- Delete. Sounds like an interesting guy (as gay porn actors go), but clearly fails WP:PORNBIO. WP is not a memorial site. --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:25, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The ongoing discussion indicates that many editors believe PORNBIO sets the notability bar too low. This isn't notable on GNG grounds, obviously. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 20:51, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Tendentially keep. I must honestly admit that I don't know much the mechanism of adult industry (either straight or gay) and its awards, though I suppose that the latter are to reward a notable performance as well as Academy Awards do for mainstream movies. But here is stated that the person mentioned in the article has been recipient of a major award for his category. If winning a movie award is a sign of distinction for an actor's activity I think that the article shouldn't be deleted. -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 00:31, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Borderline keep - the award source doesn't provide sufficient material to establish notability, however a (not work friendly) search on Google does throw up some coverage in gay magazines on his death. Some of this coverage appears to be a reprint of a press release by his film company, and coverage doesn't appear to break out of the gay community, however sources such as Bay Area Reporter are regarded as notable so there is just enough to keep this.
