Untitled[edit]

This article should be retained for English-language Wikipedia readers. The term 'racaille' has appeared in English-language international news reports of events within France. Because of this, the term is of interest to an international readership which reads in English, but not French.

For article retention

I don't believe this article can be deleted on the grounds that wilipedia does not exist as a french/english dictionary. Defining the term is not a matter of translation but rather of importance as english readers for its comprehension. With the scandal incited by Nicolas Sarkozy in its increasing use it has begun to apppear in British press. I believe the term will be seen more commonly in the future. Often english articles retain some 'original language' words as embelishment and so it is essential that a modern, up-to-date point of reference exists such as wikipedia. There is also debate into whether racaille is the equivalent or not of the english slang chav. I think that this article is of modern cultural interest. --Moonlightmouse 19:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
