Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to pornography. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
This project covers various topics related to the subject of pornography, such as:
The parents of this WikiProject are Wikipedia:WikiProject Sexology and sexuality, Wikipedia:WikiProject Film, and WikiProject Biography. Gay and lesbian pornography falls under the coverage of this project, a topic which overlaps with WikiProject LGBT studies. Portal:Erotica and pornography is associated with this project.

Images available from Lukeisback.com can be used in a pornographic performer's article. Here are some tools to help out:
Right now, there are a slew of micro-stubs that do not meet the notability requirements laid down in Notability for biographies. Therefore, all users are encouraged to improve stubs on Playboy models (including the "Cyber Models"). As of right now, all Playboy Cyber Girls are nearly non-notable for inclusion in Wikipedia - the most obvious of these are the "Models of the Week". Obviously, use common sense in determining which articles should be tagged for proposed deletion; for instance, the "Cyber Girls of the Year" might not qualify for a PROD. However, there may be an issue with the Playboy "Cyber Girls of the Month".
Important performers: Seka, Annie Sprinkle, Marilyn Chambers, Candida Royalle, Chris Cassidy (porn actor), Richard Pacheco, Jamie Gillis, Marlene Willoughby, Juliet Anderson, Viper (actress) (this is the first of several pornographic actresses using the name Viper), R. Bolla, Bobby Astyr, Samantha Fox (pornographic actress), Veronica Hart, Joey Silvera, Teresa Orlowski, Henri Pachard (director), Lasse Braun (director), Brigitte Maier, Alex de Renzy (director), Sascha Alexander (director), John Leslie, Eric Edwards (pornographic actor), Uschi Digard, Kascha Papillon, Andrea True, Arcadia Lake (pornographic actress), Bambi Woods, Billy Dee, Candy Samples, Carol Connors (pornographic actress), Carter Stevens, Casey Donovan (actor), Erica Boyer, Dorothy LeMay, Desiree West, Darby Lloyd Rains, Colleen Brennan, Kevin James (pornographic actor), Kandi Barbour, Johnny Keyes, Leslie Bovee, Linda Wong (pornographic actress), Long Jeanne Silver, Loni Sanders, Louise Frevert, Lysa Thatcher, Mai Lin, Michael Morrison (pornography), Mike Horner (pornographic actor), Randy West (pornographic actor), Rebecca Brooke, Rene Bond, Sharon Kane, Vanessa del Rio, Tom Byron, Robin Byrd, Christy Canyon, Misty Dawn, Kitten Natividad, Sharon Mitchell, Nina Hartley, Amber Lynn, Georgina Spelvin, Rhonda Jo Petty, Serena (pornographic actress), Gloria Leonard, Kelly Nichols, and Jessie St. James.
It is Wikipedia policy to prefer free use, copyleft photographs over fair use due to the fact that copylefted photos can be used on other Wikipedia projects. As a result, the following section illustrates how to procure photographs that can be used in Wikipedia's articles.
The following sources have permitted usage of their photos on Wikipedia, under a copyleft license:
Please upload any images that are Creative Commons on the Wikimedia Commons. By doing so you allow these images to be used on other language editions of Wikipedia.
The following may be used in a manner consistent with the non-free content guidelines on Wikipedia.
For additional tags not listed here, refer to Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.
If the birth name of a performer is being added to an article, note that (per WP:BLP) we must ensure it is sourced from reliable sources, and it is equally clear what should happen if the source is not reliable:
This creates a problem with respect to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) as it is not considered reliable for biographical information. From the reliable source examples page:
The problem with the "biography" page on IMDb is that anyone can add information to it. As a consequence, it is entirely possible for someone to "vandalize" the IMDB page by adding a random name to the biography page, then turn around and use IMDb as a source for adding the name to Wikipedia.
Even when reliably sourced, editorial judgment must be exercised before deciding to add a pornographic performer's birth name to an article which also uses their stage name. Please review WP:BLPNAME as it relates to names that have been intentionally concealed because of a subject's occupation: " ... it is often preferable to omit it, especially when doing so does not result in a significant loss of context."
A 2019 article on Jezebel discusses this policy in particular and Wikipedia's use of real names of pornography-related performers in general. [5]
While it can be useful to have some indication what films a performer or filmmaker has worked on, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Any filmographies should be partial, not a complete listing of each and every film that person appeared in. Filmographies are to be limited to six films at most; any additional listings above that number must meet at least one of the following criteria:
Providing links to the appropriate IMDB, IAFD, AFDB, EGAFD, and/or BGAFD filmographies (in the infobox or under the "External links" section) should allow readers access to complete filmographies of performers and filmmakers without unnecessary cluttering of Wikipedia articles.
The best online sources of reliable information on pornography are Google Books, Google News, and Google Scholar.
Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Google UK sources:
Individual words and phrases can also be searched on Google books. Even if you think a particular topic is very obscure, WikiProject Pornography advises you to look it up on google books. You will probably be surprised at what obscure porn-related topics these resources cover - even Bukkake.
If you find a source on Google Scholar that you are unable to access without paying, contact User:Willy turner who will access it for you.
List of people (academics, researchers, and/or clinicians) who study pornography, have published about it, and/or have been interviewed regarding their views and knowledge of the subject.
The following sources can be helpful for finding information about erotic performers, though few are considered reliable sources:
Self-published sources, such as a performer's official website, can be reliable in some circumstances. Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons.
Do not use template substitution on any of these templates.
