Notability and Spam?

I am going to state that any reference to a website that sells a life like model of a male subject's penis is spam! Also, countless gay porn stars used intraveneous drugs and got HIV/AIDS for that or other behavior. Many also returned to the industry to perform various roles. There is nothing particular in this article that makes the subject stand out as notable. Robin Redford 22:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Wallice update

The article suggests that Wallice is now - post-diagnosis - into working behind the cameras. But a December 2018 cable TV documentary, PORNDEMIC, shows a supposedly recent interview of him saying he's been reduced to living in a trailer park, living on disability relief, and running out of money completely by the 25th of every month.

BLP concerns

We need better sourcing with regards to the "rumors" of who he may or may not have infected. "Porn Star Mall", the site used as one of the sources, isn't much different from a fan site, which as I understand it is not considered a reliable source. Indeed, at least one of the actresses mentioned on that page (though not here) apparently was a false positive but it still listed as having been allegedly infected. The Luke Ford citation should be OK because one of the reasons why he's controversial is because he posts everything he hears in interviews, etc. Without better sourcing, I think the McKnight and Jade examples should be removed per WP:BLP unless a better source is found. (The other two have additional sourcing to confirm their status and opinions). 68.146.70.50 (talk) 13:28, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

:Have to agree with this concern. This is a BLP and it references other actors, which are also BLPs. This needs better sourcing as there's not a single news article in any of the references. A Google news search should be done, but I'm too disinterested in this subject to be arsed. Adding a refimprove tag. 64.40.60.12 (talk) 07:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Mainstream news source

I am holding this here until I come back to work on the article. (Got sidetracked working on related articles.)
