Keep. AVN, a green-level RS at RSP, covered him in this article where they wrote the subject had raised over $500,000 for LGBT charities , and then an additional $100k for NYC LGBT nonprofits by 2009. They also wrote about when Clark was the subject of a spotlight series honoring him for his work in the gay adult industry (here). Edge Media Network called him "once a big name in the industry" and said he won a Grabby Award for Performer of the Year Award with Cole Tucker along with "a host of other awards" (here). Other awards have included awards from the Gay/Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, United for the Ride, and New York's Imperial Court (here). The latter source from Windy City Times also said by 2014, Clark had raised "millions" for LGBT charities. His views were included in Shira Tarrant's book New Views on Pornography (here). In his book Award-Winning Men: Up Close and Personal with Gay Honorees, Ed Karvoski covers Clark in a three-page biography (here). He covered an issue of The Advocate (here). The Advocate also called him an "adult video luminary" and Out called him a "porn veteran" (snippets here). --Kbabej (talk) 08:30, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
