• Delete Article creator (since blocked due to COI and SP concerns) wrote about creating the article about YNOT in a column posted to the site. Conflict of interest concerns for sure here, along with notability. Nate • (chatter) 07:29, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete. WP:N and/or WP:V - there are no independent references which establish notability. I42 (talk) 07:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:WEB. This INCREDIBLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK reference on the page provides an interesting look into this organisation's aims to "expand the presence of the adult industry on Wikipedia by tenfold". Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 13:19, 28 March 2009 (UTC).
• Delete as a promotional article with no clear evidence of notability and no independent sources. If this really is a notable organization, I am entirely confident that someone outside the organization will write about it. The author would be well-advised, as I think someone mentioned in his last incarnation, to improve the articles about adult entertainment topics while avoiding writing about himself and his own company. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
• Keep
  • More sources have been added. LaserVaZer (talk) 15:16, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Regarding "Lankiveil", there is no nudity at the link reference you mentioned. You'll note that tthe website in question contains links to the http://www.freespeechcoalition.com/, not in violation of NSFW principles based upon images, not textual words which are found throughout Wikipedia itself.

    • Mate, there's breasts in the "Scarlett O'Hara" ads, not to mention a lot of extremely suggestive imagery in the other ads. Not to mention that I'm fairly sure that most employers wouldn't see visiting blogs on the subject of pornography and the adult industry as being suitable company time behaviour. I'm not suggesting that the article YNOT News has any unsuitable imagery on it, though. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC).

    • Comment The sources added do not appear to be about YNOT News. In fact, I cannot find YNOT News even mentioned at the New York Times blog source or the Inquirer source that you added, though I'm open to the possibility that there's a brief mention that I didn't see. What's needed is articles which have YNOT News as their main subject, and which show how this organization is important, as you may recall my telling you when we were discussing the deletion of Peter Zed, back when your name was User:Sevencraft. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Self-promotional, non-notable, believe sockpuppetry involved.Bevinbell (talk) 18:44, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable, self-promotion, deceptive sourcing. --JaGa^talk 22:12, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
• Exterminate Non-notable, advertising, no multiple references to reliable sources. A very amatourish website. avn and xbiz?- reliable, well known, notable, quality publications. This site?- totally irrelevant. Vast COI concerns. If anyone reads the article about wikipedia in YNOT it will be obvious that this organization is an enemy of wikipedia, wikiProject pornography, and they have now made an enemy of me. Essentially the article says it is YNOTs goal to encourage vast numbers of non-notable porn sites to create articles on wiki, as free advertising. Destroy this heinous beast; and while your at it destroy the ghastly 'Adult Industry' template that seems to have been created by the same genious. Finally to LaserVaZer; if you are going to leave messages on peoples talk pages asking for 'help' in an AfD debate, the chances of help being forthcoming will be greater if the article in question isnt utterly non-notable, promotional bullshit.
