The result was Delete - The existence of a similar article is not a basis on which to keep this one (please nominate it if you feel it should go) and although it is argued that a cited list is worth keeping this list is not cited. Yomangani^talk 00:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A list of all male porn actors. Unmaintainable. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 15:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No way to maintain this. RedRollerskate 18:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete How could this be maintained? JASpencer 18:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete mostly a redlink farm. Those could easily be culled, but the maintainability issues remain. Makes more sense as a category, and indeed there does seem to already be one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep if we have a category for it, I see no reason not to have a list...in fact if we have a category thats a very good reason TO have a list. Jcuk 19:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• delete, we have a general list of people on wikipedia, but something like "list of porn stars" makes an assertion about people that really needs to be sourced under the terms of WP:BLP, the issues involved with maintenance makes it seem like this would be better served by a category, or a narrower list, like lists of award winners for each year or something (to prove notability).

• Delete. Existing category (for all pornstars) is sufficient and maintainable. Pavel Vozenilek 22:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep a list can contain sourcing for verifiability whereas the category cannot. Carlossuarez46 16:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - it's shockingly sexist to suggest that a list of male porn stars doesn't deserve to be on the same site as a List of female porn stars (which the community seems to have no trouble maintaining...) Jacobian 15:55, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right. If this list get deleted, I'll nominate that other one as well. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 16:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unmaintainable. Category is sufficient. Eluchil404 05:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Eluchil, who well recapitulates all the other cogent arguments here essayed, and consistent with my abiding disfavoring of lists wherever categories might suffice. Joe 03:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as redundant to the category. Sandstein 09:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• keep - Wikipedia has lots of list articles. This is a perfectly valid way of assembling informaiton. Zeromacnoo 11:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  So is Category:Male porn stars, which is easier to maintain being a category. Tizio, Caio, Sempronio 12:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep either group both pages for grouped deletion or neither. No cherry picking! Widefox 02:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
