JG-Leathers

 * Delete Self referal - not enough contents. Seems like an attempt to use Wikipedia for Advertisement. --219.111.147.78 12:53, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep - this page was here before it was added to by what appears to be its subject, who does appear to be notable. -- The Anome 13:34, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Advertising. As for the notability, we're talking about notable in a subculture of a subculture of a subculture that's largely underground.  It would be a tough case to make on those grounds, but the article is advertising at present. Geogre 02:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Geogre. Quale 05:50, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete advertising. JamesBurns 07:59, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - over 1000 Google hits for JG-Leathers himself, and he has been interviewed in both Sectret Magazine and MARQUIS magazines ; and described by a verifiable third party as being "recognized worldwide as an authority in human pony play, training, and harness construction" . Describing this particular subculture/fetish as a "subculture of a subculture of a subculture" is an exaggeration, in any case, and subcultural notability is still notability -- otherwise, do we also delete mathematicians who belong to obscure specialisms? -- Karada 08:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete --NeoJustin 17:56, June 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into List of bondage models, writers, photographers and artists or something similar. -- StopTheFiling 18:09, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
