Mule (smuggling)

Just a dictionary definition and an unimportant reference to some film. - Centrx 16:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and tag for expansion--there's an encyclopedia article to be had here. I think the topic is worthy, and this is an OK (if stubariffic) start. Meelar (talk) 16:45, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - this has potential to grow, there is plenty to say about Mules that probably doesn't belong in the smuggling article. If it is really paining people, redirecting until content outgrows smuggling would be fine. Trollderella 16:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Are mules widely used to smuggle items other than drugs given that we already have a drug mule article. Capitalistroadster 16:52, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Drug mule redirects here. Trollderella 16:58, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The topic deserves an entry in an encyclopedia. BorgQueen 17:16, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Revert drug mule and Merge this to that, redirect mule (smuggling) to drug mule. Alf 17:26, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That would be fine, if drugs were the only things that mules smuggled. I don't think they are, so the best thing to do is have drug mule point to the more general mule (smuggling) article. Of course, if there are any places where mules are contraband, we can always start a mule smuggling page too! Trollderella 17:29, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You're prob right there, I was thinking from a "I'd probably type.. to find it", so redirect the other way works anyhoo. Alf 18:09, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Improper use of disambiguation. Move this to drug mule and then redirect there. - Mgm|^(talk) 18:21, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
STRONG KEEP muling is an interesting topic deserving of an entry, but not at Drug mule as more than drugs can and have been smuggled in this way. EdwinHJ | Talk 20:15, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
In that case a move to Mule smuggling should work. Current title is not in line with naming conventions. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:19, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

In light of the poverty of some of the countries that sponsor this kind of smuggling; these drug-mules often have no idea that what they are doing is bad. I would suspect that many of them are stupid pimps or whores who are desperate for more drugs
