Brad Posey[edit]

proposed deletion contested by author. Some additional information has been added, but I'm still not sure the subject is notable. – Gurch 01:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it Brad Posey is renowned for being the #1 in his field and is very recognizable. So much so that people have tried to kill him. Clearly notable. Who cares if it isn't your thing? He's referenced in the Rex article on this same site. He should be included.
Weak Keep It seems like an okay article... It could be worked on, though.--SUIT 01:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - NN enough... Spawn Man 02:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - filming somebody while they take thier melvin to the circus is not enough to garner an encyclopedia entry -- wtfunkymonkey 03:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep OK, so gay porn is not my thing, so I hadn't much prior knowledge on this subject. However, a quick google search turns up: an IMDB listing, this review from a third-party source, and numerous other reviews and locations to buy his videos. They are in wide release, and reviewed in the press. If we are to view this solely within the field of gay porn, he is notable. We cannot take the premise that he is non notable JUST because he shoots gay porn videos. --Jayron 32 04:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep article needs work but in respect of the Simon Rex controversy he is clearly notable. Orderinchaos78 05:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article does not provide multiple, reliable, verifiable independent sources sufficient to show notabliity. Edison 17:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep per Jayron. Should be sourceable. — brighterorange (talk) 19:22, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I vote to KEEP
Delete. Fails WP:BIO. Valrith 22:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A Google search for "Brad Posey" provides 929 hits, none of which assert notability. Inclusion in IMDb alone is not an establishment of notability, as you can find a page for anyone who was "Guy On Street 5", and their edatorial requirements for notability are pretty much nil. The references to the tempcity.com website are also unsuitable for determining notability -- its a friggin fan forum for crying out loud. They've never been acceptable for it. Nothing exists thus far that would meet WP:BIO. Consequentially 00:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An image uploaded bu the author is marked I am friends with Brad and he gave me this photo. That's what we call conflict of interest. -- RHaworth 06:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The person is notable as an AVN award winner. Yamaguchi先生 03:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly queasy Keep - just scrapes into notability. WMMartin 16:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Fails WP:COI but subject is notabole. Needs to be rewritten to indicate that his films are gay porn, as a matter of fact. -THB 20:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep AVN award winner. --Oakshade 23:16, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
