List of African-American pornographic actors

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list included in WP:NOTDIRECTORY#6, Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. Unlike other lists with pornographic themes, a list of pornstar by ethnicity does not promote knowledge and has no encyclopedic value, becoming a "catalog" for connoisseurs. It promotes a racial division that is even criticized by sectors of the pornographic industry itself. And allowing only African Americans excludes the possibility of prominence of other Afro-descendants who work in the pornographic industry. The article needs additional citations for verification since February 2008 Guilherme Burn (talk) 17:19, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - totally unnecessary list per Guilherme. Kirbanzo (talk) 17:58, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If List of African-American actors is permissible, what distinguishes this list? The fact that it is associated with pornography? bd2412  T 18:11, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Unlike List of African-American actors, which has a reason to be here, this list does not. Further, it breaches WP:NOTDIR by potentially becoming a "catalog" for people looking for pornographic actors of African-American descent. Kirbanzo (talk) 18:51, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHER. Your question is a good one. In my opinion any list based on ethnic groups should be questioned. But I believe in this list this issue mingles with issues of Ethnic pornography that usually depreciates black people. Perhaps a more general list that featured black people attached to the pornography industry that does not look so much like a catalog is more valid. Guilherme Burn (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If this list is deleted. I see no problem in including her participants in List of African-American actors. Porn actor are actor too.Guilherme Burn (talk) 17:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
