Per BLP1E, there are effectively no reliable sources for this person's life that don't discuss the only thing he's (maybe, barely) notable for: being extradited/imprisoned as an armed robber in Czechoslovakia. So what we can write about him amounts to "he was in a porno movie or two" and "he was imprisoned for armed robbery." That's not the stuff of an encyclopedic biography.

Delete more or less per nom. While the claim that he's made the "Grabby Wall of Fame" might be argued as a sign of notability (not in my mind, though), it appears to be a moot point -- it's not supported by the cited reference, and it's not reported at the official award site [1].

Delete I don't think the porn award wouldn't be notable, even if it were sourced. But it's not sourced, and it seems it may not even be true, so there's no porn notability. Being extradited from the US for being an alleged Czech criminal? That's not even BLP1E. Substitute .001E and you have your answer. David in DC (talk) 18:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As discussed in WP:BLP/N, wholly negative bio with a single flimsy claim to notability. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 22:32, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Even without the BLP removed paragraph, yet another low-role porn actor trading off someone else's famous name to make a career. Not much here to speak of. Nate • (chatter) 22:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a BLP1E where the event isn't notable. The notability claim for WP:PORNBIO is false. Getting extradited isn't enough for WP:PERPETRATOR. • Gene93k (talk) 23:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
