Arpad Miklos

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only sources from reputable sites (1, 2) only really mention his suicide. The other sources are just publicity. Subject doesn't seem notable to me. Ficaia (talk) 11:38, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment Not a lot of coverage, per the usual with porn peformers, but there are non-porn sources like this Out article (1) that assert notability in his field, both as a porn star and escort, and had an unusually long career for gay porn star standards.

 * Very weak delete: I know this isn't a strongly policy-based argument, hence the "very weak", but: if all an article has for WP:RS is sources that describe the subject's death by suicide... I think we should delete this. -- asilvering (talk) 04:47, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete We do not have adeaquate sourcing. There is no real coverage of him before his death, and the coverage of his death is not of such a large level that it justifies an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:11, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I forgot to mention there are a few other instances of Miklos getting relatively minor mainstream press coverage in multiple outlets for appearing on a line of beach towels for American Apparel in 2010 and when he appeared in Perfume Genius music video for his song "Hood" in 2012. A number of those can be found via google search. So there is more than just coverage of his suicide (albeit not great), and as I mentioned in my first post, there are assertions he was a notable person in his field. Mainstream coverage on porn stars is usually very superficial in nature, so you can't expect a lengthy write up on his life and career. I'm not sure this AFD will get much more participation after almost three weeks now and little discussion. I suspect most people who've seen it don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. Also Miklos has been deceased for a number of years now, so there are no BLP issues to contend with. I'll go ahead and vote Keep while I'm at it. Not my strongest AFD argument, but I think there's enough reasoning in my arguments to justify my vote. GoldenAgeFan1 (talk) 21:12, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I guess it's subjective, but I don't think references to the subject's commercial interest in a line of beach towels is significant coverage. Ficaia (talk) 14:42, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and/or WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Only WP:SIGCOV appears to be of subject's suicide, which is not a notability criterion in isolation. Eggishorn  (talk) (contrib) 23:00, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
