English travellers
Perhaps it has potential as a stub, but I don't think this vague, unlinked, one-sentence article will ever encompass anything that isn't in Irish Traveller. Could become a redirect, maybe. - Chatoyant 03:58, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and redirect, as above. Good solution.--DNicholls 06:49, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete ("very short article providing little or no context") since there's no evidence given that the group it refers to exists (as opposed to Irish Travellers in England and Roma). Pikey is a (dictionary-like) page explaining a derogatory term in common use for Irish travellers in England. Not an appropriate home for encyclopedia content about the group in question, or any group.Palmiro 18:56, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, I am deeply unconvinced that this terminology exists, and I'm English. It is impossible to Google (or anything else) for so, as it stands, is unverifiable. -Splash 22:48, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
