Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/L&L Crip Gang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As far as I can see, all Google hits are Wikipedia related. Also, the following page lists _many_ (it scares me) LA "Crip Gangs", but not this particular one. Crips in LA County, Long Beach Crips. Even though I wouldn't oppose including a significant street gang in the encyclopedia, I see no reason to promote this one.

  • Delete. -- David Remahl 00:02, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. They're a street gang, so what? -- Cyrius| 00:09, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Neutral. I have no idea of how significant or not this particular gang may be, but I will say that the Internet may not be the greatest guide to this particular area. In general, its an area where our coverage is very poor. Even clearly historically significant gangs and quasi-gangs (e.g. the Savage Skulls and the Young Lords, both household words in New York thirty years ago) do not even have stubs. -- Jmabel 00:17, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
    • The "no original research" wikipedia rule applies...The information in the article is unverifiable. Still, a street gang Wikipedia:WikiProject is a great idea ((un)fortunately not in my field of expertise)! -- David Remahl 00:45, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • I hate the thought of having articles on street gangs unless they've done something notable. It's a scary proposition. Delete. RickK 04:32, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • I'm with you on that. Delete. - Lucky 6.9 07:06, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Both Crips and Bloods have articles; what is the point of adding nonimportant (except to their members and friends) subgangs? Denni 03:41, 2004 Jun 26 (UTC)
  • Why delete? OK, so they are a gang, but what is the justification for for getting rid of it? Because they're a street gang and don't justify an encyclopedia's time? The article is non-persuasive, non-incendiary (from what I could tell of such a stub) - Wikipedia is all about a growing body of information, why get rid of something that isn't factually incorrect (noone has produced evidence the page is incorrect) or trouble making??? Why should there be an article about a gang is they did something notable? Should we reward for a gang becoming notorious, ADD anyone?!
    • Hm. A sockpuppet (this is his first post) who doesn't even sign. A double non-starter. RickK 22:56, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)
