Martin Street Posse
The article says these guys are "notorious", but I don't think they're notable. Most of their crimes seem to be pretty insignificant anyway. Delete as per band vanity pages.
 * "The "Posse" is infamous for petty street crime, larceny, small time drug sales," and posting vanity pages on Wikipedia. Unless a regular editor from Philadelphia can collaborate this information, it is not verifiable and therefore should be deleted. Ground Zero 15:54, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 05:35, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  Quale 08:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete -- unless somebody from Philadelphia can provide evidence of notability. - Longhair | Talk 09:40, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Unfortunately, like the Yale Street Gangsters article, I'm unable to verify this without more information despite the fact they may be a legitimate street gang. 209.213.71.78 15:23, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I have lived within 20 blocks of Martin street my whole life, I am currently about 6 blocks from there, and I can assure you, there is nothing notable here. Kids in various neighborhoods and around various blocks have been referring to themselves as the "[whatever] posse" since long before my highschool days. Philly is currently experiencing a strange crime wave, but kids from Martin street are not responsible for it, (Roxborough and Manayunk are actually among the least crime-ridden areas of the city). func (talk) 03:41, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
