The Warriors (gang)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article previously deleted via PROD in 2009, and recent PROD was declined. The article is entirely written "in-universe", spans several works of fiction in the franchise which already have articles, and is largely a plot summary of those articles. MSJapan (talk) 06:45, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete This article is just a bunch of in-universe plot summaries that already have better articles written about them at The Warriors (film) and List of The Warriors characters. There's nothing really here worth saving that isn't already covered elsewhere.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable per WP:NOTINHERITED. There appears to be a lot of WP:SYNTHESIS from the different works. It's really hard to google these terms, but I don't see any coverage specific to the gang discussed outside the main work. I don't think this warranted a WP:SPLIT, as much of the content is WP:GAMECRUFT unsuitable for the main articles either, so there is not much that can be merged, in fact, it seems everything is already more or less covered. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 18:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - transfer any information worth keeping into the articles on The Warriors (film) and List of The Warriors characters. Blueboar (talk) 12:45, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as previously deleted for failing the WP:GNG, due to a lack of references to verify notability as a new topic separate from the movie itself. Shooterwalker (talk) 22:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * keep -- This is a notable topic. This topic is the subject of scholarly work.
 * Note -- no one has made any attempt whatsoever to voice concerns on the talk page. Geo Swan (talk) 12:58, 15 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment re: the above - these sources are about the film, which has its own separate article. This article is not about the film, but rather a fictional history of the gang across the franchise.  Therefore these sources are not appropriate for this article. MSJapan (talk) 14:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Ditto above; a typical case of notability not being inherited, in this case -- the film (and others) are notable, but the gang itself is not, as it is not discussed on its own (at least we can't seem to find any sources). — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:27, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
