[edit] Sureños

Sureños (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Unsourced gang article. Lacks notability above any other street gang in the world. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 16:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep I think it's too harsh to ask for a deletion. The article has merit, and the subject appears notable. I'd recommend the insertion of a tag to ask for sources first. Bardcom (talk) 16:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I think its a notable article, but needs to be sourced and cleaned up, not deleted. Dan the Man1983 (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No notability whatsoever; I don't see any coverage in reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: Seems to me to be a fairly well documented gang. [1] and [2]. Article certainly could use a lot of work. —Noah 01:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
    Merge: After looking around more it seems that this is probably redundant to the Mexican Mafia article. "The Mexican Mafia is also known as EME or Soreños." [3] —Noah 01:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep after looking at source for pdf. Those who read the site will see subject gang likely would laugh loudly that someone called "BusterD" would be a supporter of including their gang pagespace in the pedia. BusterD (talk) 01:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
    Merge or Redirect to Mexican Mafia per Noah. I missed that too. BusterD (talk) 01:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • KEEP. Why not? contribsSTYROFOAM☭1994TALK 02:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete No notability. NPOV in practice, if not by definition, impossible. No reliable sources can be found. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.70.106.141 (talk) 06:09, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Notable street gang. --Flesh-n-Bone 15:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Sureños are notable enough that films such as "American Me" are based on them. More importantly, there are a number of sources that can be found on them, the article simply needs references. But Sureños aren't completely synonymous with the Mexican Mafia, though, which is why the two articles should not be merged. 74.228.158.68 (talk) 03:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to Mexican Mafia as per Noah. Notable? Maybe, but certainly not notable enough for two articles. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep There appear to be sufficient reliable sources, based on my perusal of Google News results for this term. JavaTenor (talk) 17:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable above and beyond any other street gang.Helixweb (talk) 09:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
