Big bold archiving

I archived all the old talk as it seems to be ... old and resolved. If something still needs to be sorted feel free to civilly present what you think needs to be changed and why and other editors can offer their take on the issue(s). Banje boi 06:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name

Per recent discussions on BLP board, I have removed the birth name on BLP grounds (it also lacks a reliable source).. . --Jkp212 (talk) 19:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I had added a source but now have put in a few more so we can move on from this. He was intertwined in a murder trial so it's not surprising that this got coverage from LGBT, porn and mainstream media. My money's on the murder becoming a made-for-TV movie. Banje boi 20:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose a murder trial does make including his name, notable. But I'm still somewhat uncomfortable that an 'adult entertainment' actor being "outed" (god so many euphemisms going on in this sentence). Mark t young (talk) 20:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really? His many publicity appearances and extremely high-profile public life would seem to suggest he's not bothered. It's just his birth name and everyone else seems to know it so it's now sourced with multiple reliable sources so we have it in the article as well. I stopped at 6-7 refs but there was certainly more. Banje boi 20:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but I am uncomfortable with it in general. After reading the discussion at BLP, I agree that in general their "true names" should be left out unless there is a good reason to include. But as you say he has made many publicity appearances and there has been some, legal, issues regarding him. I have no problem with his birth name in the article. Mark t young (talk) 20:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with [user: Mark t young] that true names should generally be left out. But you've made a good argument for inclusion in this case. --Jkp212 (talk) 22:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
