Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XBIZ Award
XBIZ is an adult industry trade publication that's been "cited in the media for coverage of the rapidly evolving adult industry and has been published in CNN, Fox News, Newsweek, MSNBC, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Wired, ABC, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety among others." http://blog.mikandi.com/news/mikandi-news/mikandi-nominated-xbiz-mobile-company-of-the-year-2013 The XBIZ Awards basically are to the AVN Awards what the Golden Globes are to the Academy Award|Oscars. Are there some XBIZ Awards that are obviously minor in nature? Sure, but the same can be said of any award show (mainstream or adult orientated). One the key measures in evaluating whether or not a Wikipedia:PORNBIO#Pornographic_actors_and_models|porn article is notable is how many & what types of awards the subject has received in the past. Without a valid listing of industry trade awards, then a lot of porn-related Wikipedia articles would eventually be deleted. The idea that because "Wikipedia is so-far " that we should basically start censoring it now for some "greater purpose" is, IMHO, underhanded. Is this some kind of April Fools prank
