Number of gangs edit
The source stated here for the number of gangs is verified, but I'm trying to understand why the LAPD only states 250. Does anyone know ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.194.217.33 (talk) 13:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
unreferenced edit
most of the gangs listed here are not referenced individually and there in no overall reference that might include them either. Therefore, by WP guidelines, all unreferenced entries should be removed and kept out of this list. Questions/comments? Hmains (talk) 16:26, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- comment: per policy WP:BURDEN if anyone chooses to remove content, it may not be restored without the inclusion of an inline citation. WP:OR any claims or analysis must also be directly supported by sources from third parties. WP:STRUCTURE that includes section headings. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Should be deleted edit
This crappy, horribly incomplete mix of historic Mafia, current street gangs, and motorcycle clubs is a disgrace and needs to be deleted.

- For starters, there is certainly no reasonable way this should be a disambiguation. A disamb page is for a topic whose title may refer to more than one subject. A good example is John Smith. Lots of people have that name, the disamb page offer options. I am removing the suggestion that this should be a disamb page.
- If you feel the article has specific problems that need to be addressed, please discuss them here and we can work through what the problems are and how to address them.
- If you feel that the topic is not notable, you may feel the page should be deleted. Things to consider first and the method are outlined at Wikipedia:Deletion policy. - SummerPhDv2.0 02:58, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
How is a historic dirt racing motorcycle club listed as a street gang ?? 82abnmedic (talk) 01:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Deleting gangs of the list edit
Why are the gangs l list being taken off the list, they are not notable from a worldwide perspective, but from a Los Angeles prespective, they are. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 23:49, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
