Porn performer who does not appear to meet WP:PORNBIO or WP:GNG. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:PORNBIO not satisfied. CycloneGU (talk) 22:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:GNG He's the subject of a chapter in a scholarly work, covering his place in gay porn history.
A San Francisco food periodical, GrubStreet reports that he's known as "...the first famous Asian top..." in an article about his unusual, and notable, dual career.
Another San Fransisco periodical, SF weekly, in a WP:NEWSBLOG story about his dual career reports:
If you're into gay porn, you may know Lee as the scrappy, inked-up Filipino American who banged through stereotypes to be the first famous Asian top. You may not know that after breaking up with his real-life partner, Lee moved to San Francisco from L.A. in July for a fresh start. As a chef.
I'll add that to the wikipedia article. David in DC (talk) 10:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It should be noted that the short Grubstreet piece is about the article in the SF Weekly and the "first famous..." quote is a quotation from that article. While the scholarly work goes some way to establishing notability, would Lee's career as a chef have been reported on if he were not a porn performer?

Weak keep - I'm on the fence but it seems like he might be notable to some. --Kumioko (talk) 11:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
