Kevin James (pornographic actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT: none of the references currently in the article constitute significant coverage in reliable sources. The source for his death is a highly sketchy self-published website, and everything else is a database entry (IMDb or IAFD). I looked for new ones and found only trivial coverage in several books about pornography. (Complicating the search was the fact that a mainstream actor has the same name.)

 * Delete. I am surprised this article lasted 10 years without any good sources. I remember this porn legend, but not even the porn trade press gives him any non-trivial coverage. Biographical detail has never been sourced. Without good sources, even a PORNBIO claim for the Taboo series would have been a stretch. Nothing to support WP:BASIC or WP:ENT notability. Note: The nominator's first book link comes from Luke Ford.  Not only does Ford have an abysmal reputation for fact checking, the book contains multiple proven factual errors. • Gene93k (talk) 04:48, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know about Ford--I appreciate it, and I'll keep it in mind in future. Cheers, gnu 57 14:24, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
