- Delete, likely porn-spam. Realkyhick 02:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep It's not spam, although it is porn. LFC is a significant and long time producer of ethnic gay porn located in NYC. Market is for those who want Latin men, thugs, newyorkricans, etc. There are about 35 videos listed on their website for sale. Review here which mentions it, although in embarrassingly little detail. Here's another article from GayYN. Two of their videos were nominated (didn't win) for a 2007 GayVN award. Here's an entry from Fleshbot. Google lists 87,900 hits, most listing Videos/DVDs for sale, granted. Fotofactory Press is publishing an erotic art book this fall featuring their models, here. This listing shows that a LFC video has reached #2 position in weekly rentals. The article has almost no references, and much appears to be original research, but thats reason to improve, not delete. — Becksguy 09:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Er, correct me if I'm wrong of course, but none of those look like reliable sources to me. Chick Bowen 00:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Taken individually I would agree with you that's it's not enough. It's all I could find, as I was really really tired. I don't like this stuff, but the company is notable within it's niche market. And I think we are generally too quick to delete when improvement would be a better option. I think the company is notable, any thing else can be fixed. — Becksguy 01:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Per WP:PORNBIO, a nomination for GayVN establishes notability, LFC had two of their videos nominated in 2007 for the Best Ethnic category, so that should be sufficient. — Becksguy 16:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Delete porn spam. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:PORNBIO. Please note that the article does need to be improved. — madman bum and angel 15:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Since this is a company, I think it should technically be judged under WP:CORP rather than WP:PORNBIO. On the subject of sources, the company is briefly/trivially mentioned in this book and there is apparently at least one Village Voice article dedicated to the company (see [1]).
