Long-time unreferenced article that contains what looks like pure original research. Biker Biker (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not notable and not enough sources to justify it--Lerdthenerd wiki defender 16:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Distinction without a difference. There's no need to make up a new slang word, and write a new Wikipedia article, every time subculture X fancies vehicle Y and hairstyle Z. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Regardless of whether this Wikipedia article gets deleted, scooterboy is a real subculture. It's not just a made-up slang word, and it definitely isn't new.Spylab (talk) 03:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it is real, and if you care about it (your comment implies that you might) then feel free to rescue the article by adding supporting references. I would like nothing more than to see another quality motorcycle-related article on Wikipedia. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:28, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Note that offline references, like newspapers, books and magazines are fine as well, as long as they satisfy WP:RS Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:15, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
