List of Skinhead websites
Not an article, merely a collections of external links Ezeu 02:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Talk:List of Skinhead websites has some pertinent information. Uncle G 02:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Good intentions on the part of the author, but this is a list of links. That's dmoz's mission, not Wikipedia's. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge back into Skinhead. Good intentions, but articles are not lists of external links. If the sites need to be evaluated by a objective third party, just open an RFC for outside opinions. - Mgm|(talk) 10:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The link to the list back on Skinhead needs to be moved to the see also section.  Although a list of links would not normally be wanted, in this case the links would be of use to someone researching skinhead culture. --StuffOfInterest 13:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Anytime you see "list of ___ websites" it should set off alarms in your head. WP is not a directory of the internet, and if we let lists of websites survive that's what it'll soon become. Also if none of the website are notable, then why should we list them? --Bachrach44 16:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Lists of websites should be speedy deleted – the policy on this issue is unequivocal. Keeping this list could set a bad precedent. --Ezeu 16:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per policy established with "WP:NOT". &mdash; RJH 18:33, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as list of links is specifically disallowed. On the other hand, that's what ==External Links== is for, so I'm not sure why an edit war would happen on the main skinhead page, but not this one. The links needs to be moved back into the skinhead page: if the links are causing edit wars or other problems, we have plenty of existing mechanisms to handle such problems.

I already moved the links back to skinhead, somebody delete this article already. It was created by a well meaning nube unaware of our more complicated policies. Sam Spade 15:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep with POV stamps. Very notable list. Zordrac 01:51, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete random collection of racist web-sites.  Grue   09:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per MacGyverMagic. Stifle 21:33, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete most notable ones are probalby already on skinhead wiki Sethie 00:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I wouldn't mind having a list of skinhead websites if the websites themselves were noticable enough. Like List of webcomics is a list of bluelinks, which is absolutely fine, but a list of external links is not.  WP isn't a web directory. - Hahnchen 05:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
