Completely unreferenced BLP of male porn performer. Fails WP:PORN and WP:GNG. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of male performers in gay porn films. David Anders, likely his real name, was quite notable at the time and numerous gay smut mags as well as more mainstream gay press would have delved into endless drivelly questions which is exactly what we need here; including motivations, childhood environment, interests, etc. So certainly a good article could be woven together given those sources. He was a very big deal at the time and were those sources even in one spot, writing this would be a breeze. They aren't unless someone very close to him has a trunk of material or donated it to a archive somewhere. Given that the churning up of all that is unlikely, we have to go by what is readily available which isn't a lot. Sweeping all the little bits together will only yield a paragraph or two and it seems a bit pointless as most of it will not be readily verifiable. The next best choice is to merge to the list article where several juicy sentences works just fine. Deletion is not needed here. -- Banjeboi 15:15, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are his films notable? If so, he'd meet the suggested guidelines for including an actor. Dream Focus 02:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One is, Brians' Boys later renamed to Brian's Men. The same issue remains however that even though the porn industry thought he was unique and praiseworthy we don't have the sourcing to back that up. -- Banjeboi 03:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:PORNBIO, no indication that the subject meets the GNG or any other specialized notability guideline. GNews search turns other individuals of the same name, some private, some potentially notable, so that merger to/inclusion on a list creates BLP problems.
