Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pre channel
I've put about 5 hours into tracking down references so far and found a number that seem to back up the majority of the article. I've gone ahead and removed two section from the article that could not be referenced that also clearly failed  and  (which were ironically the two sections that seem to be attracting the most vandalism). One easy to find reference is the book "Software Piracy Exposed", isbn 1932266984, which is also cited in a number of other Warez articles. Earlier revisions of this article actually seem to be more encyclopedic and seem to fit in better with the rest of the :Category:Warez|Warez category and articles so it might be better to rewrite the article rather than delete it outright. It may also be a worth considering merging this article and a number of other stub articles in the :Category:Warez|Warez category with the Warez article and provide categorized redirects for them. I think Pre channel could easily fit into a subsection under the ''Distribution of warez'' section in Warez. I'd be happy to work on this but I don't I see a reason to put much into Pre channel until after the AfD issue has been decided. If this wasn't currently an AfD and the issue had been raised on the talk page instead I'd probably have already merged and redirected this article
