[[LS Studio]] is an article about a porn studio which was closed down. It appears to be well-referenced, and only the most obtuse POV-pusher would manage to convince themselves after reading all the comments attached to those references that the cited stories might be about some other incident.
After looking at this article, I had no problem with the way it is written. But as some editors are rather persuasively arguing on the talk page, just about nothing in the article is verified or even verifiable -- for example, much of the article discussion on the content of the child porn produced would require a reader to obtain child pornography to verify. There are no third-party references in the article so whoever wrote that stuff into it could have been making it all up and there is no way for us to know.
This is a kind of weird verifiability case. We don't say "God exists" in Wikipedia because such a statement couldn't be verified. But the statements in [[LS Studio]] could be verified if someone got their hands on an FBI report on the organization or somesuch. Since no one has yet, nothing in the article is verifiable... so do we delete it?
