Roger (pornographic actor)

 * – (View AfD) (View log · AfD statistics)

Possibly dead single-named porn performer. Fails WP:GNG and WP:PORNBIO. Only source at time of nomination is a dead link. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 06:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Poor Roger. I think some porn actors are notable, but there is a line where it crosses into the absurd and I think this article crosses it.  Without better sources, this article is a Delete for me. DRosin (talk) 10:52, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, he was the arguably the very first gay porn star, sources added. This is - yet another - of noms unfortunate fixation in this subject area where their poor judgment including apparently ignoring WP:Before is quite evident. -- Banj e  b oi   14:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice example of WP:ABF. Unsourced bios get nuked, if they get sourced instead then Wikipedia is the winner.  End of. Guy (Help!) 22:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete What was his real name? What was his precise date of birth? What is the source for the assertion that he was a hooker? I find none. None in the article. I guess we can't defame a dead guy whose only name is "Roger" but this is unsourced garbage that does not belong in an encyclopedia.Bali ultimate (talk) 23:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Real name added, I found no source yet to support his escort work but that he did so would hardly be surprising as it's rather standard in teh porn industry. -- Banj e  b oi   01:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: Per nominator. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as above; this is ludicrous. Searching for the words Roger pornographic actor will certainly return lots of hits. Which means boo. Cheers, Jack Merridew 12:34, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes but we need to find the ones they speak about this actor and they were active in a specific time period so that really is less of a challenge to seperate out which ones are which. Most gay porn actors after him simply had to use a second name as there already had been a Roger, if in doubt comparing filmographies would clear-up any confusion. -- Banj e  b oi   01:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
