[edit] Crew change Guide

Crew change Guide (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

There is no claim to notability. Murderbike (talk) 03:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

  • delete no sources, totally unverifyalbe, and just plain odd. A series of dubious statements held together by typos. Pete.Hurd (talk) 03:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:V and does not appear to be notable whatsoever. Red Phoenix (Talk) 18:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • comment - I reverted some uncorrected vandalism and got the article back to a better condition. Please review again? I'd personally like to see this article stay, especially as it seems to document a type of book or zine that is a useful tool for a small underground movement.

  • Comment, "I like it" is not a reason for keeping, the information must be notable and verifiable. This subject is neither. Murderbike (talk) 00:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
comment - you didn't notice that I didn't vote or give a reason for keeping. In any case, the amount of egregious vandalism in this article's history - I guess in an attempt to keep its topic "secret" - makes me feel that this article is too much trouble to keep. So I'm keeping out of it. Though I'd personally like to see a good proper article on it, if it were possible. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 13:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
comment - also, a quick Google search shows that this is at least notable to the freight-hopping community, although no sources were found that could pass WP:RS. No mentions were found in Google Books. Thank me for finding proof for you? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 13:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment, No, because we don't need to find proof that it's not notable or verifiable, we need proof that it IS notable and verifiable. Murderbike (talk) 18:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - easily passes WP:V per Ghits: [1].. Not sure how notable the term may be. Rescue? Move? Merge? Bearian (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Added a ref from a RS. Suggest moving to Crew change guides, as the phenomena of guides is more notable than a particular guide. The absence of many published (print) resources about the guides is not surprising given the community that the guides serve. Pastordavid (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge a 1-sentence mention of this to Freighthopping. It's real but hardly rates an article of it's own; as a self-published underground book it fails notability criteria for books. KleenupKrew (talk) 22:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Also, Bearian's link shows 50 results, mostly primary sources and mirrors. PhilKnight (talk) 23:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
