Really a Useful Note: Juggalo

The page you just linked is precisely about the generalization of always making bikers gang members.

Also, The Hell's Angels actually ARE scumbags that have been involved in everything from drug trafficking to the illegal slave trade. Thus the problem with stereotyping all bikers as being like them.

On topic I'm all for making it a useful note because I think notable, highly organized fandoms (of which Juggalos are one) are something worth using useful notes for.

I'm against it because the Juggalo fandom doesn't have much effect on creating fiction, which makes them outside the scope of this wiki.

Fandom is a big part of media, and this wiki is about analyzing media.

It makes sense to have Useful Notes pages on prominent, organized fandoms to give people a quick primer.

So we're applying a notability rule to fandoms now? Where do I find the rules that tell me which fandoms need a Useful Notes page and which aren't allowed?

There are some fandoms who are media-worthy enough that a UN page would be helpful...I don't even remotely consider Juggalos to be so.

I'd say big enough the FBI mistook them for a gang counts as notable.

Looking at the crowner, both are in the green, neither in consensus range.

I'll let this go a few more days. If it remains in this state, we may have to declare no action. Unless if someone can think of another option?

This is sticking at deadlocked with nothing reaching the required 2:1 approval, we may have to call this one at "no action as of this time".
