 * Keep. POV is not a reason to delete an article on a legit topic; it's a reason to fix it. -- BD2412 talk 02:22, 2005 Jun 5 (UTC)
 * This version as it stands is non-encyclopedic. I don't know a whole lot about this topic, but I'd suggest that we merge what's relevant into Barrio. --Idont Havaname 03:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 04:25, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I really wanted to say keep until I read The author would like to take a moment to note that this is an online article, and if you're receiving it as a student's paper, it is probably plaguerized via copy-paste. Please give your student an F. Delete  Vegaswikian 05:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. I put the clean-up and wikify tags because I thought the topic might be encyclopaedic if correctly developed. As it is now, the article amounts to POV and original research. If no one is willing to work on it, consider this vote a delete. Sarg 08:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research, and possible copy-paste copyvio. (I can't find the online source, however.) --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 23:17, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete This is completely an original research article, not to mention it is rather unencyclopedic. Any info that may have been contained in here that is keepable (that is ASSUMING it isnt a Copyright Violation) should be merged into the correct article on Street Gangs. -CunningLinguist 00:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Cleanup - Barrios gangs are a large phenomenon, this article deserves more quality.
 * Delete POV, original research --Smooth Henry 04:53, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
