Unremarkable porn actor. Fails WP:GNG and WP:PORNBIO. Declined speedy. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - He is not unremarkable at all. He was one of the most famous porn actors of the late 1980s and early 1990s and appeared with other notable porn stars such as Jeff Stryker, Joey Stefano, and Lou Cass in numerous films as outlined in the article. Keraunos (talk) 00:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
  • He was also one of the first gay porn stars to also appear in bisexual films. Keraunos (talk) 01:02, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Comment. Wow, two hours after the article was created? Is that a record? -- Banjeboi 02:40, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep - suggest early close for the reasons discussed on the article talk page; raising a hasty PROD within the first hour of creation and then immediately raising this equally hasty AfD without discussion on the active article talk page about the available reliable sources and the likely prospect of addressing notability (using WP:PORNBIO) is overly confrontational and a clear failure to meet the guidance of WP:BEFORE.—Ash (talk) 04:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sexuality and gender-related deletion discussions. -- Ash (talk) 04:48, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Not sure it needs a list of everything he has been in, but also don't think it should be up for deletion. Article needs improving, but should be on talk page not here DRosin (talk) 11:22, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Is this a SNOW case yet?—Ash (talk) 16:20, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. No claim to meeting WP:PORNBIO, no indication the subject satisfies the GNG. The "references" go entirely to unreliable sources, sources which simply recite castlists or otherwise provide no significant information on the subject, or sources which mention the subject in passing without providing any encyclopedic information. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:27, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
  • You seem to have overlooked Dyer's book and Gibson's book. "entirely unreliable" seems an exaggeration even if you argue the case against the on-line databases. I note that the films themselves count as reliable published sources for cast lists, awards won, etc; not to mention the Panorama documentary which is produced by the BBC.—Ash (talk) 17:50, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
    • You seem to be misreading my comment; I comment on three types of sources: entirely unreliable ones (like Wikiporno and iafd, which is self-published and therefore not acceptable as a BLP source); sources which recite castlists and summarize scenes without any other content regardng the actual performers, and sources which mention the subjects in passing, like the books you mention. None of these sources establish notability, by strong consensus. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
      • Ah, the syntax was unclear to me, I did misread your statement. To take your other issue, I think WP:PORNBIO is addressed by his appearing in a documentary and being the first notable porn star to be cast in gay, straight and bisexual films. Consequently point 4 is met (and possibly point 5 might be argued as Panorama was a very mainstream documentary and he appeared in 3 episodes). He also appeared in a large number of magazines and front covers, and I assume that these would make for good sources if someone digs them out. Consequently I find it reasonable to expect that more and probably better sources are likely to be found and added to the article.—Ash (talk) 18:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
        • Appearing in a single documentary isn't alone enough to satisfy WP:PORNBIO, which requires multiple mainstream appearances. The other claim, aside from the "notable because he's notable" element), doesn't even match up to the article, where a weaker claim is completely unsourced. If you had sufficient reliable sourcing for the point that a) that sort of crossover was unusual at the time, and that b) the subject's appearances in such crossovers were themselves significant (very preferably contemporaneous references, which are more likely to be reliable), the situation would be different. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
          • Well, as the article has only created yesterday, I'm not sure why there would be any rush to create and close this AfD before any reasonable search for such sources has taken place. Such detailed questions of reliable sourcing should have been raised on the talk page when it was evident the page was under construction.—Ash (talk) 20:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. • Gene93k (talk) 20:43, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
• Keep for now, nom unfortunately ignored WP:Before completely and this is about the 6th or 7th time doing so all in this subject area. Additional systematic bias both culturally and on wikipedia makes for an uphill battle for this content. There is also the various names that each have to be researched under. There is no doubt this information is true just a need to ensure more sources are added. I see no reason to not allow more time for that to happen in this case. -- Banjeboi 14:29, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
