The subject of this article is non-notable and I have been unable to find any verifiable sources to support it. Remarkably, the article includes this passage, under the overblown heading, Controversy: His rather outspoken, sometimes unfounded comments on other photographers, directors, and artists, as well as his public airing of his private life could be considered career-breaking, or at least a hindrance this early on in his career [my emphasis]. Even more remarkably, in the sentence that follows its author resorts to the absence of material as evidence of notability: some websites, including buzznet.com were edited to completely remove his concluding interview in its entirety. The "external link" provided is a personal blog, and of the four "references" provided, three do not mention his name and the other one is (again) buzznet, hardly meritorious. Let's drop this absurdity. Pinkville (talk) 01:01, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I quote from the page that I think is meant: The Daily Freak Show is a new daily show featuring James St James and certain friends set loose on the town! covering a variety of stuff. Check it out now and tune in to the WOW Report every day to see a fresh installment. So fresh, in fact, you'll want to slap its face. This sounds profoundly unnnotable to me. Should I really go to trouble of downloading and installing some plug-in just to see this? Hm, I am interested in photography, and I could be persuaded to do all this for insights into another Cartier-Bresson or another Nachtwey. Let's see what photographic wonders are in store. The work stars various people I've never heard of, sixth or seventh among whom is masochist porn actor James Michael Gomez. "Masochist porn actor"? What happened to the photography? But I might still manage to work up some infinitesimal interest, possibly. Let's see, how long was this? -- Running Time: 06:46. So in the last 46 seconds or so of this very obscure video, a masochist porn actor appears to tell the world who he is and why he'll later be cut out. Uh, no, can't be bothered. -- Hoary (talk) 00:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
