[edit] Juggalo

unecessary article that could be added to the Insane Clown Posse page Fyrre 02:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• CommentDoes that mean you are going to mark every single album and fan page that is in Wikipedia that juggalos have set up? Go ahead and look through ICP's page and note that they have seperate articles for everything. Those should be deleted. But juggalos have taken off and become more than just losers whole follow ICP. That is the only reason I think the article should stay. But be cleaned up --pahsons 15:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pahsons (talk • contribs) 15:37, 17 March 2006.

  It's a musical groups fanbase with zero social significance whatsoever add a blurb to the "ICP" page.Fyrre

• Comment This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 22:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Obnoxious as it may be, "juggalo" gets 911k Google hits, had recent mention inthe Patriot-Ledger based on a recent violence situation, and is a common descriptor for fans of the Insane Clown Posse. I'm sure someone with LexusNexus abilities could probably dig up more news articles based around the term. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 23:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- notable, if often disdained, quasihipster subculture. Haikupoet 04:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- Though strongly tied to the Insane Clown Posse, Juagglos have become a sub-culture that spans world wide and is not unknown. MJoe 08:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Murdeorus Joe (talk • contribs) 08:19, 18 March 2006.
• Delete — unencyclopædic subject that spawns an article that's a constant source of bickering and edit-warring. The only people editing it seem to be self-professed subjects of the article, so there's also a vanity aspect. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

  Comment There are many articles that contain bickering, but that doesn't make it a reason for its deletion. The article is edited by more then Juggalos, i.e. Pahsons, thus is why there is bickering as the subject of Juggalo is obviously controveral. Not to mention there is in fact a social impact from Juggalos as politicians and people have put blame upon Juggalos and their music to juvenile delinquency and other social problems. Also Juggalos span all the way from America to palces such as Europe and Australia, thus I feel it's international notability is reason for it to be worthy of encyclopedia entry. Even sub-cultures such as punk and goth have an article, which are music group breed as well. MJoe 04:31, 21 March 2006 (UTC) User:Murdeorus_Joe

• Keep -- I can only speak from experience: a few minutes ago, I read a bulletin on Myspace.com which mentioned 'juggalos'. Having completely forgotten what the word meant, I entered it into the Google toolbar, and a Wikipedia article popped up like a beacon among the Juggalo Tattoos and the Juggalo Championsh!t Wrestling. Why take away such an illusion of authority? LeboviciAB84 07:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
