VitalyzdTv Pornographic section
The last statement of the page details a clip of Vitaly being in a pornographic film. This is accurate but the Website that is listed in the citation section is not a reliable website. The current link directs readers to cite where users post personal attacks on others. An example of this can be found on the page where people are directed. The rant was written by THE DIRTY ARMY which criticizes Vitaly for his inability to maintain an erection throughout the video.

I will remove the webpage that is cited, the author of the comment can feel free to post a reliable website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:780C:B4A9:5D25:F535:6840:2A58 (talk) 00:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 11 August 2013
Add to the article that Vitaly also makes a brief appearance in the 2013 film "Pain & Gain" starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie. I noticed it today and below is confirmation. Source

Not done: I agree with User:Stfg; the changes you suggest are not in the best interest of the encyclopedia. It appears you may have an interest other than the encyclopedia in mind when you made the request and it would be useful for you to review our guidelines concerning conflicts of interest. If there are details which are objectively incorrect or given inappropriate weight, you can raise that concern here on the talk page and try to reach a consensus with the other editors to adjust the article.

Page update
While it is quite obvious the person above is trying to white-wash the page, upon closer inspection there are a lot of sources out there not being used, so I will take some time to update the page. Help is welcome! Jeremy112233 (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Notability
As per Wikipedia's Notability guidelines, "Notability" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". The references may establish fame but are not substantial enough to establish notability. Smithderek2000 (talk) 00:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Which year did he move from Russia?
When did he move from Russia to USA?

I'm just curious because he seems extremely well adjusted to the new culture and he is not a young teen. So just curious how old was he when he arrived to USA?--74.57.167.219 (talk) 21:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Shouldn't his career as a male performer in pornographic films be included?
Especially since it caused such a huge wave of publicity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.201.228 (talk) 06:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
