Jeff Quinn (pornographic actor)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:PORNBIO, no indication the subject can satisfy the GNG or any other specialized guideline. Subject appeared in eight pornographic films in the 1980s. While the article claims the films are "consider among the best" for their era, the cited sources don't support that claim; while they mention one or two of the films, the article subject is noted only in passing. The original AFD was quite contentious and closed as no consenus; it took place during the Ash/Benjiboi fracas over gay porn. Much of the sourcing for the article, added during the initial AFD, has proved questionable or phony; what remains does little more than show existence and confirm the subject's participation in the porn industry. Two of the three book sources are effectively identical, as one reprints the relevant chapter from the other. The article subject simply lacks the coverage required to establish notability.

 * Reluctant delete - coverage of gay erotica and pornography is woefully underdone on Wikipedia so it disturbs me to see any aspect of that coverage removed, but an examination of available sources doesn't support a separate article for this performer. I see in the last AFD that his apparent status as a Playgirl Man of the Month was deemed equivalent to being a Playgirl Playmate, and in the interest of gender parity I agree. That automatic notability for Playmates has been deprecated so in fairness the same standard should apply to Playgirl Men of the Month. Harley Hudson (talk) 19:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Inclined to keep. I have no bias either way regarding PotM, but there appear to be numerous other awards given to this individual such that I am inclined to keep this article, even in basic stub form.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  22:03, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
