[edit] The magnums
There are zero hits on google about this "gang" or its founder and the supporting articles provided by the author have no mention of it. There is no reason to believe this group even exists. RandomHumanoid(⇒) 23:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- May wish to examine/add Sword Boys to this AfD as well... 68.39.174.238 00:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

- Delete - possible hoax, certainly non-notable. I note the article claims they are often found guilty of "grand theft auto", which is not the name of any crime in WA (it is just called car theft). At least the "Sword Boys" were mentioned briefly in a panicky and overly credulous TV news story on Perth gangs. The Magnums, alas, were not. Euryalus 06:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete WP:CSD#A7. Where is the assertion of notability or the sources to back it up? -- Mattinbgn/ talk 08:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete; I cant find any sources. OTOH the Sword Boys have been a well known street gang in Perth since the mid 90s. i.e. as that name by police and any media. I'm about to trim that article down to the verifiable facts. John Vandenberg 09:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
