Biography (there's dispute about whether it's a WP:BLP or not) of a porn actor whose only stated or sourced indication of notability per WP:PORNBIO is that he won the "Biggest Bitch on Set" award one year for being a total PITA to actually work with. This is not a viable or compelling notability claim for a porn actor, but nothing else here is any stronger -- and neither is the sourcing, which depends on one deadlinked primary source profile on the website of his own former employer and two glancing namechecks of his existence in references that are primarily about other things. Which thus brings us to the biggest problem of all: there has been an edit war raging for several years now over claims that he died in 1997, and that claim persistently relies on user-generated sources like IMDb and genealogy databases because reliable source coverage that would properly verify it is completely nonexistent. There simply isn't enough legitimate sourcing here to get him over WP:GNG, and there's no notability claim strong enough to exempt him from having to get over GNG, regardless of whether he's alive or dead.

 * Delete The sourcing is just about non-existent and I can find noting better. Doesn't meet GNG. PORNBIO isn't in play either. David in DC (talk) 13:34, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete -- does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies and lacks significant RS coverage. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:38, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough notable sources, doesn't meet GNG for biographies and not enough coverage.--ClrView (talk) 10:07, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Deleteper nom and pretty nuch all of the above. That winning an award as "Biggest Bitch on Set" was considered encyclopedic content tells you how low our standards for coverage of this field have been. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 10:27, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
