 * Keep. Luke Ford has been well known both in the porn world and in American Orthodox Jewish circles. I'm a little puzzled by the stated grounds for this AfD, given that the article already cites substantial coverage about Ford in Wired, the Los Angeles Daily News, and Salon. Quick searches also find a cover story  and other coverage about him in The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, and an unflattering portrayal in The New York Times.  There are passages in this article that would benefit from editorial attention, but his notability is evident. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep albeit a pile on, based on User:Arxiloxos. I have looked at the article but not checked the references myself.   Aoziwe (talk) 10:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep As others have noted, the article cites a wide variety of reliable sources that establish notability and a Google search shows many more. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 11:55, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources provided, meets GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 16:39, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject meets GNG requirements despite deficiencies in article. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 20:21, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
