OR?[edit]

This all reads like a lot of WP:OR to me. I don't think there really is a defined 'genre' of film named "Hood film", but whatever, I guess people just have to classify everything. -- œ ^™ 15:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.77.6.4 (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this doesn't seem like a genre that exists outside of wikipedia, which directly violates WP:OR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.69.62.173 (talk) 00:14, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search of this term in Google Books shows this, for starters. Even if some of the content in the article is original research, the topic most definitely is not. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 01:26, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here are books with entire chapters about the genre: 1, 2, and 3. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 01:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of hood films[edit]

The entire section on hood films has been tagged as unreferenced for two years. No references have been forthcoming, so I have removed the lot. Can anyone who wants to reinstate the list please provide references where reliable sources have described the films as hood films. Thank you. Mark Marathon (talk) 00:29, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I put the list back Daniel xci (talk) 18:37, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
