Non-notable club, fails, WP:ORG. Article is mostly a WP:COATRACK for a smattering of crimes by supposed members or ex-members. Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:52, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, largest outlaw motorcycle group in New Zealand, covered by the book Patched and the New Zealand encyclopedia Te Ara. I wouldn't object to the coatrack list of crimes in the history section being removed., but if they're kept I can add citations from Patched to some of them.-gadfium 22:18, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the sources I'm seeing, there might be a weak case for notability but it seems like a good candidate to just Merge into the parent article, Gangs_in_New_Zealand, which already has a section devoted to this club. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:43, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep while there is obvious scope for the article to be improved, this is one of the most significant gang organisations in NZ. Obviously notable, and 40 years of sources on it for whoever wants to use them.--IdiotSavant (talk) 11:07, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets GNG beyond any doubt. Surprising nomination. Schwede 66 18:36, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
