Review coming soon. Paparazzzi (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Lead

• I think you can expand more the lead section
  • Noted his cause of death in the lead.

Biography

• Ref 3 says Erik was also a go-go dancer
  • Added
• Isn't there any info about where Erik studied, information about his parents or something about his family?
  • I don't think so; the NYT obit seems to be the only real mainstream, reliable coverage of his life.
• You should include reviews and commentary about Erik's performances, for both of his porn and non-pornographic works
  • Not sure where I could find reviews of that nature, let alone reviews that would be deemed permissible as a reliable source.
• You may expand about Erik's nominations on numerous awards, because the section doesn's specify the awards' names
  • Sorry, I'm not sure what this note means. The award names are listed under "Award" in the table.
• "the 2007 film The Ivy League, for which he won two Grabby Awards." the source doesn't list Erik as a winner, not even as a nominee
  • It's there, you just have to click "Performers" in the "Category" menu.
• Include information about Erik's personal life
  • Can you be more specific?
• " Since 2008 he was in a committed, romantic relationship with a man named Anthony.[19]" Facebook isn't the most reliable source, find a better one. Also, you may include they broke up shortly before Erik's death, since ref 1 says: "...the breakup of his four year relationship earlier this year."
  • Removed, looks like this was added to the article randomly at some pint
• Can you find a better source to Erik's appearance on Dedication? Apparently, his scenes were edited out, but there are no other sources talking about the matter
  • Unfortunately, I could not find another source for this claim.

References

• Ref. 10 doesn't work
  • Repaired
• Steroids.info looks like a blog, find a better source
  • Removed
• Sore Butt Cheeks is a blog, remove it
  • Can you clarify what reference this is? I'm not seeing "Sore Butt Cheeks" in the references.
    • Morgan695 It's source number 15. It's listed as Anabolic steroids for some reason. Paparazzzi (talk) 04:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
      • Paparazzzi The entire passage seemed superfluous so I've removed it. Morgan695 (talk) 20:33, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
• Ref 63 doesn't show the nominees, only the winners
  • Added supporting reference

Verdict

• Putting this on hold. I think in general that there's a little more info that can be added, which can be done within seven days. Regards. Paparazzzi (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for taking up this GAR; I'll respond to your comments in the next few days. Morgan695 (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • @Paparazzzi: Initial comments above. I've responded the best I can, though reliable sources on pornographic performers tend to be limited. Morgan695 (talk) 21:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
    • I'm giving this a ✓ Pass. Regards, Paparazzzi (talk) 04:17, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
