Over the last week (and for the foreseeable future), I've been devoting a lot of energy to ridding Wikipedia of even a small portion of its enormous over-coverage of topics related to the adult entertainment, ahem, "industry." Earlier today, my efforts yielded their first fruit. I have succeeded in securing the Deletion of two decidedly non-notable adult entertainment performers. Hopefully, I will soon be able to report additional victories in this regard. In the meantime, here are my first two scalps:

For great justice!

Seriously, the only bigger waste of time I can think of other than being a Wikipedia editor is being a Wikipedia deletionist.

Hardly true! One could waste one's time by constructing 10,000:1 enlarged scale models of one's own belly-button lint, using the same stuff as one's construction material. That would, I believe, constitute a giganormous waste of time, especially supposing one took oneself seriously while doing so.

I am going to get those articles dug up and put on Simple Wikipedia - the kids there need to learn about the birds and the bees, and I'm the horse who can teach that subject! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

As I recall, I'm not sure those those two would have particularly qualified under that criterion. I am however, about to Nominate for Deletion a certain "Aja" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aja_(pornographic_actress), whom I do think is rather easy on the eye (despite my long-standing preference for brunettes & redheads). Check out the top-left corner of her pic, Equinus. You just might have a shot with her!

And here I thought Aja was the guitar virtuoso who played with Jem, Kimber and Shana. Childhood memories are ruined.

This is nothing.

I don't see any discussion about this template.
Read the talk page. A classic Commons atrocity.

I'd like to think this reply is intended as humour, but in the dreary event it is intended sincerely, I can assure you that I do not hate women. On the contrary, my hostility to pornography (and more precisely, the gross over-representation at Wikipedia, of what is an innately trivial topic) stems in no small part from my admiration for women in general (as opposed to the very small and rather pitiful subset of womankind that chooses to engage in acts of prostitution in front of a film crew).

It is true that I have, as yet, only targeted articles about female porn stars for deletion, but that is simply a tactical move on my part, owing to the fact that A) pornographic bio articles are grouped by sex, so its easier to focus on one sex or the other, and B) if I'd started off going after male porn stars, it is very likely I would incur the wrath of the rather well-represented & activist gay community at Wikipedia, and simply put, activist homosexuals are a more formidable and well-organized opposition than the champions of female porn star articles ie., nerds who can't get laid.

Hey, quiet on the set! We're trying to shoot a movie here, okay? Now, Xeno, in this scene you come home and find Durova lying on the leopard skin sheets covering the heart-shaped bed - she is in her red silk lingerie. You look upwards and say your lines: "Praise be to St. Theresa for hearing my prayers!" Ready everyone? Lights, camera... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

Kevin I would really like to shake your hand for this. I made a speciality of targeting 'special interest' groups in the pedophile and 'animal friends' parts of Wikipedia, but never dared take on anything like this.

I would love to support you but as you see it is 'block season' for me, though I am out in a month's time hopefully.

Good luck. I checked out your user page and we should be friends. Perhaps I'm not so far on the right as you claim to be but who cares, you are doing good things. Porn is just sick humiliation and victimisation of women. And like you I am a concerned parent of children who are at a vulnerable age.

Well done sir.

Good. I didn't know if you liked the kind with horsey heads and woman bodies, or the reverse. Something to be said for both, I suppose.

These are also women. It's not necessary to split woman kind into madonnas or whores.

There are far worse things in this world than sex and the filming of sex. In fact, pretty much all of the bad things are worse. Possibly the worst thing about filming sex for money is the scorn it generates from a subset of people who now feel entitled to look down on you because you have filmed sex for money. Sheesh.

Could you save it for people who drop bombs on other counties for no good reason, or make loans they know can't be repaid, and sell them like hot potatoes to banks who will collect them until they require the taxpayer to bail them out?

Let me paraphase Jefferson, who was talking atheists and polytheists, but can be used for other contexts. Porn stars and prostitutes do me no injury-- they neither break my leg nor pick my pocket. I wish I could say the same about my financial institutions and my government.

I once tried prodding (not a euphemism) a lot of Penthouse Pet of the Month BLP's. Apparently just being a Pet of the month makes you notable, at least according to Wikiproject:Pornlovers, or whatever it's called. I was accused of disruption if memory serves. The moral of the story is "Don't mess with a wikipediots right to fill the 'pedia with porno stubs" Human knowledge, sum of, African children, blah, blah, blah.
