6E Kurds

I was unable to verify any of this article at all. A gang that claims connections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe should surely attract at least 1 Google hit. It would seem to be another vanity page Kevin 05:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• delete, hoax. User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, almost certainly vanity page. I put up the cleanup-verify tag quite a while back, and nothing has been done about it. --Slashme 05:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity. However, to delete it because it has too few Google hits is unsound. It may be the case that this is the first mention of this topic on the internet; it could also be the case that Google has intentionally or otherwise removed it from its indices. It would be unwise for a collaborative and open project such as Wikipedia to rely on a soley commercial organisation (however 'nice' they appear) for its inclusion policies.Rob cowie 13:40, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
  • However, if there is no proof of their existence, then it can be deleted for lack of verifiability. User:Zoe|^(talk) 03:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I agree that the Google check is not totally sound, but we need to be able to verify the information somehow. The first place written information would occur is on the web, or in Usenet, and there is no info in either place. The Streetgangs.com forum also has no reference to 6E Kurds, and this is a much more authoritative source. Kevin 23:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete hoax and possible vanity.--MONGO 02:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Slashme. Stifle 00:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - hoax or vanity. Blackcats
• Delete unless the author produces some form of verification. A google test is not a be all end all, but it is suggestive and verification must be provided to keep this article. Cool3 00:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
