The result was   no consensus. Regardless, I think lists like this, as long as limited to notable performers, are good navigational devices, and also per DGG Black Kite 18:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:LISTCRUFT; this list is unlimited and/or unmaintainable, as half the actors in the world should be on it. &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 02:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: The lede should be changed because, as has been stated before (previous afd, talk page), the list is for notable men who have appeared in gay pornographic films. As such, it's perfectly maintainable and limited. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 05:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A list of notable male performers in gay porn films can correspond to a Category. A Project can be created for editors who want to ensure that the list is complete. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 08:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: A category cannot be properly sourced and/or watched. Anyone can be added to the category without others being able to monitor the addition. This page at least has instructions visible to anyone editing it, is monitored pretty carefully, and has a strong definition. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 14:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: An interesting point, though no one can be added to a category with a change to a watchable article. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 09:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Much better as a list, in addition to a category--the list offers the opportunity of providing context such as dates, thus assisting navigation. There is no such thing as too broad a list if it is being properly maintained, as this one seems to be. As justifiable as all film actor lists, all of them good choices as topics for lists--except of course to the people for who all lists are listcruft. Nobody is forcing them to read or work on them, and they should find better things to do than delete navigational devices that other people find useful.   DGG (talk) 03:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LC, items 2, 6, and 7. Stifle (talk) 16:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lists (discriminate, encyclopedic, maintainable, notable, unoriginal, and verifiable). -- Happy editing!  Sincerely,  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 16:39, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Half the actors in the world should be on a list of male performers in gay porn films? I think I'm witnessing the decline and fall of Western civilization.  Mandsford (talk) 12:52, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply: Oh, you know how actors are! —SlamDiego&#8592;T 12:11, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. BY ALL MEANS DELETE -- 99% of the articles on this list are so poorly written that they should be deleted and articles about porn stars can be put on "Wikiporno"   --  I can prove many of the citations on these articles to be false and this is only a free place on the net for guys who think they are hot cause they take their clothes off to brag.  There are also NO PARENTAL WARNINGS about this page or any of the pornographic articles listed here!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.91.119 (talk) 18:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
