[edit] Joe Foster (porn star)

This article was created in June with the sentence, "Joe Foster is a gay porn actor." Up until early this month, the only other changes that happened to the article were the bolding of the person's name and the addition of the {{porn-stub}} tag. The most recent edits have been to identify him as being from Australia and to add an additional sentence asserting the importance of the person. There is no source for the claim that he's gay; just because he won an award for being in a gay movie doesn't make that so. Articles like this are not stubs, they're a waste of time. If the original editor can't come up with more than a one-sentence article, they shouldn't start it; this should have been Speedy Deleted when it was first created. If Cole Tucker, with 7 awards, was deleted due to the article being unsourced and non-notable, why should this guy, with one award and no article content, stick around?—Chidom ^talk  06:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - not enough content --ArmadilloFromHell 06:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I agree there is not enough content. I would contend though that, as I understand it, the reason for deleting Cole Tucker was not his lack of significance but the lack of quality content in his article. I would further argue that Joe Foster is as deserving as the many porn star entries that are currently in existence for a quality entry but this is obviously not a quality entry. Lastly, I take some exception to the statement about Joe Foster being gay. There is no statement in the article about him actually being gay but it is well documented that he worked in gay pornography.Fillups44 17:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: If I misinterpreted the sentence, "Joe Foster is a gay porn actor", I'm sure I'm not alone. It could very well be read as describing his sexual orientation rather than the type of porn he appears in. The latter is acceptable provided a gay porn film that lists him in the cast credits is referenced; the former is potentially libellous unless specific veriable sources that state that he is gay are found.—Chidom ^talk  00:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
