[edit] Prison gang

  • Keep and expand. The sociological and criminological implications of prison gangs is certainly a highly important and notable issue in modern society. See Aryan Brotherhood. --FCYTravis 19:54, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Well documented phenomena, connected to but distinct from street gangs. -- BDAbramson thimk 19:56, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. These gangs' influence on the average civilian is thankfully small but it is still of sociological import. –DeweyQ 20:00, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Either keep or merge into gang. Preferably keep, esp. if this can be expanded from its current ultrastub status. Meelar (talk) 20:02, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:59, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia already has some information about prison gangs (longer than this article) under the title STG (Security Threat Group). I recommend that the information from STG be merged into Prison gang given that "prison gang" is a more well-known term (although "STG" is used as well). --Metropolitan90 22:21, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's very bad dicdef-made-stub, but prison gangs are a huge topic, so there's much potential for growth. ---Isaac R 22:41, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Notable topic with rooms for expansion. Capitalistroadster 02:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this article and Merge and Redirect STG into it per Metropolitan90's suggestion. Law enforcement neologies deserve no more respect than any other. --Unfocused 03:33, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and merge STG as above. Topic is definitely notable - Skysmith 09:56, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
