[edit] Pronunciation of name?

Does it sound like "toll" or "towel"? 75.3.115.173 17:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I believe it's "toll" based on a pronunciation heard in a LOGO interview/story rebroadcast on YouTube [1]. --Steuben (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Impartiality question

"He is thus, despite his good work, the product of the wealthy, white, gay ghetto." Factual, perhaps, but is this truly neutral? It seems a bit harsh and judgemental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.181.228 (talk) 01:49, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I decided to remove this because it is not relevant to Towle's notability. I used the Wikipedia:Biography guide as a source:[2] Keithbrooks 08:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this an Advertisement?

The article reads like a brochure or ad for his website. Is there no picture of this guy? Matt Sanchez (talk) 01:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Deletion

Matt Sanchez/Bluemarine has a personal connection to the subject of this article. From Andy Towle's blog:

"I was shocked to see this story this morning, for the main reason that Matthew Sanchez and I met at a gay bar in San Jose, California and went on a few dates in 1989 when I was a graduate student at Stanford. I haven't seen him since. It was brought to my attention after we had finished dating that he had gone on to do gay adult films but I had no idea he had joined the military and was also holding hands with folks who would be so loath to accept him into their ranks had they any clue to his background."
