Doesn't meet WP:PORNBIO criteria. The only reliable source I've come across is a brief mention in this Daily News article. (then again, the Daily News article is a gossip page, so I don't know if it's reliable for a biography of a living person) APK because, he says, it's true 22:41, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Can't find anything that established notability outside of porn site and blog references. Definitely a hottie, though. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:27, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge ~~Delete~~ - I swore I would never vote delete per nom... So I won't. But APK is right (because, he says, it's true). There are no RS for him that I can find either. Just the porn sites and blogs, as mentioned by MZMcBride. The Daily News article has only six words specifically about Capucci, which is just a passing mention. Barely. Delete per WP:Notability, WP:PORNBIO, WP:RS, and WP:Verifiability. — Becksguy (talk) 03:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Merge per Benjiboi. There are sufficient sources he found to support an entry in the list, especially the GayVN nomination and Queer Porn Nation. — Becksguy (talk) 16:10, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, to List of male performers in gay porn films, the subject does not seem that notable but they indeed meet the list requirements. Until they win a few awards or otherwise rise to GNG the entry can sit there. BTW, there certainly are RS for this guy; Ny Daily News where RL name is shown to be Paul Barba and filming with Sacha Baron Cohen for a non-porn film, confirmed by Playgirl, Randy Blue, Falcon, Gay Porn Blog, Gay Porn Times, Lavender Lounge, Adult Video News, Naked Sword where he's apparently named Mr. December, Unzipped, XBiz, Odyessey, Towelroad, The Insider, GayVN nominee and that's just the first three pages I've sorted through. I would also use Queer Porn Nation as they seemed to sum up his career and explain him walking away from it. So his story makes a great couple of sentences but apparently he's already retiring. -- Banjeboi 01:39, 16 November 2009 (UTC) p.s. to the closer, I'll be happy to do the merge as I've been overhauling that list for a while. -- Banjeboi 02:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete. Fails WP:PORNBIO, no evidence he meets the GNG or any other specialized notability guideline; single minor role in mainstream film fails "multiple" requirement of WP:PORNBIO. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 20:56, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually there is evidence he might reach GNG but that it's teetering on a one event. Given he's apparently retired merging would solve the issue. -- Banjeboi 09:35, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
