[edit] Anarcho-skinheads

Anarcho-skinheads (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article was already deleted through the appropriate Wikipedia procedures and merely re-created using an old version of the article. Although anarchist skinheads do exist, the term anarcho-skinheads is not used, and they are not considered a distinct and separate category. There are no references, and all of the content was duplicated from the Skinhead, Punk-Skinhead, RASH, Redskin (subculture) and Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice articles.

  • Comment - If this is truely recreated material, then it would qualify for speedy deletion. When I removed the PROD notice due to the objection on the talk page, I looked for a previous AFD, but did not find one. (It could easily have been AFDed under a different name.) If you know where this was previously deleted and could show a link to it, particularly to a previous AFD, then this could potentially be speedied, saving the trouble of waiting out the AFD time. - TexasAndroid 15:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Found it at Anarcho-Skinhead. It was deleted by PROD back in December. Unfortuneately, PROD deletions set no precedence for recreation. PROD is for uncontroversial deletions only. A single protest, before or after deletion, and it's no longer uncontroversial. PRODed articles have no prohibition against recreation either, as recreation can be considered a protest against the deletion. Given all that, this will need to proceed through this AFD to the end if it is to establish that it really should not exist on the project. - TexasAndroid 16:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:ATT and possibly is original research. Or even a neologism. Or one of many policies it fails. Arkyan 16:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete No sources, fails WP:V. Overlap with SHARP and RASH articles suggests it's a neologism, Pete.Hurd 23:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and due rewrite It is a notable topic, but this version is horribly written.--Sefringle 04:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - In the year or so that I've known about this article (in its various forms), there has been no improvements at all, other than by deleting junk that didn't belong. The chances of someone rewriting it to meet encyclopedic standards is next to nil. The article should be deleted, and if people actually come along with references and can rewrite it properly, they can contact a Wikipedia administrator and state their case. And again, even though anarchist skinheads exist, neither they, nor others call them anarcho-skinheads, and they are not considered a distinct and separate subculture. The topic overlaps with other skinhead-related articles on Wikipedia. Spylab 10:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
