• Note: This user appears to be a single purpose account that goes around to AfD articles and votes delete with this same exact wording every time. Silverseren^C 18:13, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

How do the sources not establish notability? Silverseren^C 08:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Comment "Treasure Island’s Dawson Makes Hot Butt Magic" - NightCharm

"2008 Golden Dickie Award Nominations" - RadVideo

"Meat Packing" - Sex Herald

I found these three new sources and added them to the article. Silverseren^C 09:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

• Keep: I'm with Silver; I have a hard time seeing what about this article is poorly sourced.  RGTraynor  21:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

In terms of what? Can you please be more specific? Silverseren^C 18:11, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

• Keep I forgot to vote before. The sources that I have here and are already on the page are enough to establish notability, taking into account that porn actors do not have the same type of news as everyone else does (as you're not going to find news articles about them in mainstream newspapers.)

• Keep. Within gay porn, barebacking is considered controversial. As such videos extolling the practice as Treasure Island does are seemingly shut out altogether. Ergo a new awards that recognize this genre have been created and apparently this is one of the big winners of the year. So it certainly meets PORNBIO and likely GNG as well. -- Banjeboi 11:15, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
