Hot Legs and Feet
Article was already put up for speedy deletion as spam, but the author responded with {hangon}, then removed that tag entirely. I suppose the article makes some claims to notability, what with the use of words "world-renowned" and whatnot, but as far as I can tell, it's just another fetish site among thousands and thousands. (It does have an Alexa rank of 55,772, which isn't terrible, but I don't think that's terribly notable for a porn site, either.) Furthermore, the fact that the article is apparently being created by the site's owner gives this one huge NPOV problems... and I'm not a fan of advertising in Wikipedia. -- Captain Disdain 02:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per my own nom. -- Captain Disdain 02:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Speedy delete -- the original author just blanked the page (the blanking was reverted by a bot, but still) and said "OK Delete this article. I am creating a new one for Denys Defrancesco, the photographer as your requested thanks" on the article's talk page. -- Captain Disdain 02:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

We are trying to introduce the works of Denys Defrancesco to Wikipedia. He's one of the most sought-after adult photographers for the past 25 years. Consider him the Hugh Hefner of Europe. He's that big. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hot Legs and Feet (talk • contribs) 01:59, 26 May 2006
 * If you want to create an article about a photographer, you go right ahead and create an article about a photographer. Right now you're advertising a porn site that apparently features his pictures, which is a whole different thing. As for being the Hugh Hefner of Europe... well, "Denys Defrancesco" gets about 16,300 Google hits, whereas "Hugh Hefner" gets 2,950,000. I think those numbers pretty much speak for themselves. -- Captain Disdain 02:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as above. --Llort 03:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete We already have a Denys Defrancesco article. I'm familiar with his work and it's really good, but this isn't necessary. Danny Lilithborne 03:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. That Denys Defrancesco article needs some serious clean-up, because right now it's a non-encyclopedic press release. -- FRCP11 04:02, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Danny Lilithborne 04:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * For the record, the Denys Defrancesco article was started after this one went to AfD, so saying that we already have one may be a little misleading. (That said, I do believe the guy is easily notable enough to merit an article, although it is very, very true that right now it's nothing more than a puff piece. I don't think the creator is all that familiar with Wikipedia yet, but I have given him instructions and hopefully he makes the changes. I'm going to keep an eye on the article, so if he doesn't improve it soon, I'll do some work on it myself -- just don't want to run all over the new guy.) -- Captain Disdain 10:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete; nom put it well. Comment; I've suggested a NPOV edit for Denys Defrancesco which is less like a press release. Colon el Tom 12:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
