[edit] Maravilla

is this real? I'm just putting it here as a heads-up to see how real/relevant it is. Seems like someone's had fun with "-villa" and the Paste button to me...

• I'd say expand if they are a real and noteworthy gang, redirect if real but non-notable, delete if fiction/Urban Legend. Master Thief Garrett 12:08, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC) Delete, non-notable, accuracy debatable, and above all a copyvio. Master Thief Garrett 07:01, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• It's a copyvio. I've listed it on the Copyright problems page. It seems real, but the http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/ganglandexpress/page3.html page seems strange -- at first I thought it was advertising some movie or something. But it seems to be a real page discussing LA gangs. RickK 22:26, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • A search for "White Fence gang" does find results outside of the dodginess of a user homepage, so they do exist, but even so it could be a complicated fictional work or just plain inaccurate... also of note is that the guestbook signing is supposed to be "about your hood" and people have signed with fake gang details, reminding me of the Grand Theft Auto role-plays I saw on GameFAQs... so it could just be backup info for an RP setting...

• Delete, not notable, copyright violation. Megan1967 06:33, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
