Porn biography AfD's
Hello, Redban. You recently participated in an AfD for Audrey Bitoni in which you attempted to persuade users that she is notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article. Her article was still deleted and I understand your frustration, but attempting to delete articles on other notable porn actresses who you're simply not familiar with is counterproductive. In Bitoni's AfD, you stated, "Either this page remains or you remove 99% of the pornstar biographies on Misplaced Pages", which seems to me like your only motivation for starting these AfD's. I'm sure you've noticed in Bitoni's AfD that Misplaced Pages has many anti-porn editor's, such as the one which said "We shouldn't be hosting articles about living people, especially when they are claimed to be involved in activities that many people find distasteful". Now, you're not angering the anti-porn editor's who changed the WP:PORNBIO guideline as an excuse to delete several notable porn star's articles (including Bitoni's) by asking that we delete even more, since that is actually what they want to do to Misplaced Pages, eliminate as many porn biographies as possible. Who you're hurting here is the pro-porn/neutral editors (many of which are probably on your side) who have contributed to these articles, spending several hours on them by both searching for sources and writing content. I also disagree with the deletion of Audrey Bitoni's article and several others as well, and that is why I would like to prevent even more deletions of notable porn stars. You're new to Misplaced Pages and I'm sure you think it's preposterous that Bitoni no longer has an article and that Misplaced Pages's PORNBIO guideline isn't more inclusive, but many anti-porn users are still not satisfied with the amount of porn stars passing PORNBIO and are looking for an incentive to make it even stricter. Most of the AfD's you started are for porn stars who do pass PORNBIO. Did you even read the PORNBIO guideline before starting these AfD's? Rebecca1990 (talk) 08:29, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:57, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Warning
Do not disrupt Misplaced Pages to illustrate a point. Stop it, now, otherwise you are in for very tough times. This is not a menace, take it as a friendly advice. We are here to build an encyclopedia, not to play WIKIPEDIA:THE GAME. --Cavarrone 10:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- I've closed the two AfD's that you created as a speedy keep. While your points are noted, these seemed to be retaliatory and disruptive. Please read WP:POINT, WP:BEFORE, and WP:DELETE before nominating another article for deletion. Dusti 18:46, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
