Article doesn't assert notability of this organization. Fails WP:WEB, too, if you try to look at it that way. No secondary sources. Mikeblas 06:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge into a page about censorship or freedom of expression? There are many opinions about pornography, and there is not the room to discuss them here. Anthony Appleyard 06:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Deete per nom due to general lack of reliable sources. Stifle (talk) 20:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm not sure how much more stridently you expect a 2 sentence stub article to assert than to use the word "legendary". Anyway, it's not primarily a censorship organization; in fact, I'd say that like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, it's an organization mainly known for its awards, which are valued in the industry: see our Jenna Jameson article (which is what prompted me to make this stub), or these articles [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] ... There are also articles from outside the industry: SFWeekly 2006 Salon.com 2001 Salon.com 1999. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 18:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. The use of "legendary" in the article is in reference to William Margold. If the article is well-known for its awards shows, I find it remarkable that there's no mention of them in the article. -- Mikeblas 02:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been added to the WikiProject Pornography list of deletions. AnonEMouse (squeak) 18:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Their awards are promoted by the Hot d'Or,[6] the largest "adult" film festival in the world, which has been referred to as the "Academy Awards of adult video".—Chidom talk  04:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Covered by sources inside and outside the porn field. The article is heavily-sourced for its size, allowing for easy expansion. Not only is the organization obviously notable, the founder, William Margold, appears to be an interesting subject and worthy of an article himself. I look forward to reading that one soon.

  • Keep as per AnonEMouse. Tabercil 21:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've expanded the article awards section quite a bit, citing a number of secondary sources. Care to look again? --AnonEMouse (squeak) 17:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Bravo! Change my Keep to Strong Keep. The Mother of All Keeps. Dekkappai 19:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
