Stub-sorting

Latest comment: 18 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I question the appropriateness of {{crime-bio-stub}}. Has Melendez ever even been charged with a crime? I dropped a note to the person who added this, unless it's explained I intend to remove it. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:13, 1 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Agree - but then I don't really know the subject area. I think a "gang" stub would probably be better. Megapixie 10:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

[copied from User talk:Jmabel]

Street gangs are generally involved in crime, and while the little I've seen indicates that the Ghetto Brothers may have been the exception that proves the rule, there isn't a present a better stub. If the proposed {{gang-stub}} gets created, it would definitely be a better stub type than {{crime-bio-stub}} in this case, but it doesn't exist yet. Caerwine 14:43, 1 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
