Supposed gang in a remote town of 2,000 people only mentioned in three profiles of the town (not the gang) a decade ago. No information about them apart from that they once existed and fought their rivals. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:29, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of coverage, but not really about the Evil Warriors individually. Should be enough to Merge into Wadeye, Northern Territory. Doctorhawkes (talk) 09:29, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- This would raise major issues of undue weight unless it were trimmed down to a couple of sentences about gang violence more generally. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:47, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Wadeye, Northern Territory. Agree due weight needs to be considered, but it did get significant coverage at the time. It is relevant to the social context and history of the town. The subject is not notable in its own right, essentially a single event, but is a possible search term.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

As an ex-Territorian, I think it is clear that there are probably similar groups in many NT towns. They are not notable. I guess a merge as suggested above should be considered, otherwise delete. --Bduke (talk) 08:05, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or redirect per Aoziwe. Deus et lex (talk) 10:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge not much material to merge to begin with, but possible. The current article on Wadeye does not mention gang violence at all. "In 2006, a violent feud between three gangs composed of entirely Aboriginals [correct me if I'm wrong on the ethnicity] forced much of the town's population to flee. The incident received nationwide attention." WIKINIGHTS _talk 04:25, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
