[edit] Thomas Lloyd (porn star)

Thomas Lloyd (porn star) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Having consulted with Thomas Lloyd about this article over the last couple months, I am requesting on his behalf that it be deleted. He tells me that half of what is written on the page is true and half is not. In particular there is an insulting slur included that apparently is hearsay spread by someone who wishes to do Thomas' reputation harm. This can be considered 'unreferenced negative content in biographies of living persons'. Thomas was unaware of the entry before I brought it to his attention. I've known him over the net for several years as a friend. I offered to write him a proper biography here with actual facts, verified and approved by him. He thought about it for a few weeks. We discussed it today. He saw no point in repairing the misinformation. So I offered to have the entire entry taken down. He enthusiastically approved my proposal. Essentially, he has no interest in public attention these days. He still has his old website up from 2000, which contains as much information as he currently wishes to share. His entry at IMDB.com also remains and I am attempting to provide it with some level of completeness. Please contact me directly about the situation if you like. As for Thomas getting involved, I am can ask him to provide verification of his wishes. Otherwise he is not interested in discussing the matter. :-Derek Derekcurrie (talk) 00:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment: I'm afraid that articles cannot be deleted because their subject requests it; the subject cannot dictate what is done with the article, either. Sorry. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 05:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep What the nom is asking for can be accomplished by editing the article and removing the content that is violating WP:BLP. It is not necessary or prudent to delete the entire article in such a case. JERRY talk contribs 05:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per the obvious that we don't delete articles just "because", and certainly not via second-hand requests. Unless Lloyd himself sends the request personally to OTRS, this matter is closed. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 05:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep While a Google search is fairly useless due to the common nature of the name, his appearance in The Fluffer, coupled with his GayNV award, make him notable in my opinion. Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 05:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
