 * Comment This is my first attempt at listing an article on the AFD page, so I hope I am not out of line commenting here. I stumbled across this article, and its main point of noteability was that it was the escort service associated with the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal. I thought that was a pretty tennuous reason for it to have its own stub article, so I originally redirected it to the Spitzer scandal page. As it turned out, the connection to the Spitzer scandal was not true- or at least a very questionable claim- so I deleted the redirect, and, once the Spitzer scandal info was removed from the article space, it was all of two sentences long.  A cursory Google search of NY Confidential didn't provide anything that looked noteable to me, so I AFDed it. Maybe someone has some other sources, or can point me in the right direction, b/c I'd much rather salvage an article than delete it, even though I really have no interest in the subject, and just kind of stumbled onto it in the first place. OK, thanks The Eskimo (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Lee Mortimer. I am finding very little specifically about the escort service, but quite a bit about a society column he used to write under the names NY Confidential, N.Y. Confidential, or New York Confidential. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:23, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - the company (and the guy) is actually pretty notable for a number of reasons... but is simply impossible to source. shrug, such is life --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 19:30, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The NY Magazine Article about the 2000 dollar hooker was based on this agency. If its notorious enough for a magazine article, it should stay. There is also a movie staring Jeremy Pivin about Jason Itzler and NY Conf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.160.61 (talk) 20:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
