Re-organization

Since we seem to be getting an ever-longer list of gay porn stars, would it be useful to reorganize this article into two sections:

  • Gay porn stars with articles
  • Gay porn stars without articles?

I agree. There's not much use to a list that will always remain less than 50% "linked" to relevant and complete articles. Spheroide 10:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Vandalized?

Are the names given here realy pornstars? I can't help but think that this could probably be or has the most potential to be the most vandalized article ever. With people just add random names of their friends. --Asfalterisk 11:59, 6 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

  • There is a lot of potential for that. Feel free to google some of the names and delete where you feel it is appropriate. Of course, be sure to leave any names that have articles, unless the articles are clearly vandalism. Zeromacnoo 00:27, 7 November 2005 (UTC)Reply


Wikilinking all of the names

I really don't think it makes sense to wikilink all of the names on this list. It is very unlikely that articles will or even could be written about all of these people. Wikilinking indscriminately will take us back to where this list was several months ago: most of the links went to people who are not porn stars, which is pretty useless. People coming to this page are not doing so to read about college football players, US congressmen, British shopping centres (Brent Cross) or Canadian electoral districts (Brandon West), or for that matter, the refined iron product, Steel, or the meterological phenomenon, Storm. If you're going to write an article, by all mens, make the link, but please don't link just because someone some day might decide to take an interest and write an article. If they do, it is likely that the first or second thing they'll do is come here and make the link themselves. Thanks. Zeromacnoo 02:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Re-nomination for VfD?

It is my belief that this page should be re-nominated for VfD, due to the fact that this article is highly open to abuse, and is hardly informative. I suspect that most of the names listed are simply schoolkids who have had someone play a practical joke on them. --Intimidatedtalk 04:44, 7 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

  • I keep my eye on this page to prevent abuse, as the article history will show. I have verified a statistically significant sample of the existing entries and found only a low level of "practical jokes". List articles are well-established in Wikipedia, and are a useful tool for editors doing work in a particular area and for readers who want to review articles on a particular subject.
