Fails WP:BASIC / WP:ENT. A contributor to the previous AfD said that major American newspapers had run articles about Mr. Smothers. Those were duplicate copies of this Reuters human-interest story. I looked for additional sources and didn't find much. Here's some trivial coverage of his band [1][2]; his father mentioned him in an interview [3]; a National Post article about the children of celebrities included a paragraph about his family situation [4]. gnu57 13:23, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Discogs and wikipedia mirrors and adult-themed websites, are about all I can find. Interesting history on this person, but nothing for GNG, ACTOR or MUSIC. Oaktree b (talk) 15:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oaktree b - The media does not cover porn in any way outside of an arrest and maybe a death once in a while. It's not due to a lack of popularity or interest, but due to companies not wanting to be associated with it. Adult sites would be the only source of information for those topics.KatoKungLee (talk) 15:02, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Um, it was more like films of him performing. We can't use those for RS. Oaktree b (talk) 16:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
