The result was delete. Strong consensus to delete. The one keep voter who argued that there was a notable award here is encouraged to discuss this elsewhere; in the AfD there is no consensus to interpret the award as granting notability. Drmies (talk) 03:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails PORNBIO as the awards listed are not significant and well known. Sufficient RS coverage is not available to meet GNG. Previous AfD at the end of 2014 closed as no consensus, and I believe it's time revisit. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:20, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is actually no higher quality award in that industry. XRCO makes no promotion (other than AVN), makes only 5 nominations per category (other than AVN), is not influenced by porn producers but only voted by acknowledged porn journalists (who are XRCO members which is not so easy to reach), only lets attend porn insiders at the show (no promotion again) and gives nominated performers the unique possibility to control who has voted for whom in order to achieve the transparency which the early awards from the 70's and 80's never had. Although being in no way promotional and held quite closed from the media, the XRCO Awards are considered the 2nd highest honour a pornographic actor could get, only the AVN Awards (with much less quality) being higher.
  • They are pretty much like the opposite of the AVN Awards and have different categories, which are not as inflated as AVN's and therefore can be taken more serious in my opinion. That's why I think that an XRCO Award means a lot. They also often have different winners than AVN and XBIZ (which is a sign for their independence) and e. g. have more male categories, as well, which is again a sign of more respectability and seriousness. Sometimes the XRCO might give out a special honour like that Deep Throat Award or e. g. when the members voted to induct Asia Carrera into the Hall of Fame, although this is normally the "Historian's" decision. Given the quality of the XRCO Awards, they're generally a big sign of notability. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 01:22, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
