[edit] Philadelphia transplant

Entirely original research without citations; borderline attack page with little to no context. - jredmond 19:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Seems entirely biased and barring any significant citations, original research. Wickethewok 19:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per failure to meet policies outlined at WP:V & WP:NOR, as well as WP:NEO guideline.--Isotope23 19:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:V and WP:NOR unless good verifiable sources are supplied prior to end of AfD comment period. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• The author has used opinion points and shows a bias in analysis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.126.124.110 (talk • contribs) .
• Keep. ask anyone who's been to Fishtown, or around philly. I have. these kids are everywhere. Wikipedia:I'm on the ground. are there any other better-written articles on vagabonds in general or philly transitory peoples at all? if so, then there should be a Merge.

• Oh for the love of God... strong delete this original research. GassyGuy 21:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as OR. -Big Smooth 22:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Heavily burdened with original research and lacks any valid citations.--Auger Martel 07:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Anyone who lives in Philadelphia knows of this 'epidemic' I advise anyone who thinks this is OR to actually visit philadelphia, you'll see. You'll be sorry if this gets deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.250.181 (talk • contribs)
• Reluctantly Delete While I find the article humorous and, for the most part, true to form, there really is no research. I enjoy a good laugh, but we do have to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.227.185 (talk • contribs)

note: AfD tag was removed from the article for a couple hours- voting time should be extended a little- even tho it's not looking good for "keepers". CrackityKzz 02:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep this damn article! This is a true issue, this is cutting edge stuff! WHo has been to Philly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.250.181 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 21 June 2006
  • Note, this is the second "vote" by this user. The user also attempted to change comments by other users to keep. --Ezeu 10:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete, fails WP:NOR and WP:NEO. Not a single reference given by those who want it kept despite this AFD being here for five days. The only argument is that one must visit philadelphia to verify this, and that reveals how obscure a phenomenon this is. --Ezeu 10:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete,Being a life-long resident of the city, there is a true phenomenon in Philadelphia of the "Hipster",but this article is in no way a helpful reference tool and is merely a derogetory slur.Tony Blinx 15:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Essay (or a biased rant?), WP:V and WP:NOR. i'm a resident, but you do not need to be to see that it is just a biased generalization of a perceived subculture. it may make a fine blog entry, but not here please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnpaul191 (talk • contribs)
• Delete. It smacks of original research and is not written from a neutral point of view. I don't think this can be saved. --Elkman 19:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

note to those concerned this article is all attack, no fact: I have done some clean-up on this article. perhaps you all can see that it is saveable, tho the author did a lot of notice-removing. 68.84.208.199 19:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC) oops. CrackityKzz 19:28, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
