Puerto Rican Shits

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Possible hoax. Beyond the obvious derogatory title, there is no evidence of published works describing this street gang. Search engine test finds the Wikipedia entry, a single blog mention, and lots of news articles containing either random expletives or misspellings of "shirt" and "ship". Delete unless reliable sources are provided to establish verifiability. --Allen3 talk 14:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no sources cited, no reliable ones found. This may be an attack page. JohnCD (talk) 15:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Articles about street gangs need to be fairly carefully sourced, given that the subject attracts both fear-mongering and swagger.  This is not.  No opinion on whether this is a hoax or an attack page. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable sources, and all the reasons mentioned above.--E8 (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete reeks of hoax, no reliable sources. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's simple: The subject has no notability as established and verified by reliable sources. &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  16:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to the above concerns, any article about a criminal gang that states its origins going back to 1692 reeks of hoax. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 17:13, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of verifiability. For a second there, I thought this was what happens after eating a bunch of Puerto Rican food. MuZemike 17:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm thinking this is an attack page by looking at the title. Just has no reliable sources to prove this is real. Versus22 talk 23:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete This is quite obviously made up and as such should be deleted, I'm quite astonished no one noticed this before me. Polystyla (talk) 02:51, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
