actress, like Jenna Jameson? Is she a trailblazer, like Seka? If she's merely popular for being pretty, then the Google hits will be biased like crazy, and the careers of pornographic models are fantastically short.

• Geogre, Miss Capri is well-known only because one of her college buddies submits teaser pages (a few photos and a link to her part of the "Lightspeed University" website) to many of the daily lists of porn galleries almost every day. While I would vote myself into her dorm room, I don't think she has any particular notability or notoriety like the three actresses that you mentioned. I would vote "weak delete" (since the bar for the Google test needs to be higher for porn than for hand-carved woodcuts), except that that would bring me into agreement with BrowardDon. Weak keep based only on the Alexa and Google numbers. Barno 20:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• The Internet pornography industry deliberately skews page rankings. Indeed, there's a whole sub-industry devoted to doing exactly that (that is happy to try to employ Wikipedia, and its sibling projects, for this purpose — Reverting pornographic link spam is a regular maintenance chore on all of them.). A ranking has to be exceptional for it to be a meaningful sole claim to notability for such a model; and this one isn't. There's nothing else whatever that makes this person notable. She's 18 and one of thousands of models that are set up on pornographic sites and (as Barno says) promoted like crazy by the people who own the photography rights, and that (as Geogre says) never amount to anything and soon disappear. Wikipedia is not a directory of pornographic models with the career lifespans of mayflies, nor is it yet another advertizing billboard for them before they have become notable. For that reason, and for the very good reasons given by Geogre and Barno (who shouldn't be caring about BrowardDon in this case), Delete. Uncle G 14:06, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)
• Keep, notable within her field. Kappa 21:12, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Again I ask: Notable how? There are lots of people within her field, and in her field she is in fact no different at all from all of the rest. In her field there are thousands of models about whom all that is known is a Playboy-style set of vital statistics, just like this person. In her field there are thousands of promoters busily submitting their models to pornography advertising sites, spamming Wikipedia with external hyperlinks, and spamming people with junk electronic mail, just as with this person. Please name a magazine cover that this model has graced, legal controversy that she has caused, mainstream film that she has starred in, major business that she has run, book that she has written, or field that she has been the first in.

• Delete How special is she compared to all the other porn actors out there? Billhpike 19:25, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
