Illegal taxicab operation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Mostly (but not 100%) Original Research. It is a non-encyclopedic topic anyway. Herzlicheboy (talk) 00:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm not seeing a reason to delete in the nomination.  Being mostly bad is not a reason per WP:IMPERFECT.  And "non-encyclopedic" is begging the question. Warden (talk) 08:53, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep "Gypsy cabs", illegal/unlicensed taxicabs and minicabs are a common topic of news reports and features. I think "unlicensed" is a better description than "illegal" but that's a separate issue. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:36, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per the reliable sources shown by Colapeninsula. Gscholar also shows about 200 hits for "unlicensed taxi", with some papers devoted to the topic. While the article needs cleanup of some essay-like prose, this is a surmountable problem, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A notable topic and surmountable problems in the article suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 00:29, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Colapeninsula - I see no reason to delete. →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  02:11, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - illegal cabs, unlicensed taxi... They go under a variety of names, and does get coverage as noted above. -- Whpq (talk) 21:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
