City Psychos
A hooligan firm that does not assert its importance, and it also fails WP:CORP. – Elisson • T • C • 11:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Note that City Psychos: From the Monte Carlo Mob to the Silver Cod Squad should be deleted as well if that is the outcome of this discussion. – Elisson • T • C • 23:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * it's a stub. You want to add to it, be my guest. If you don't want a link to it on your hooligan firm page, fine. There is nothing offensive, nor is there anything inappropriate in the City Psychos article, which is to say it doesn't violate any content standards. Wikipedia isn't just for you, you know.

 * I did not remove any link to it from any page. And sorry, but your other arguments do not make a difference. An article on myself would not contain anything offensive or appropriate either, and would not violate any "content standards", but I am not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, and neither are the City Psychos. – Elisson • T • C • 22:39, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. – Elisson • T • C • 11:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - So is that a firm or a gang of hooligans? If a firm, fails WP:CORP. Possibly CSD A1 and A7 as well. Cheers -- Imo  eng  12:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Read hooligan firm to understand what it is. It is a gang of hooligans, but they are what is commonly called a "firm". – Elisson • T • C • 12:15, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. MER-C 12:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per what Wikipedia is not (or in this case, "what Wikipedia doesn't want". Daniel.Bryant 12:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - no claim to notability given, apart from being mentioned in a hooligan memoir, which are about ten-a-penny in British bookshops. Qwghlm 15:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete The article is not about the gang specifically, but the book City Psychos, and as well (now anyway), a short list of other entries included in a genre. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of book stubs and/or articles on Wikipedia, and this article is included in that. And as for the relative worth of any book, that is all in the eyes of the reader. If you delete this article on the grounds that the book is not appealing to your particular taste, then Wikipedia should ban book entries on a whole being that there is virtually no book that appeals to all.

 * As the firm itself is not considered worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, considering the current four delete votes and my nomination, then why should a book on that firm be considered notable? – Elisson • T • C • 23:23, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. HornetMike 00:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * strong delete the book itself may be worthy of inclusion but a group of pathetic subhumans is not! Superlinus 12:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting. However, based on the logic of your argument, it would seem that any article on any hooligan firm -- and moreover the article Hooligan firm -- should be deleted. Ryecatcher773 02:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as it fails to assert notability and despite being several months old has a complete lack of citations. --ElKevbo 23:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't think this discussion should be around the notability of the "City Pshycos" firm itself - as Ryecatcher773 says, the article is about a piece of literature which he/she considers notable. The question is: is this book of note?  I notice that the City Psychos: From the Monte Carlo Mob to the Silver Cod Squad page contains the same content.
 * I propose that this page be edited to redirect to City Psychos: From the Monte Carlo Mob to the Silver Cod Squad page. Furthermore, the City Psychos: From the Monte Carlo Mob to the Silver Cod Squad page should, in turn, include a brief statement as to why it is a notable piece of literature. -- MLD · T · C · @: 15:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete non-notable at all. --Angelo 00:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
