Provided that reliable sources are available, I suggest that some or all these might usefully be added as a formal list within this article, preferably tabulated with dates and countries. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Fulk FitzWarin‎ was a nobleman trying to restore his feudal birth right so doesn't fit the definition and it's debated whether Robin hood actually existed. Joaquin Murrieta‎ might be included though — Preceding unsigned comment added by AverroesII (talk • contribs) 10:51, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

List of social bandits
The section Social bandits contains a list of social bandits. The trouble is that non of the names are sourced. Without a reliable source any entry in the list is a point of view of the editor who adds the name. Therefore I am removing them and they should not be put back unless a source is provided for an entry (see WP:PROVIT). -- PBS (talk) 21:20, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Lead
The lead doesn't say exactly what a social bandit is. I would WP:SOFIXIT, but I'm not really sure what to say...  Arctic   Night  13:45, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Removed Donald Trump
The very first line of the article describes a social bandit as a figure that is "supported by wider "oppressed" society as moral and acceptable." Donald Trump does not fit this description. He is also not a historic figure considering that he is currently alive. Thus does not belong in this article. 38.124.68.119 (talk) 01:22, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
