Gave a shot at improving this, this subject appears to only be covered in instruction manuals and WP:GAMEGUIDEs. No third party sources, no reception or impact. Fails WP:N and WP:V. For consensus on similar articles, look at:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of gangs in the Grand Theft Auto series (2nd nomination) (deleted 2010-06)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of gangs in the Grand Theft Auto 3 era (deleted 2010-06)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of gangs in The Warriors (deleted 2010-06)

... which all show a community consensus that these kinds of video WP:GAMEGUIDE articles are inappropriate unless there are sources about the real-world impact of these fictional gangs. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:01, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• delete per nom. No objection to transwiki'ing it somewhere where it might fit better, but it doesn't belong here. Jclemens (talk) 05:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per WP:GAMEGUIDE. Claritas § 15:26, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. We're not a game guide. Real-world lists like this should also be deleted, they're full of shit. JBsupreme (talk) ✄ ✄ ✄ 16:30, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Snow/Speedy Delete - The very definition of WP:GAMECRUFT, and has no notability. There's a snowball's chance anything like this could survive. --Teancum (talk) 21:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as this list topic list appears to have not been published anywhere else other than Wikipedia, as it does not have a verifiable definition and contravenes the prohibition on using Wikipedia to publish original research as illustrated by WP:MADEUP. If it has not be been published anywhere else, and there is no evidence that it is verifiable, let alone notable list topic, then there is no rationale for inclusion. To demonstrate that this topic was not created based on editor's own whim, a verifiable definition is needed to provide external validation.--Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 08:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - unsuitable on multiple levels, particularly WP:OR and WP:N. Marasmusine (talk) 08:01, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
