[edit] Cole Tucker

Tagged speedy db-bio but notability is asserted. Just not very convincingly. Unsourced, of course. Just zis Guy you know? 13:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom. --- Lid 13:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Look at the external links, including The New York Times, which amply demonstrate notability. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 13:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Did you look at the NY Times link? It's a one-paragraph synopsis for a German documentary which mentioned Cole Tucker once. That doesn't really confirm notability. -- Kicking222 14:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
    • You'll get used to how TT writes ;-). Ohconfucius
• Weak Delete for now, if someone introduces some more references that further justify notability, then maybe, if you can find me, I'll change my vote. Addhoc 14:58, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The article can be re-posted when it's been better written. This is a blurb; all the references are to the same information at different sites. This was one of several very short articles (some were one sentence long) posted within an hour by the same person. While the editor is new at this, talkspace is not a sandbox.—Chidom ^talk  18:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Weak Keep Delete He won two Probe/Men in Video Awards, in 1997 (Best Top) and 1998 (Best Actor); a Best Performer award ("Grabby") from the Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards of 1998; and was placed on the Grabby Wall of Fame in 1999. He received the 1998 GayVN Gay Performer of the Year and Best Supporting Actor - Gay Video awards and the 2000 GayVN Special Achievement Award for Aids Causes. He also has an extensive videography (including The Best of Cole Tucker), so he's probably worth an article. I'm the one who nominated it for a speedy delete; if the notability was asserted but unsourced, it should have gone. I still don't think that articles that someone has spent less than 5 minutes composing belong in the namespace, no matter what they assert. My weak "Keep" is because I'd be much more in favor of deleting this version and starting over with a version on which a little more time and research has been spent; I've certainly done part of that research.—Chidom ^talk  07:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (Additional references, comments)—Chidom ^talk  01:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Cole Tucker is one of the most well known porn performers of the past decade. There is something such as a "Cole Tucker type" which anyone in the industry will know instantly what that is. He is also referred to as a legend on this site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seeksreal (talk • contribs)
  • Comment Above editor is the article's creator, and has less 15 total WP edits. -- Kicking222 23:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see the notability from reliable sources. We definitely have inadequate evidence that he meets the renown/notoriety test of WP:BIO. I see no evidence that he meets the more specific WP:PORN BIO standards or meets WP:BIO for any reason other than the porn acting. GRBerry 01:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
