Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alec Powers (2nd nomination)
He meets the |ARTIST notability requirements, point 3 and in addition 4(c). PORNBIO has become a mantra for purging Wikipedia of gay porn actors regardless of the size of their contribution to the field or this fact being supported by reliable sources.

He became one of the earliest stars in the specialist genre of erotic wrestling. If a film actor in almost any other genre was credited with over 50 films, a number being award-winning, and with this level of reliable sourcing, there would be absolutely no question about the validity of a BLP
