[edit] Bra Boys

An article about a few people who consider themselves a part of a gang is not wiki materiel, if this was the case there would be another million articles relating to street thugs and their crimes - Ikfaldu Dod 13:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. If they're having a documentary made about them, they must be somewhat notable. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 15:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article was nominated for deletion back in December 2005 and the overwhelming consensus was keep. - Akamad 15:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Merge with Bra boys in that case - there are two articles at the moment. --Canley 02:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
      • There is only one article - Bra boys was moved to Bra Boys in June, so there is a redirect. JPD (talk) 09:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
        • Oops, my mistake: Keep then, per others. --Canley 13:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not as simple as "a few people who consider themselves a part of a gang", as explained by some at the previous discussion, although I agree that the article is not particularly compelling at the moment. JPD (talk) 16:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- JPD (talk) 16:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep -- notable, made mention in mainstream media. -- Longhair 21:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - recent Australian events justify this being kept. -- MojoTas 06:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This gang has made headlines all over Australia recently, and is probably Sydney (if not Australia's) only widely-recognised gang name. Their involvement in recent race raiots which received international news coverage should also be considered. I'd like to further submit that this is a biased/bad-faith nomination based on nominator's user page: "I don't believe in nuetrality/I enjoy adding things to articles about Lebo 'Australians' and terrorist pages. I have been blocked many times for doing this.". The recent race riots involving the Bra Boys were of strongly anti-'Lebo' sentiment. --Rankler 10:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep.　Actual and notable gang.--ZayZayEM 02:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Verifiable and notable gang. For the record, Google News Archives comes up with 117 hits see [1]. Capitalistroadster 03:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I am not wanting to delete this page because I am racist, I think its a pitiful article on a pitiful group of feeble hoodlums who watched too much 8 mile —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.175.127 (talk • contribs)

  • Keep. I arrived at this page looking for background information about them, so clearly it's a needed resource. sills bend 04:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
