This article seems to be promoting its subject

[edit]

Hi,

It would appear to me that this article is promoting the subject. I don't know how to fix it myself, unfortunately. If anyone can figure out how to reword this article so it describes the subject in a neutral manner, please do so.

Currently, of the article's 11 body paragraphs, five largely consist of content critical of pregaming, including:
  • association with harmful and dangerous activities
  • negative health consequences for, and risky behavior by, those involved
  • negative financial and legal consequences for local businesses
Of the remaining six body paragraphs, the content is largely a mix of:
  • description of the specifics of what is involved in the activity, taken mostly from daily newspapers
  • the reasons for participant involvement, as described by academics in university imprint works
  • brief statistical discussion on pervasiveness
If there is additional critical or negative material to be added about the activity, or criticism that can be included about the academic and news discussions of the subject matter, please go ahead and add that to the article. Infoman99 (talk) 22:15, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There's been an absence of discussion for more than a month, so it seems to be an appropriate time to remove the template. Infoman99 (talk) 05:10, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
