List of countries by pornography industry revenue per capita

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

This article uses as its primary source a blog that has no obviously credible source for its figures. This is a problem in two respects: first, the source sucks; second, the information itself is compiled by the source using methods that require creative effort so is probably copyright anyway. Not definitely or I would have G12'd it but I think on balance this has to go. Guy (Help!) 19:48, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - can never be definitive due to the nature of what is attempting to calculate. Eddie.willers (talk) 20:24, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete with Fire: You mean its SOLE source is a blog, Guy ... one which baldly admits "The following top 10 list has been compiled using credible sources and appear here in no certain order." Complete with suspiciously detailed stats like 89% of all youth have been sexually solicited in chatrooms, 8% of all e-mails are pornographic, 42.7% of Internet users view porn and 35.3% of Internet porn users have incomes of over $75,000 a year.  Suuuuure.  Fails WP:RS, WP:V.   Ravenswing  07:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Sole source of those numbers is not credible. It would be very difficult to estimate those revenues. (Government economic-statistics offices do tend to estimate revenue in different industries, but I doubt many of them drill down as far as porn, and there would be great inconsistency in definitions). bobrayner (talk) 03:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
