Lex Sabre

Unremarkable porn performer. Fails WP:PORNBIO. (Note that I removed the unacceptable Facebook and blog interview references, leaving this a completely unreferenced BLP.) Delicious carbuncle (talk) 12:29, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The facebook citation was only used to reference where the performer says he is from. This is not a major citation, but the general background information provided by his facebook page is factual. The blog interview citation for this article should never have been deleted. Other past interviews by the same interviewer on multiple websites have been used as reference material in other wikipedia entries for other adult performers. The interviewer is a columnist for multiple reliable sources of information for the gay adult entertainment industry including but not limited to Porn Confidential. That same blog where the interview is published has been recommended by Cybersocket, which is a publication with a large focus on the gay adult entertainment industry, and which sponsors a well-known annual award ceremony known as the Cybersocket Awards. In regards to the performer, Lex Sabre has received nominations and awards in multiple years, which qualifies him under WP:PORNBIO. If the issue is a lack of reputable sources for citation, then the new citation by the Grabby webpage for their 2008 list of Grabby nominees and the new citation from the IMDB webpage for the list of GayVN winners and nominees for 2008 resolves the issue.KylerCoy (talk) 21:56, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * All of Sabre's nominations for well-known awards appear to be in 2008. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:14, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sabre's Big Cock Society award is a well-known gay adult industry award Sabre won in 2006. Also, those nominations display that Sabre has "starred in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature," as per WP:PORNBIO. Specifically, the film "Link: Evolution" was both groundbreaking and a blockbuster when first released, and still remains a popular film in the gay entertainment industry, because of his solo scene which he received two nominations for in 2008. As well, his other nominated scene with Ken Browning in the same film popularized the trend of "submissive tops" or "submissive actives" in other films such as, but not limited to, the film "Taken: To the Lowest Level" which was released in the following year of 2009. The film "Link: Evolution" is listed in his videography as well as identified in the section titled "Awards and Nominations." KylerCoy (talk) 22:27, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Fails PORNBIO, no nontrivial GNews or GBooks hits, and if the award stressed by the article creator establishes notability, I get an article as "World's Greatest Grandpa." Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:28, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Per above. Fails WP:PORNBIO. Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:48, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing in the Awards and Nominations section is big enough to satisfy WP:PORNBIO. Tarc (talk) 19:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
