- Keep. Ford was the subject of the documentary film Naked Fame, which was reviewed by the Los Angeles Times and the New York Post (see film's page for reviews). After completing the documentary, The Advocate did a piece on him here. He also starred in the television show The Lair. His song "The Way You Love Me" was reviewed by Billboard here. His album Tug of War was reviewed by Billboard here. Instinct did a profile here. The Albuquerque Journal covered him performing here. His song "Stay" was reviewed by Instinct here, and the Gay Entertainment Directory here. His song "Unity" was covered by OutClique here. SFGN did a profile on him here. Metro Weekly covered him here. The list continues, but you get the idea. -- Kbabej ( talk) 09:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- Keep as per the coverage identified above that shows significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as Billboard, Albuquerque Journal, Metro Weekly, The Advocate and others so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 ( talk) 20:33, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
