 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:PORNBIO and the WP:GNG. No qualifying awards. No independent reliable sourcing. No nontrivial biographical content. No nontrivial GNews or GBooks hits (many, many spurious hits because the names he performed under were shared with other, more prominent performers). Survived 2010 AFD (Articles_for_deletion/Chris_Stone) based on scene award, which no longer establishes or counts toward notability. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 13:59, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Question could you point me towards the details about which porn awards are considered notable (or, more specifically, somewhere it was broadly agreed that the GayVN awards were not notable in this sense)? WP:PORNBIO doesn't include or link to such as list. The GayVN awards is included in |Category:Gay pornographic film awards, as linked to by WikiProject Pornography but that only means that they're significant enough to have an article about them, not that they're significant enough to confer notability themselves. (I'm not voting yet because working through sources for a pornstar from before the internet age is always difficult. Clarity on the award's status might help matters.)

 * WP:PORNBIO says expressly that "Awards in scene-related and ensemble categories are excluded from consideration", regardless of the awardgiver; the GayVN award at issue here is "Best Sex Scene". In general, whether a particular award meets the PORNBIO standards depends on both the awarding organization and the award category. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

 * Delete Thanks, that helps. In this case, having looked further, it makes no difference anyway. The archived version of the referenced page for the award doesn't mention him, his other psdeudonym, or the film he won for. IMDb doesn't support the claim either. There seems to be an ongoing effort to remove pornography-related articles, which bothers me on principle, but in this case I don't see a supportable claim to notability.

 * Delete -- WP:GNG fail. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:36, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks significant coverage by reliable sources. Previously kept due to a scene-related award win, which has since been excluded from the WP:PORNBIO guideline. Independent searches for reliable source coverage yield only trivial mentions and cast listings. • Gene93k (talk) 23:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
