Please do not add or change content, as you did at August Ames, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. IMDB is not considered a reliable source for porn performers' "real names" or "birth names", or for biographical content in general; adding such content to articles is treated as a violation of WP:BLP.

 * I read over Citing sources and nowhere does it say IMDB is not reliable. In this instance, IMDB, is clearly a reliable source as her IMDB profile was listed as one of the external links, along with her IAFD profile, before I even touched the page. Furthermore, IMDB requires you to submit public records, printed publications, or official documents before they would add their birth names. Frankly, IMDB has way better credibility than Wikipedia when it comes to public figures. To arbitrarily say IMDB is not a source when it's one of the external links is listed is frankly ridiculous.--TheBigNatural (talk) 12:36, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Regardless of your opinion on the matter, consensus does not allow IMDB to be used as a source for general biographical content in BLPs. See, for example, WP:RS/IMDB. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006.  (talk) 12:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You seem to be cherrypicking the rules. The fact of the matter is many of these performers' birthdays and biographical details also come from the same so-called "user-submitted" sources. Should we remove those too? You can't have it both ways. If that's the way to go then I'll be removing all biographical details and birthdays that are either unsourced or from these so-called "user-submitted" sources. Either way, this seems like a heavy-handed attempt to prevent their real names from being known despite the fact that they're already well-publicized and accepted by IMDB after users there submitted public records, public publications, or official documents--TheBigNatural (talk) 12:50, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
