In proposing this article for deletion, I wish to avoid presenting the view that I think all articles related to pornography should be removed from Wikipedia. Nothing could be further from my viewpoint, which is (as stated on the main page) the view that only notable members or the pornography industry are appropriate for inclusion; in effect, the same standard we use for members of any industry.
To that end, I think a brief, non-inclusive list of members of the pornography industry who are still living that I believe clearly and unequivocally meet standards for inclusion would help:
Max_Hardcore
John_Stagliano
Sasha_Grey
Joanna_Angel
Belladonna_(actress)
Jenna_Jameson
Rocco_Siffredi
I've tried to keep the list a roughly 50/50 division of men and women. We can debate individuals in the list, but more importantly these names tend to share some characteristics that point toward the appropriateness of their inclusion. Each has some combination of the following: extremely large circulation within their industry, owning their own distribution or production company, named in a highly publicized court case, influence in political and charitable organizations, name recognition outside of fans of their pornography, involved and/or responsible for sweeping changes to the pornography industry (among this group for example so-called gonzo production techniques and the use of tattooed female actresses), appearances, interviews and creation of "mainstream" media such as television shows,news and films and finally widely distributed reliable sources are available regarding these individuals and their accomplishments.
None of the points listed above should be viewed as conclusive attributes for an inclusion worthy subject in the pornography industry. However, when viewed together and in context they begin to paint a broad picture of the social impact a highly notable member of the pornography industry has.

- You're apparently trying to make up your own inclusion standards, which we really don't do here on Wikipedia. I understand that you are apparently a new Wikipedia user, but one of the most relevant Wikipedia inclusion standards to the article in question here is PORNBIO...everything else above is just your own opinion.
