Deletion of Felicia Tang (2nd nomination)

Comment: It should be clear the subject fails ; the only criterion from that guideline she might meet is #5, being "featured multiple times in mainstream media," but there's no verifiable sourcing for the claim that she appeared in mainstream films predating her death -- instead, the most that can be said is that she may have appeared as an uncredited extra in several mainstream films.  Those are not the sort of appearances that #5 addresses; that's why the article was deleted without objection a few weeks before her death. The same is true for the claims that she appeared in Playboy videos -- there's no reliable evidence presented that she had roles as anything but an extra, if she had any roles at all. As for BLP1E/BIO1E/NOTNEWS issues, when we compare similar events generating significantly more news coverage -- the Murder of Jasmine Fiore|Jasmine Fiore and Homicide of Annie Le|Annie Le killings -- the extensive coverage hasn't been deemed sufficient to make the victims individually notable. The editing and verification of the article text is clearly below Wikipedia standards -- for example, the subject's name has now been rendered "Felicia Tang Lee," in spite of the fact that there's zero reliable evidence that this was either her legal name or a name form the subject ever used -- instead, it's based on an obvious misreading of its supposed "reference." The claim that the subject appeared on the "Ali G" show is entirely unsupported by evidence, reliably sourced or otherwise; the only basis for including it in the article seems to be an editor's claim that "think I read it somewhere, can't find it right now" -- a perfect example of things that shouldn't be included in any Wikpedia article, especially a biography.  cautions editors to take care not to include material, even from otherwise reliable news organizations, which may be sourced, directly or indirectly, from Wikipedia (including mirror sites); what has happened with the article subject here is that news organizations, faced with a breaking story regarding an obscure figure, have used the best sources available to them, primarily mirrors of the Wikipedia article -- and therefore those news reports can't be reliable sources for the Wikipedia article they're based on.  It's also worth noting that the more responsible news organizations have been careful to indicate that some of the information in their articles has been impossible to verify -- for example, one of the CBS articles points out that the subject's supposed mainstream credits are presented only "according to her Web site"; one of the LA Times articles used a reference similarly notes that the source for its report of mainstream credit is "a resume posted on her website."  Wikipedia articles should be based on information verified by reliable sources, not information which reliable sources report they have not been able to verify

Comment: Despite this seeming to be a  article, it seems like a decent biography was derived from the substantial coverage of that 1 event. Also, I will give the article the benefit of the doubt in passing criteria 5 of PORNBIO as reliable sources have verified that she's been in multiple mainstream productions

Comment: There have been a couple of interesting questions raised by this discussion. They are can news coverage that would not itself establish notability (because of ) be used to estabish notability by meeting the "featured multiple times in notable mainstream media" of WP:PORNBIO? Similarly can material such as promotional material and appearances in adult entertainment media that would not normally establish notability per  establish the notability of a figure who has appeared in a burst of news stories about a single event (in this case a murder) that would not normally pass NOTNEWS? I stand by my earlier delete vote, because I don't think you should be allowed to work the notability requirements against one another in this way. I suspect in a little while the point will becomce mute, because as I said earlier I am sure in few months their will be a true crimes book or made for TV movie that will establish notability, but that shouldn't be allowed to affect this debate

Comment: The fact that she is a porn star has nothing to do with anything. The problem is that this is essentially a news story and we have no idea yet wether or not it is going to have any lasting notability outside of the current news cycle (it happened less than a month ago). Wikipedia is not a news service, which is why otability says :"it takes more than just a short burst of news reports about a single event or topic to constitute sufficient evidence of notability".  Now I could see this event becoming notable in the future because it is a great candidate for a made for TV movie or a true crime book, but trying to predict future notability is prohibited. So right now with the sources you have this would be fine for Wikinews but not Wikipedia
Stance: delete

Comment: for the combination of her being a porn star, a now famous victim and passing .  Multiple very reliable sources refer to her as a "star."  Re-nominating an article for deletion within the same month of a previous AfD and right after the person's notability has increased seems |disruptive
