3,500 - their XNK counter is up to nearly 7,000, but roughly half have been either identified by name, by join (xnkn1=xnkn2), or removed (e.g. transsexuals). egafd list 20 unknowns per page and have currently 175 pages of unknowns.

It's not that egafd is not prepared to list unknowns, in fact they list them all - under their XNK id: they all have a page with a filmography (mostly just a single film, but some longer) and a gallery, sometimes with additional info such as info about tattoos etc. They are listed in cast lists of their movies with their XNK id etc. You can even browse them, in the unknowns list.

Personally, I prefer that organisational model over naming girls as "Susan from Mayfair", because that is non-distinct, non-memorable and she'll become soon near unfindable in a sea of susans, especially when there's no complete index, only relying on the search function. We have something close to the egafd system with our mystery boxes and associated additional-content threads, with the postid in the box playing the part of the xnk-number, or at least having the potential to do just that.

Sorry that this is slightly off-topic, but the issues of "what is a reliable source", "what is a reliable id", and "how do we organise identified/unidentified models" are not independent.
