Roach clip (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

An unreferenced article which is the top hit on Google for "roach clip". Reads as part original research, part slang dictionary definition and part howto. This was tagged as unreferenced in December 2006 and still lacks any sources. Cruftbane 20:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. There's no question that this article needs improvement, but this is not the improvement drive. I don't think anyone questions the encyclopedic merit of the subject itself. RFerreira 18:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
