[edit] Bros (lifestyle)

I tagged this article as initially unreferenced and possible OR (among other problems), and the creator kept removing all the tags (even the unrelated ones) and putting in a single reference link to UrbanDictionary, despite my telling him that it was not really a reliable source. He then blanked the article and asked for its deletion. I can see it may be a valid subject for an article, but as yet I've been unable to come up with any sources for this slang (besides the better-known ones already in widespread usage) so am bringing it to AfD for wider discussion over whether this really is a known, verifiable subculture. ~Matticus TC 13:04, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete "Bros", of course, gets zillions of Google hits, being a major pop band as well as part of Warner Bros, Super Mario Bros, etc. But Bros +offroading produces nothing relevant in the first few pages. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless some good sources are found (which isn't totally out of the question on a topic like this, I could see some magazine writing a feature about it or something). Recury 13:53, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as Wikipedia is not for things made up on the trail one day. --Dhartung | Talk 15:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, and that's not even what bro means. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 19:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
