 * Delete. WP:NOTNEO. This subject does not in itself have enough notability to justify the existence of an article. If there's anything worth salvaging here, it ought to simply be merged into existing articles on pornography or internet pornography in particular. Ducknish (talk) 00:02, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a noteworthy topic. Northern Antarctica (₵) 03:27, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Split and merge. I found three mentions of the term in reliable book sources:, and . Arstechnica, cited in the article, is reliable, . Google Scholar shows some use of the term, too . That said, I am not convinced that this term is the most often used. The term seems to be used either to what is described at Amateur_pornography, or Internet_porn, and the article is somewhat of a mess trying to talk about those two concepts; not to mention there's some unreferenced spammy content, too. My current recommendation it to split and merge it between the two linked main articles. As written, it seems an inappropriate synthesis of two topics. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  05:42, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Split and merge per Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus. Porn 2.0 should end up being WP:DAB. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 19:45, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a topic of academic interest. See, for example, "Demystifying Porn 2.0: A Look into a Major Adult Video Streaming Website," by Garrett Tyson, et al. Passes GNG. Additionally, this article is a useful navigational device as a de facto "List of...". Carrite (talk) 06:06, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's another piece of significant independent coverage, for the record: Jacqui Cheng, "Porn 2.0 is stiff competition for pro pornographers," ARS Technica. Carrite (talk) 06:08, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - passes the GNG per Carrite and what I found among the Google Books hits. Morbidthoughts (talk) 21:52, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Widely used term among numerous academics and scholars in multiple secondary sources. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 10:29, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
