Curb stomping

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced, possibly WP:NFT VivioFa teFan   (Talk, Sandbox) 01:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NEO, WP:OR, and, given the nature of the gesture, WP:NFT. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 01:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO and WP:DICT. As a comment, it is not WP:NFT. There seems to have been an AfD on this before that I cannot find; however, the old page can at least be seen through a google cache. The deleted version was far more encyclopedic than this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paiev (talk • contribs) 02:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, this rings a bell for me too. There's another example of this in The Sopranos.  People seem too keen to get rid of this - there isn't even an entry in Wiktionary.  So, I'll vote Keep as there's definitely something to be said about this.  Colonel Warden (talk) 15:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. Unsourced and poorly written.  Cirt (talk) 03:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC).
 *  Speedy Delete as original research and violation of WP:NEO. —  Wen li  (reply here) 04:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Please do not abuse the Criteria for speedy deletion. Uncle G (talk) 11:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ecch! No sources, only notable occurrence is in a Neo-Nazi centric movie featuring the talents of Edward Norton. J- ſtan TalkContribs 04:39, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Innovative murder techniques are still not necessarily notable because of two appearances in film and television; unclear how the article would develop. Category: Death moves could be cool, though. Chris Cunningham (talk) 13:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above. Unsourced and written by someone who seems almost enthusiastic about the subject material. And of what benefit to humankind could it possibly be for anyone to know about it? AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 17:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Unfortunately this is a true action/method of crime, try google search to find sources. -RiverHockey (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep This is hardly a WP:NFT, it is a well known expression. It's not a very strong instance of WP:OR either.  The primary reason for delete that I see would be WP:N.  I could easily be swayed to delete with a good argument. -Verdatum (talk) 20:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Since no examples of the crime are mentioned other than the memorable scene in American History X, this isn't much of an article. And after American History X, I think that people are less likely to honor a request to rest their face upon a curb.  I agree with Alasdair that the author seems to be enthusiastic about the subject.  Maybe someone can write about other "really cool" ways to kill another person.  Mandsford (talk) 01:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not much of an article and seriously does not express any real-world notability (only one actual crime is stated, with no citations or sources). JuJube (talk) 03:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO and WP:OR, but definitely not WP:NFT. — Nearly Headless Nick   {C}  12:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete there may be something to be said on it, but the article can be re-created when more sources are found to help us say it. DGG (talk) 19:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to American History X, the sole notable example of this maneuver. --Lockley (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep even though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Curbing basically I wanted to read about the topic and luckly there was something here.  Kelly Denham (talk) 21:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
