Marco Banderas

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:Pornbio for lacking significant award, unique contributions to porn, and mainstream popularity. Male pornstars must be held at a higher standard, for obvious reasons. His page also fails WP:GNG Redban (talk) 19:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per the logic of my original PROD: "Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. No awards, just nominations. No independent, reliable sourcing. No reliably sourced biographical content." No real article improvement since that time, just the addition of a few unimportant biographical details from a self-published blogger interview without a reputation for fact-checking. and the citation of some scene awards that don't count toward notability under PORNBIO. While the list of nominations might be seen as strikingly long, roughly 60% are for group sex scenes, and the nominee is quite correct that such "recognition" is much less significant with regard to male performers, who make up a disproportionately small share of the industry "talent pool". The claimed "reality tv show" appears to be little better than vaporware. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 20:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm going to disagree with the nominator and previous voter that male performers should be held to a higher standard than female performers. This distinction/discrimination is not in PORNBIO nor any other notability guidelines. When you default to the general notability guidelines, Marco is covered by various Spanish sources. The "claimed" reality tv show is covered by them too. Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes the WP:GNG; has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject both inside the adult industry (AVN & XBIZ) and outside (Spanish mainstream media). Rebecca1990 (talk) 07:11, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE and WP:NRVE, "editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation." A few more sources in addition to the ones listed above by Morbidthoughts:, , , . Banderas was also, among other things, the main subject of a Canal+ documentary, , and of a TV3 portrait, . The subject certainly passes WP:GNG and possibly WP:PORNBIO on the basis of his television appearences and works. Article needs to be restructured and expanded, not deleted.

 * Keep - win, so meets the requirements. Subtropical -man   talk   (en-2)   21:01, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per Morbidthoughts - those sources show clear notability and push him past WP:GNG at the very least. Dusti</b>*Let's talk!* 04:48, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:GNG. — Joaquin008  ( talk ) 15:30, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
