• Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get articles from under-represented areas into DYK. This is nomination 3 in that effort.

• Article was newly created and nominated within the appropriate time frame. It is long enough and has citations throughout. Both hook facts are interesting and supported by citations. Article appears to be written neutrally. QPQ done. AGF on the German language source. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Article title

Apart from the subject's own statement of first operating in Pattaya, I'm not seeing any reliable-source coverage of significant activity in Thailand. I'd say some other disambiguator is needed. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

I have renamed the article to Diablos Motorcycle Club (founded 1999), per the above concerns. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:50, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

"bashing"

In the para on Australia, I see that the source said they'd "bashed" the Diablos member, but I'm not sure what that means and it sounds pretty informal. Would that mean hitting with a club or punching with a fist, or is the source simply being unclear? —valereee (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Like all Bandidos support clubs, the lettering on the patch is gold on red, contrasting the Bandidos' red on gold.

Should read, "Like all Bandidos support clubs, the lettering on the patch is gold on red, contrasting the Hell's Angels' red on white. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmmarkkk (talk • contribs) 00:35, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
