The result was redirect to XBIZ Award. Clear consensus the subjects are not notable, but the redirect position is better supported in policy. I have protected the redirect. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 02:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

XBIZ Award for Best New Starlet

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No reliable, independently sourced coverage. Little more than an image gallery with minimal associated prose. XBIZ awards are less notable than AVN awards, and the parallel AVN award articled has been deleted for the same reason. Deprodded on the theory that repeated consensus, deleting and/or redirecting a dozen comparable articles for the same reasons, was somehow insufficient. See

Merge and redirect them all under WP:ATD to XBIZ Awards, as like them or not, the topic is sourcable away from organization itself. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 00:29, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I believe general practice has been, rather than creating redirects, to convert the wikilinks to the form XBIZ Award for Best Whatever. It's a bit more efficient.

Pardon, but redirects are cheap and would then properly send readers to the one place where "general practice" and "common sense" would have us send readers to where they may read of the topics in context. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 06:11, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non notable award - No point keeping around just so some SPA can revert the redirect & thus create mayhem, don't see much point redirecting either, Better off deleted. –Davey2010^Talk 01:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notable enough to the porn genre even if not the mainstream, but I am not arguing for a 'keep'. And a redirect can be protected from being overwritten. Quite easy actually. . Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 06:11, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree I don't believe it is notable at all, Could be but it's just wasting admin's time. –Davey2010^Talk 08:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting response... similar to someone claiming academy awards are non-notable to the film industry. I do not claim that the various sub award categories are notable, only that an award considered important to one particular film genre need not have any note outside of that industry. if a reader wishes to be informed (our base duty here) of the awards themselves, the parent article is the place if separate sourced articles are not wanted.

Delete -- no indications of notability or significance for a stand-alone article. Primary sources are insufficient for notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:43, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and then Redirect as it's clear these are not automatically inherited notability and none of these have been solidly convincing for bestowing people their own article either; any information can easily be merged without keeping history as the information is still so simple and can be remade.
