List of Detroit street gangs
listcruft and unsourced - if some of the more notable gangs' do, in fact, have a Detriot faction, that can simply be mentioned on their respective Wikipedia articles  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 17:13, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep, I think such a thing can be sourced, and a more-complete article on the subject could be of some use. But if it's to be kept, it needs to be sourced, and right now it is severely lacking in that respect. I'd prefer to give the article some time to mature before consigning it to the dumps so soon, but if improvements aren't quick in coming I wouldn't object to seeing it back here again.

 * Delete if references are not provided, and some kind of perspective is not provided. We should have an article on Street gangs in Detroit before we have a naked list like this.  Smerdis of Tlön 21:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think the list may help form an article like Street gangs in Detroit. I am maybe a little biased because of my personal familiarity with Detroit, but I think there are quite a number of gangs active (although the list is a little long and I suspect some of the names are BS) yet it can be very surpriisng how territorial they are. Plus when I go to a sporting event or something in Detroit, you see Cops wearing special "Gang Unit" vests. So I tried to clean the page up some, and hopefully it may actually prove to be a useful way to learn about these gangs. Although, like any article it should be adequately sourced with outside links, like th earticle i wrote on the Errol Flynns--Mikerussell 05:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
