Talk:Barrow Gang

Comment
_ _ The accompanying article may not belong in the best refactoring of the Bonny & Clyde material. But it does fulfill two neglected needs:
 * 1) At least a Rdr at its title, Barrow Gang, and
 * 2) A straight-forward list of the members.
 * I see this article as a broader article about the whole Barrow gang. Although, a separate article about Bonny and Clyde is also valid on its own, because they are notable as a couple in their own right. Such an article should be seen more like a sub-article of this one. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

One better organization might be to incorporate the text into the lead section of Bonny and Clyde, and reduce Barrow Gang to a Rdr. _ _ Another approach would be to admit that refactoring most of it into two bios is worthwhile. They are not bound together (at least in ways that we have succeeded in stating encyclopedically) by much except presence at the same crime scenes, and their unjustified de-individualization in the public mind. In that case, Barrow Gang and Bonny and Clyde become an article and Rdr to it (i don't much care which is which), de-emphasizing the individual roles in favor of what the gang did. The truth is that the differentiation of roles is of little significance to the story of the group, but crucial to delineating the narrative of any one of the 4 principal gang members. --Jerzy•t 08:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I see it as the other way around. Bonny and Clyde are a notable couple on their own, yet are part of the Barrow Gang, too. Merging these articles results in an imbalance between two separately notable but closely related subjects. A summary of Bonny and Clyde should appear in the Barrow Gang and vice versa, but both should stand alone, too. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

The Barrow Gang ..re-invented..
Conceptual artists have formed a collective under the name The Barrow Gang. It is not known how many there are in the collective, but it is rumoured to involve such artists as James Fox, Hans Ulritch and even possibly, Banksy.

Believed to have started in around 2004, James Fox is most well known for fronting the London indie band The Moths!, who have since disbanded and were thought to have been one of The Barrow Gang's art projects. In fact, many of the song lyrics may elude to this fact, especially a song called 'This Life' where Bonnie and Clyde are blatantly name checked.

James Fox is now courting publishing houses for the rights to a book about the project, which will blow the lid on the story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phantomartists (talk • contribs) 13:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Talk pages are intend for improving articles, not discussing uncited and unverified rumors of celebrity art projects. PS: This article is about the Barrow Gang of the 1930s, not The Barrow Gang of the 2000s. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

The Barrow Gang become art..
Long overdue, a collective of artists thought to include James Fox and Hans Ulritch have taken on the moniker of the Barrow Gang and are using it to put out all forms of art.

Since 2004, they have been responsible for artworks in adverts and bill posters and even as a band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phantomartists (talk • contribs) 13:45, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Please do not return this content to the article. It is uncited, includes ambiguous wording, and does not assert relevance or notability. Something "inspired by Bonnie and Clyde's do it yourself philosophy" - whatever that is, that regards art and music that is in other way related to this couple, is not appropriate content. Furthermore, it appears mostly promotional in nature, rather than adding anything to the understanding of the actual subjects of this article. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The above content does not appear to be related to the subjects of the article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

I propose a timeline chart
and a link to the main B&C article and a better introductory paragraph. Would anyone like to do this? LaNaranja (talk) 11:26, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
