[edit] Sources
This article is in dire need of some verifiable sources for pretty much all of its claims. DreamGuy 02:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
I have lived in the Detroit area all my life and have never heard of this.--Captweez 02:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Same here, almost 40 years and never heard this one. -- clintp 01/21/2006
[edit] AfD
I've lived in Detroit my entire life, and have spoken with several other people regarding this subject. To date, no one has heard of this "nain rouge". The one source that is cited looks dubious at best. I am of the opinion that this entry is not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Isopropyl 06:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Don't assume that because you've never heard of something that therefore it is not worth inclusion. Try Googling Nain Rouge and see what you get -- 36,900 hits excluding wikipedia and derivatives -- though there is also a rock band (from Detroit, I might note) and a movie with the same name. Now I'm not saying that this is a good article -- but the subject does appear to be real (or at least as real as urban legends get). Here are just a few additional links [1] [2] [3] [4] older ≠ wiser 13:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Can we keep this entry but change the title from "Nain rouge" to "Nain rouge urban legend". Bigturtle 23:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that the title should remain Nain Rouge. --AStanhope 01:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- I agree there is no need to move this as it is not ambiguous with any other "Nain Rouge". Rmhermen 17:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
It looks good: here is a cite from a 19th century book: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/6615/6615-h/6615-h.htm#2H_4_0209 April 15, 2006

No reason whatsoever to delete that information. Please explain. Spectre7277

[edit] Nain Rouge Graffiti?
I saw some Nain Rouge graffiti on an underpass driving on Southfield Fwy. today, it said something like:
"SEARCH WIKIPEDIA: NAIN ROUGE ..."
but I didn't get a very good look at it. I thought it was weird to see Wikipedia mentioned in graffiti. It's on the northbound lane around Ford or Warren (Google maps link: [5]). Has anybody else seen Nain Rouge graffiti? (might be something to add to the article) --Lost-theory 03:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Looking at the page history this passage was deleted [6]:
Also the "Nain Rouge Crew" is a group of vandals that draw graffiti art in the city of Detroit,MI. More recently the "crew" has painted up the Eastern Market Yard and has offended certain writers. The vandals of Nain Rouge Crew include Terf, Defi, Ninja, and Nero. These individuals are currntly being on pursued by some in the graff comunity, its funny that one group of kids can have the whole city of Detroit in an uproar. Ha they might think that were from the suburbs but in actuality Terf is from Joy Rd., Defi is from South West, Ninja is from 7 Mile and Nero is from Woodward. With Love, Turph
Probably not worth a mention. --Lost-theory 22:03, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
