 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, is XRCO Hall of Fame inductee from 1999, also see Metro Weekly, "starring ’70s gay porn icon George Payne". Also The Daily Beast, which called him a "veteran" actor, "The two leads were to be played by Scorpio (as Octavius) and the veteran George Payne, who was cast as Demetrius.".

 * Keep: Meets WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. - Roger editor (talk) 13:04, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocked for spamming, likely WP:UPE. MER-C 15:15, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG as he has starred in notable porn films both in the straight and gay industry such as The Back Row, Centurians of Rome, The Tale of Tiffany Lust, and several of the 'Avon' series of the films such as The Taming of Rebecca. He and some of his career have been written about in non-trivial form in multiple books, newspapers and magazines, some of which is already cited in the article and pointed about by previous voters. There is also an The Advocate article (1) plus other coverage of varying degrees on google books. Susie Bright called him a gay porn megastar in this 1988 Advocate article.2 Plus his induction into the XRCO Hall of Fame (decided by industry critics) shouldn't be discounted.

 * Comment: I did a research project and improved and expanded the article, (please see version after expansion and improvements, essentially substantially different article from when it was originally nominated). 1999 inductee to XRCO Hall of Fame. Metro Weekly called him a "70s gay porn icon". Susie Bright put him among "megastars of gay erotica" including Casey Donovan (actor). See also an existing Good Article model for how this article was improved and will continue to be improved further, at Casey Donovan (actor).

 * Keep per above comments - enough coverage in reliable secondary sources to write a neutral article and meeting the requirements of WP:NACTOR. Gbear605 (talk) 19:34, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
