Non encyclopedic -essentially an expanded (and inaccurate) dictionary definition. Self-contradictory, with a not particularly separately notable subject. (Oh, and misspelled.....) Anmccaff (talk) 18:00, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete – Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking and creative bending of history by editor(s) of this page: By the 1980s, the 'Liverpool look' (it was rarely called scally back then) went overground… Seriously? And even if it's a legitimate term today, WP:TOOSOON to get an article beyond dicdef. The fad may be gone already. Or revert to, which was at least entertaining: Scally is a slang term, usually used in Merseyside, to describe Jobless Yobs, who have little or no education, and have committed some type of crime. The typical Scally dresses in Tracksuit bottoms, wears a certain type of trainer or boot, and wears a baseball cap. The term can refer to any type of lowlife, and can include gang members in other parts of Britain. […] Other terms for Scallies are Chavs, Kappa Slappers, Neds, Townies, Kevs, Charvers, Steeks, Spides, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs, Scallies, Hood Rats. There is an entire website dedicated to these maggots of society (chavscum website) — JFG talk 03:01, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
