Fails WP:GNG and WP:PORNBIO. Epbr123 (talk) 00:53, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
*Delete The article says Russell is circumcised and reportedly has a 7-inch penis.. Need I say more about the encylcopedic value (or lack thereof) of the article?--Prodigy96 (talk) 07:07, 31 January 2010 (UTC) User has been blocked, refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Trusted_Throw for details.Ottawa4ever (talk) 08:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Keep He passes WP:ARTIST #3 as he stars in at least 29 published films (a significant body of work, any could be used as a verifiable source). In 1995 he won a Gay VN award for best sex scene, so he also meets the PORNBIO requirements. Nominations for deletion are not intended to replace "improvement needed" tags and PORNBIO is not an excuse to a purge gay pornstars from Wikipedia when their body of work is self-evident. As for value, this is part of hard to find gay history, of rather more encyclopaedic value than a separate article for every fictional character from Avatar and to remove it as unencyclopaedic because of a mention of "penis" is effective censorship.

- Do you have a source for the Gay VN award? I suppose that would help this meet WP:PORNBIO but as of right now this is an unsourced BLP article which most certainly should be deleted. (!!!) JBsupreme (talk) 08:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, go to http://gayvnawards.avn.com/noms/pastwinners.html to verify. Articles should not get deleted for being unsourced if there a reasonable prospect of sources being found and added at some future point. Ash (talk) 08:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

- Keep per Ash. There should be more in the way of non-trivial coverage for this person, but apparently meets some level of notability criteria as a past recipient of this 1995 award. JBsupreme (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
*Keep because he won the mentioned 1995 award, which does help to establish some notability for inclusion.--TrustMeTHROW! 21:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC) User has been blocked, refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Trusted_Throw for details.Ottawa4ever (talk) 08:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

- Keep: Passes WP:PORNBIO. Joe Chill (talk) 00:18, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Snow Keep, as ASH's reasoning is compelling, logical, and per guideline. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:19, 1 February 2010 (UTC).
- Keep, another of nom's poorly researched AfDs forcing others to clean-up this disruption to the project. Subject meets WP:Pornbio - "1993 Adam Gay Video "Dave" Awards winner, "Best sex scene"; Abduction II: Conflict from Falcon Studios; 1995 AVN Award (pre-GayVN Awards) winner, "Best duo scene"". -- Banjeboi 11:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

- Delete. Absolutely no evidence has been advanced at this time to rebut the nominator's assertion that this article fails to meet the general guideline for notability. Nothing has been done to meet the requirements of the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy in regard to sourcing. BLP is a core policy and not negotiable. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Keep per GayAVN award satisfying pornbio. Morbidthoughts (talk) 20:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
