Porn "stars" need to go
Porn "stars" shouldnt be on this site. They are not in the same category as real actors and actresses. They need to be removed. I see these people coming up in the birthday lists like its not a big deal. I'm sure kids use this site in addition to adults. They dont need to be exposed to this. I'm sure there are other people out there who think they dont belong either. They just do not belong.

IMDb records all films/videos that have been made available to public without regard to quality. The only way to remove the porn stars would be to remove all the porn films, and IMDb is not going to do this.
As to children being able to see the titles of films and names of porn actors on this site, they can see some of them in newspapers and other public places. Moreover, this is an international data base and some cultures have a much less restrictive policy toward pornography. Whose policies should be used?
You may feel that porn actors "are not in the same category as real actors", but I think you could say the same thing about the reality program 'stars' and also about many of the people interviewed in various documentaries, yet they are also listed.
Finally a number of the stars have appeared in non-porn films, in some cases an actress has appeared in only one hard-core film but several regular movies, in others a porn star has appeared in only one regular movie, and in yet others they have appeared in many of each type. How do you handle them? Also, there are many news programs and documentaries about the business, and the actors are interviewed for them. This means they would be recorded for these appearances, even if the porn films were removed. Should these programs be removed as well?
Once you start censoring data, you open a real can of worms, as the various items do not exist totally separately from all others; they tend to be heavily interconnected.
