Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT: A large portion of this article was a copyvio of a piece in The Newsgayper which to me seems clearly promotional.[1] (The site prominently displays a "get featured" banner for user-submitted self-promotion) The article has many other references, but none of them are in-depth, independent and reliable. They're namedrops in the society or gossip columns of gay newspapers, ads for his adult-entertainment parties, promotional industry news and press releases on porn websites, and other assorted unreliable sources. (Please note that the majority of these are NSFW.) I looked for additional sources and found only one profile in his local gay newspaper:[2].

Another person calling himself "Christian de Medici", similarly involved with gay nightclubs and promoting a prospective reality show, received news coverage in 2010-2013 for scamming, run-ins with the law, and an eventual manhunt by police--but these are clearly different people.

Delete Not enough coverage in independent reliable sources. As stated by nom, many of the sources listed are just incidental mentions of him. ABF992 (talk) 08:38, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
