I see no claim to notability for this film. To be honest I'm sure where I would even start to look for sources for a gay porn. Ridernyc (talk) 13:06, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep: given the genre and subject matter of, i suppose that claim could be made of most--if not all--lgbt media, as well as a thinly veiled reason for purging all. [1] [2] --emerson7 17:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Um no offence but what do those serach results show, most of them are sights selling the DVD, and the second searcjh is so broad I'm having trouble finding any hits for the movie at all. Ridernyc (talk) 00:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment:Here's a site reviewing the porno.[3] (SFW; shows no penises) They discuss some plot details. —Mike Allen 02:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I doubt that's a reliable source judging by the disclaimer at the bottom: "Adult DVD Talk provides a public forum for consumers to post their DVD reviews. Adult DVD Talk does not edit these reviews". Epbr123 (talk) 19:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Couldn't find much reliable coverage. Epbr123 (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have no idea how many other male identical twins work with each other in gay porn. Yikes. Porn films do not get the coverage of their mainstream highly touted brethren, but this one has enough coverage for what it is. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:08, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy back to author. While my thought is that twin males working together in gay porn is a unique circumstance for that industry, and so worthy of note, I can find litle beyond verification of the existance of the film. Perhaps the gentlemen themselves merit an article, and this film could then be set as a redirect to them. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 19:27, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes would you mind showing us this coverage. people keep saying there is coverage yet no one seems to be able to produce any. Ridernyc (talk) 01:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Can't find any reliable coverage for this. —Mike Allen 02:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, seems to fail WP:GNG. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:53, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy I find 4 gay porn films with this title: "Twins" in 1977 (Christy twins), "Twins" in 1993 (Karlstadt twins), "Twins" in 1998 (the actual date of release of the film under discussion, Gabriel and Oscar) and in 2007 "Twins 3.0" was released (Hawke twins and Fisher twins). An article about the theme of twins in gay pornography might be justified, if it does not already exist (around 20 such films have the theme of twins in the title), but this film is not notable for being unique in the genre and I find no awards specifically for Gabriel and Oscar.
