International Escort Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not notable. For-profit "award" ceremony staged by an online advertising service to promote its customers. No significant news coverage; the only source that isn't one-shot "news of the weird" type coverage comes from Michael Musto'd gossip column -- and he turns out to be a presenter at the "ceremony." Lots of promotional blogging that borders on advertising, though. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:22, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable & unencyclopedic article. Keb25 (talk) 18:24, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nom's opinions are, to all intents and purposes, consensus with regards to Pr0n articles. No need beyond pure bureaucratic formality for a discussion. Dekkappai (talk) 18:48, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep just because it's pornography and may be vanity press doesn't mean it's not notable. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:04, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Promotion of some dudes company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gotti gotta beat down (talk • contribs) 23:45, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is marginally notable. However, the sources are suspect:  There are two Village Voice sources, which is a significant newspaper, but one link was to a blog, and the other was to a column that was unrelated to this award.  Other sources are the company (Rentboy) promoting its own awards show.   So, unless more/better sources are found, this is a very minor awards ceremony, and should be deleted. --Noleander (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
