I was asked at DRV to provide a closing rationale. I apologise for not doing this sooner but I have been away for a few days and wasn't approached about the close or notified about the DRV until later. In essence this is a classic case of where WP:CONSENSUS isn't the same as counting snouts on each side. There is widespread acceptance that spa voters and non-policy based arguments get very little weight in closes compared to opinions from established users who cite policy based arguments and unlike many recent AFD discussions this one was graced with contributions from a number of experienced editors who expressed concern about the lack of reliable sourcing and the view that the subject hadn't passed V or RS or BIO. Looking through the keep arguments there is an assertion that AVN is a reliable source but this contention isn't widely accepted by participants - which I can understand given issues with fact checking and regurgitation of press releases being frequently cited in the past to argue that AVN is neither peer/fact checked nor independant. Otherwise arguments about the number of films, contarcts signed, appearances on Howard Stern or who she married are not arguments grounded in any policy and were discarded. This leaves one opinion that this meets PORNBIO by multiple AVN award nominations but the actual nominations are group rather then individual catagories and it is not clear that this counts in the same way that a headline nomination would do so. Certainly the arguments about awards cut no ice at all with the majority of experienced editors and in closing I found their arguments to be well grounded in core site policy around the requirement to source articles of living persons. There clearly had been an extensive search for sources including *ahem* some off-line examination of magazines so I believe it is a reasonable assumption that there are no suitable sources for this article. Since sub-guidelines are supposed to be an indication of the liklihood of sources existing as the clear indication is that they do not I believe that it is right to discount the PORNBIO argument and go with the BIO/V/RS arguments.
