Talk:Billy Herrington

Moved this from the main page
The following comment was placed on the article page by 81.159.105.213 at (09:44, April 2, 2007. I moved it here to the talk page, which is the more appropriate place for it. I also added the tag to the article page.


 * This article holds no true indication or fact to Herrington’s sexuality, as there has been no evidence released to the contrary. There is no other source of information stating that Billy Herrington is in fact straight and gay-for-pay, so unless the author of this article can clearly state this source of information, I ask Wiki to withdraw the article.


 * For proof that Herrington is indeed gay-for-pay, consult the audio commentary on the HotMen CoolBoyz DVD! --90.184.23.95 12:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This article bears no evidense relating to billy herringtons true sexual preference as said being hetrosexual and 'gay-for-pay'. In the link here is has a statement by Herrington himself regarding his sexual preference when questioned if he was 'straight, bi or gay', to which he answered he was gay. []

Yes, and this link says he's identifies as bisexual... http://www.alsgaypornstars.com/bherrington.html

Reliable Sources
It appears that none of the sources used in this biography qualify as reliable sources. I have removed youtube, but all or nearly all of the other sources should probably be removed as well. The article may need to be reduced to a stub. Born Gay (talk) 03:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * uhh, yes again in 2015. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  14:56, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Potential hoax
This article contains a lot of grammatical errors, blatantly incorrect information (which looks like it is unaddressed vandalism) and little sources/bad sources. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks.

 * The vandalism has been reverted. Thanks. _dk (talk) 06:38, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Possible death
I did a quick Google search and I found a twtter post saying that his mother confirmed his death and many other twitter posts about this. So I guess the anonymous users adding about his death were right. Bowling is life (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Even if he has died recently, WP:BLP still applies, including the requirement to attribute statements like that to reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 17:27, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's what I was thinking. We should wait until there are reliable sources about his death. Bowling is life (talk) 17:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Confirm. I did the same research and was sure that he was dead. I am very sorry for this and urge this page should be corrected. Myxuaner (talk) 18:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Please provide the link of the source and I or someone else will add it for you. Bowling is life (talk) 18:18, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

03.03.2018 Billy Herrington died
It's a sad day - Billy Herrington died in a car accident (on 2nd of March, I believe). Some of his friends and relatives confirmed it on twitter, his mother posted about it on facebook. PepeHands — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.84.213.47 (talk) 17:24, 3 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Friends posting on Twitter are not reliable sources. We need to wait until a newspaper or other media source reports it. —C.Fred (talk) 17:26, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Lol this is exactly why I stopped contributing to Wikipedia, after providing thousands of edits for years. Yep, his literal MOTHER stating that he died is NOT reliable. We must wait for our precious MSM sources like our holy CNN (pbuh) before believing it. Wikipedia is dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.38.170.98 (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it is reliable but Wikipedia policy says info must be backed up by reliable, published sources. That's just the way it is. Once sources like that pop up we can add it. Bowling is life (talk) 17:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Why a mother would lie about the death of her child? Those are the reason why I really hate wikipedia --37.117.40.131 (talk) 18:28, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * How can we prove the account belongs to his mother? —C.Fred (talk) 18:29, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * | Here, a source. Are you happy now? --37.117.40.131 (talk) 18:40, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It still based on that twitter,thanks. —昴星团 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:47, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * An article from entertainment website cannot be regarded as reliable source. ——StefanTsingtauer (talk) 21:44, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I was talking to earlier about this. The user believed it was a reliable source so it has been cited that Billy Herrington did die. FunksBrother (talk) 00:04, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I have evidence on where Billy was involved in a car collinsion. https://i.4cdn.org/r9k/1520125947783.png Swaggum13 (talk) 01:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Billy's penis
Does anyone have a reliable source about Billy's penis length?

Death Section
I got in contact with his sister on Facebook in attempts to gather info on his grave location. She stated he was only cremated (according to his wishes) at Forest Lawn Cemetery. While his mother is in current possession of his ashes, they are not stored anywhere at the cemetery. I no longer have the chat logs in my possession, but you're welcome to confirm this information as you wish. If someone wants to correct the information under the Death section in more professional wording, please do. I have already done this for the Gachimuchi fandom Wikia site. --2600:1700:FE70:820:25FE:9E71:167B:53C5 (talk) 07:03, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
