Bang Bros


Non-notable porn production company and/or website. No WP:V viareliable sources either. Valrith 04:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as an article about a website that fails to assert notability. So tagged. MER-C 05:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Bang Bros is one of the largest internet porn sites- Alexa rank of 672. I think we should hold off on the speedy. --Wafulz 06:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and find reliable sources. It's a well known porn site, and a very high Alexa ranking. TJ Spyke 06:20, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, insofar as porn sites go, Bang Bros is pretty high up there. (Alexa rank 672 isn't too shabby, considering the dillions of porn sites in existence.) I suggest a merge of Bang Bus into Bang Bros, and an all-around cleanup of the Bang Bros article. &spades; P  M  C  &spades; 06:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Covered in non-porn media and party to an FTC action. Not sure if this is the best name, maybe rename as Bang Productions, Bang Bros Online, or Bang Bros Network, or Bangbros.com, Inc. (actual incorporated name of at least one company in the, um, pile). --Dhartung | Talk 07:05, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Best-known production company in the Web-based gonzo porn genre. (And yes, that's a genre.) The article needs to be... uh, refined somewhat. Caknuck 09:13, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, even if this porn studio is famous, I don't think it's very notable. J I P  | Talk 09:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article needs cleanup, but the subject is very well-known, has a good Alexa rank, has been covered in an independent media and has won awards: Bangbros is critically acclaimed as innovators, winning the 2006 AVN Award for Best Amateur Series and for Best Amateur Release. (Amateur meaning “genre”) (from Dhartung's link). Prolog 12:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major production company of the genre. 23skidoo 23:35, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Major production company of the genre. SchmuckyTheCat 03:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. One of the biggest companies in the internet pornography market, as well as having extremely high Alexa ranks on their sites. In reference to Dhartung's comments, It seems as if their payments come from "BBrosMedia.com" and "OXideas, Inc" as companies. I assume the B in BBros stands for Bang Bros so I would say as a generalisation that this article has the correct name, unless they are known more commonly by a different name.
