[edit] El Salvador: Gangs

El Salvador: Gangs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This is a short article that has zero mainspace pages that link to it. While certainly a potentially encyclopedic topic, this article needs at the very least a rename and expansion. However, my suggestion is that we merge the verifiable parts of the page into El Salvador and delete it. I'm sending it here to get more opinions and attention.

  • Merge into El Salvador. The topic is encyclopedic, but it should be kept in the main article about El Salvador, perhaps under the "crime" heading. The verifiable parts of this will fit comfortably into the acceptable length for an article about a nation. If one is going to create a separate article on a topic like this, it should be something to the effect of Crime in El Salvador, per naming conventions and so that all of the crime in the nation will be covered. However, I must reiterate that this section of the main article is not yet lengthy enough to split. Srose (talk) 16:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete nothing to merge and topic should be covered in Mara Salvatrucha and 18th Street Gang articles.--Jersey Devil 17:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge to El Salvador which already has a section on Crime, where this would go nicely. Recury 17:27, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
