Regarding the message you left on my talk page: "I have the name PHOTO LARRY and it is copyrighted by me. Many people search the web for me. I just was placing the definition of myself so people can locate me." That is not what wikipedia is for. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not the Yellow Pages. Subjects of wikipedia articles need to pass the notability guidelines (see for instance WP:BIO, WP:CORP and WP:WEB). It's also not advised to write articles about yourself or your company.

Please read Wikipedia:Autobiography: if you are truly notable, someone will come along to write an article about you sooner or later. If you come across an autobiography, or any other article, that you believe doesn't belong on wikipedia, feel free to nominate it for deletion. However, that doesn't absolve this particular article of its responsibilities. Photo Larry didn't assert the notability of the subject and it had no content and no context (speedy deletion criteria A1 and A3). Wikipedia doesn't exist so that people are able to find you. Wikipedia exists to neutrally and verifiably inform users of notable and encyclopedic subjects. And yes, we allow porn actors on here, provided they are notable. That is because wikipedia is not censored. If you still strongly disagree with the deletion of your article, you may ask for a deletion review.

[edit] Photo Larry

A tag has been placed on Photo Larry, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Diez2 18:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
