[edit] Pakistani gangs

Pakistani gangs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Complete original research, no reliable sources at all, Non-NPOV Soapboxing. Contested prod. Leuko 01:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Burn and spread the ashes over the Seven Seas. Major six-alarm NPOV violation. YechielMan 05:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge - the page certainly needs alot of work. I just added some references to news reports regarding Paki Pantherz. I agree the page is not acceptable in its current state, but the content is of some use and not original research, just badly referenced. Also the page title is very problematic. Maybe it should be merged to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_in_England#Modern_London_Street_Gangs Paki.tv 08:24, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wildly unreferenced original research; contains statements which may very well be libellous. BTLizard 12:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, well known subculture - if its POV just fix it, if its unreference tag or remove and if then there is nothing left THEN delete it.--Vintagekits 15:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete hopeless pile of POV OR. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not just original research but incorrect original research - the Paki Pantherz's membership is closer to a dozen than 5000 - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I've changed my view on this. I've found more references - all in national brpoadsheets and have removed some of the bits of the article that are unreferenced eg. membership numbers. Otherwise the article is ok, just needs a new name. The real problem is that the 'gangs in england' page needs alot of work. I will try and get round to it too. Paki.tv 01:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • keep and rewrite There are articles about gangs in other geographic places, so it is encyclopediac, but it needs a complete rewrite becasue of the lack of sources.--Sefringle 04:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: This article is merely a recreation of an article that was deleted a few months ago due to an AFD proposal just like this. Although there are external links at the bottom of the page, not one sentence in the article has a footnote to back up its verifiablity. Just in case the article stays I corrected some glaring problems (such as an inaccurate title that didn't specify that the topic is only about the UK). Spylab 13:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment:, I would lean towards keep if the article got better sources, was tidied up and renamed.--Vintagekits 15:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
