The article fails to explain why this person is notable. I don't think having a sex tape makes you notable, dating famous people does not make you notable and owning a store does not make you notable. Being on a reality tv show also does not make you notable. This article should only be kept if the creator or editors can explain in the article why she is notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.61.24.251 (talk) 14:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
No, I think the question should be why being one of Paris Hilton's friends should make someone notable enough to have a tv show.
I understand why someone would watch a show like Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous, or MTV Cribs. But getting a show because your a trashy, yet cute, heiress... Come On. I guess that after baywatch got cancelled, they had to find some kind of mindless crap to fill in time slots.
I've got an idea for a new show that would cater to love of wealth and stupidity. Take a bunch of trashy bimbos in bikinis that operate a personal bank for Bill Gates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.229.213 (talk) 22:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

is this all it takes to be a person of note? be friends with a celebrity and have a sex tape? i knew Craig David at school and have a video of me with an ex girlfriend do i get a wikipedia page now? Kejoxen 21:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Deletion is premature but to call her a person of note when the only reason is the sex tape would Americanise the place too much. These sex videos happen all the tıme and others don't get wikipedia-ed. Boils 11:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Deletion is unnecessary, however, listing her as an American Socialite is entirely incorrect. I believe that category needs to be preserved for women of social distinction who are near, or at the end of their lives and have had an impact on society based on that sum total; in the meanwhile, these subjects are just Pop Culture and need to be listed accordingly. Kardashian is not from a lineage that has had an impact on society, but has acheived notoriety for one, small incident that received minor attention. It has had no impact on the culture at large. Hilton, on the other hand, has a place as a socilaite as her lineage denotes an impact on our soicety (the hotel chain). Comparing Kardashian to Doris Duke or Patty Hearst is a weak link at best and that sort of random placement needs to be monitored and settled in the proper category. American Socialites is not that category. ZiggyFortunado 18:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
It really makes me wonder why this kind of people receives any attention in wikipedia. A line of famous people who are famous because they are famous, c'mon!, It would make more sense to put the profile of a sexy local high school teacher rather than have a page for this trash, daughter of rich, good for nothing socialite —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crapysaurus (talk • contribs) 16:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Please check the sources you cite. I just removed a link citing the comments section on a gossip blog. --~ Mr. S 20:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Four of the references for this article are invalid. Three of them are to vivid dot com and are all commercial advertisements. The New York Daily News link is dead and needs to be re-sourced. I will be removing the vivid dot com links immediately, and will leave it to the regular editors of this article to fix the Daily News link. Risker 06:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
People take note: Kim allready stated on her site that she is not German!!! Her real grandfather was Scottish! If you dont believe me please read the article on her blog! She said her grandmother just confessed! So please reorganize!!!!!!!!
Paris Hilton is her primary source of fame and friend, Like Hilton, Kardashian has been reported in the tabloid press for her romantic interests in singer Ray J, and a graphic sex tape that [1] was purchased by Vivid Video in 2007 for $1 million from an "unidentified" source and depicts Kardashian and her then boyfriend Ray J performing various sexual acts. Prior to the release of this adult film Kardashian announced her intention to pursue legal action [2] to further block distribution of the tape.[3] This was the first public acknowledgement of the existence of the tape, which she had previously denied. Despite the impending lawsuit, adult retailers started offering the ability to pre-order the tape in Feb 2007.[4]
I beleive all of this is relevant information.. except the dead link.
especially liked the <removed commercial spam link inserted by Anon IP editor> -=o)
I added a press release citing also and it was removed.
I added the following press release and it was removed.
<removing link to commercial spam added by User:Bigdaddyc187>
That's because it's a press release. It is not being reported by an independent reliable source. The sentence for which it was being used as a reference is still in the article. But if nobody other than Vivid thinks that the release of this video is notable then the reference does not belong in the article. The press release is simply advertising in a different cloak.

Like her friend Paris Hilton, Kardashian has been reported in the tabloid press for her romantic interests in singer Ray J, and a graphic sex tape that depicts Kardashian and her then-boyfriend Ray J performing various sexual acts
Paris is known for dating Ray J and making a sex tape of Ray J and Kardashian?
Until someone has an independent, verified source to support the notion that Kardashian has undergone extensive plastic surgery, this has to stay out of the article. Get your sources lined up before including it - and "before and after" pictures are not verifiable sources. Risker 02:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Come on, anyone so concieted that they have and flaunt a personal shrine of themself in their house has bound to have had some plastic surgery.
Now there's nothing wrong with being born into money, as long as your thankful for the opportunities that it will grant you in life. There's a lot of rich people that make great contributions to society. But believing that you should be a celebrity because your daddy has money, that's just called being a spoiled brat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.229.213 (talk) 22:27, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Stop deleting mention of the sex tape. It's now sourced with decent articles. It's the primary reason this person became famous, although she appears to now be self sustaining. (This fact makes me hate the entertainment media, but it makes me hate myself more since I paid enough attention to know that fact).
As a side note- if you consider something poorly sourced search for a more reliable source before you delete it. Dropping "kim kardashian sex tape" into google news gets a ton of hits. This girls seems to be famous for being nekkid.

Well, it seems the semi-protection of the article was sufficient to force the spammers to go back to their long-dormant accounts and start inserting commercial linkspam into this article again. Linking to a commercial porn site is NOT appropriate for either a reference to the article, or as an external link. I will be requesting blacklisting of the "new" url to the commercial site, and will be asking for checkusers for the editors who have suddenly developed an urge to edit only by adding this link.

This article is absolutely loaded with promotional language, selective editing and unsupported claims. For starters she doesn't give 10% of her income to charity nor does being a "socialite" count as an "occupation". Using long lists of congratulatory adjectives is NOT encyclopaedic nor neutral.
The fact that this article has been made protected with so much positive bias leads me to believe that someone has paid a PR team to influence the consensus here.

Kim Kardashian uses Facebook to connect with her fans in a unique way. Many celebrities use Facebook merely for the purpose of promoting their products, as well as update their Facebook pages in third person, which makes the Facebook page appear very impersonal. However, Kim Kardashian uses Facebook to relate to her fans by making her Facebook page very personable and approachable; she often reaches out to her fans by asking their suggestions for different decisions she has to make, such as posting a photo on Facebook and asking her fans what colour of pink she should accent her new perfume bottle with. She also creates polls for her fans to ensure her page is interactive with her fans. She also connects with her fans through social media by updating her status on what she is doing as well as her feelings, or by asking her fans questions. This method of Facebook usage helps her to create a para-social relationship with her fans<ref>{{cite book|last=Turner|first=Graeme|title=Understanding Celebrity|year=2004|publisher=Sage Publications|location=London, UK|pages=92}}</ref> .

She dropped the lawsuit in return got paid $5 million, essentially, she sold her sex tape. I think that makes her an adult film actress, her porn video is commercially sold by vivid studios. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.31.50 (talk) 19:48, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I would have thought that getting paid for a sex tape would put her in the same category as every other adult film actress or porn star. Does the quality or number of adult films she has starred in matter? She had sex on camera and was paid for it, even if after the fact.
Please add "Amateur pornographic actress" to career description. This should warrant a distinction from simply "actress" in the title. As to validity, she acted in an adult sex tape that is currently for sale in the public domain, over which she has accepted a settlement claim over, acceding to Vivid Entertainment's right to distribute. Beyond accuracy and validity, this is relevant as not only does her page discuss said sex tape later in the article, but analysis of Google search trends show a distinct spike in interest correlating with its existence, as shown in another post in this talk page. Request made as QuickEditor is blocked from further edits. Can someone please make this change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.142.255 (talk) 23:40, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I know that she has been a subject of controversy among Armenian communities for "selling out" (i.e. having intercourse with an African-American). Many I know have called her <redacted>. I think this subject should be included in her article, at least in some regard. I recognize that articles/sources would be expected, but I certainly have numerous cases of what Wiki would dismiss as "original research."

In the latest Keeping Up With The Kardashian of season 6 episode 6, it has been seen that Kardashian has been diagnosed with a hereditary skin rash disease called psoriasis from her mother Kris Jenner who's also dealt with the condition since she was 30. During the episode, a distraught Kim discusses the consiquences she would be facing in her carrer in the media industry that could be a carrer ending for the star "My carrer is doing ad campaigns and swimsuit photo shoots. People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect." However, her dermatologist has concluded the reason of the sudden rash outbreak could be due to both stress and pressure caused from her hectic schedule. Sleep and eating a healthy balanced diet and minimizing alcohol would help with the skin irritation. Kadashian recently tweeted saying "For every set back, god has a major come back!"
The "cookie diet lawsuit" section needs to be removed. No matter how notable it is through countless news articles, it is not notable enough to be relevant to her article. It's honestly silly that it is even mentioned in the article. Someone with editing privileges please remove it. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. --QuickEditor (talk) 03:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Kimberly "Kim" Kardashian Humphries (née Kimberly Noel Kardashian; October 21, 1980)[1] is an American businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, actress, and now the wife of Kris Humphries, NBA player. She is the daughter of late attorney Robert Kardashian, and though initially known for an explicit video tape with former lover Ray J, she has grown into a successful idol for many women. Not to mention the global hit, Keeping Up With The Kardashian's, the family reality tv series on E!. Kardashian's prominence has increased as of January 2011 with the premiere of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, the second spin-off of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (the first being Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami), debuting on E!, with the series following Kim and sister Kourtney Kardashian as they leave Los Angeles to open a third D-A-S-H store in New York City.
Kardashian has launched multiple fragrances, guest starred on numerous shows, competed on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and has had roles in movies such as Disaster Movie and Deep in the Valley. In 2010, Kardashian, along with her sisters Kourtney and Khloé, released an autobiography, Kardashian Konfidential.[2]

Kim Kardashian is going to be searched on Wikipedia hundreds of times every hour, therefore this page needs to be kept up to date. In 'relationships' there is no current post on her new groom, Kris Humphries. Also, in 'social media' there is no mention of Twitter and Kim regularly communicates with her fans and announces news via twitter so this needs be cooperated within the article. Kim Kardashian is in the public eye too often and aspects in her life i.e.: location, relationship status, big events are constantly going to be changing but we should try and represent her as promptly and as precisely as we can.

It was widely reported in many sources that President and Mrs. Obama do not want their children to watch the Kardashians. This is notable because the Kardashians, especially Kim, has developed such a notoriety that the President of the United States mentions them. I think only a brief few sentences is enough, but maybe a section heading. Maybe it could be in the context of Kim becoming a cultural icon, with some (Obama) not liking it.

Kim's last name should be spelled "Քարտաշյան" in Armenian. All Armenian last names end in "յան". It means "son of" and is pronounced "Yawn." The current spelling listed in the article is "եան."

On April 23 2010, Kim Kardashian claimed that she was a victim of domestic violence by her ex- husband Damon Thomas. According to court document, Kardashian was often left bruised and battered from Damon Thomas, punching her in the face, slamming her against walls and throwing her across the room.She recalled one incident of physical abuse when they were about to go skydiving with singer Justin Timberlake. Kardashian stated that "Before we left our home, Damon hit me in the face and cut my lip open," she stated. "I fell into the bed frame and banged my knee hard. I was limping when we went skydiving." Another incident happened when Thomas was suspicious about who Kim was paging she states that"He became enraged and punched me in the face. My face was bruised and swollen as a result," she said. "I thought about calling the police but was afraid and decided not to do so." During another incident Kardashian said "Thomas became angered while she was retrieving something from the bathroom in their home.He allegedly slammed her against the closet wall and held his hands around her neck, threatening to choke her. He then grabbed me by my hair and told me to get out," she states in the documents. "He put one hand against my back and pushed me up the stairs (the front door is on the ground level and the bedroom is one level below ground). At the top of the stairs, he threw me across the room and I hit my head against the front door. I got up and ran out of the house. I was frightened. Kimberley claimed that Thomas gave her a close $3,700 to get liposuction becuase he wanted her to look perfect. In the court papers, Thomas was accused of having so much control over his young wife that he forced her to quit jobs and college and prohibited her from seeing any friends. Kardashian said that, "Damon decided what we would do and when we would do it. He was very much the "King of the castle,'" she said. "He said he wanted to know where I was at all times."Kardashian also alleged that Thomas would start arguments at family gatherings and even tried to convince her that her mother and sisters were "evil."

I added a short description (one sentence) of the contents of Kim Kardishian's sex tape. My edit was reverted by User:GFHandel with the edit summary giving the reason as unsourced and "unnecessary". As I have easily located a source, I would like to re-add the information though this does not address the assertion that the information is unnecessary. I think it's quite clear that if any information on the tape is necessary (it currently has its own subsection) then a short description is appropriate. Arguments that the information is obscene, objectionable or otherwise offensive are addressed by the wikipedia policy on censorship. Handschuh-talk to me 05:30, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Public Backlash
As of 12/14/2011 over One Quarter Million Americans have signed a Petition Pledging to Boycott Kim Kardashian on BoycottKim.com. The website was shortly launched after Kim's 72 day marriage ended with Kris Humphries. The site encourages viewers and Americans alike who believe Kim Kardashian to be a poor role model for her young viewers to boycott retailers who sell Kardashian items, and those who hire Kim Kardashian to market their products.
As our friends and neighbors struggle with real problems including inflated prices for fuel and groceries, a frightening job market, and a broken and divided government, we cannot continue to be distracted by moochers like Kim Kardashian. American families work hard to educate and raise their children with faith and morals, working ever longer hours to make ends meet. We do not need the added burden of explaining to our daughters why they should work hard and get an education versus the pursuit of a materialistic lifestyle by any means necessary including selling out their principles and exploiting sex for profit. We are tired that the media focuses so much attention on negative clowns like Kim Kardashian with little time devoted on our true heroes who have become ghosts with little to no recognition. And above all, we are fed up with companies that believe us to be ignorant and perhaps stupid enough to shop at their stores, buying their products promoted by talentless, tasteless and shameless parasite like Kim Kardashian. Until we speak up, these companies will continue to follow a marketing strategy designed for the sole purpose of fueling their profits, and rewarding buffoons like Kim Kardashian. - BoycottKim.com
A sister facebook group relating to the BoycottKim.com site has reached over 50k fans who are fully engaged and respond with hundreds of negative comments every time the media writes a story about Kim Kardashian. Similar outrage can be found with numerous online petitions, and twitter posts by Americans who have grown tired of seeing Kim Kardashian in the media spotlight.
According to "Frank", the founder of BoycottKim.com, the backlash is more than justified. "Kim Kardashian is a bully, and will do anything to extend her fifteen minutes of fame to cash in from Americans, and unfortunately the media keeps playing her game. What has changed is that Americans are speaking up. The site is created so that Americans have a voice, not only against Kim Kardashian but corporate greed. Nothing is more American the spirit of a Boycott, it is the ultimate way for ordinary Americans to stand up for their beliefs and up against forces usually too large to go at alone. We hope BoycottKim.com will be an example for future boycotts against social and economic injustice to come."
Already, major sponsors such as Sears have hinted that the Boycotts may affect their business and are watching closely. Magazine sales featuring the Kardashians on their covers have also shown a decrease in sales.
The Kardashians have hired attorney Martin Singer to represent them against the negative backlash. Mr. Singer has already began threatening Jonathan Jaxson, Kim Kardashian's former publicist responsible for outing Kim on previous publicity stunts.
