::::::::::: '''Jamaican Yardies''' would be a bit silly; the whole point of [[wp:Yardies|Yardies]] is that they come from Jamaica - it would be like saying "Chinese Triads". How about the '''Broker Yardies'''? I know it doesn't have much of a ring to it, but it's the best I can come up with and it distinguishes them from the [[Uptown Yardies|other Yardies]]. --[[User:Bluesboyjr|Bluesboyjr]] 15:28, May 18, 2010 (UTC) | ::::::::::: '''Jamaican Yardies''' would be a bit silly; the whole point of [[wp:Yardies|Yardies]] is that they come from Jamaica - it would be like saying "Chinese Triads".

The entire 5 families are referred to as "The Mob," and the Irish Mob is referred to as "Irish American Killers," while all the assorted African American gangs are just called "African Americans." I am strongly against that move suggestion for one reason, and one reason alone. The Yardies in GTAIII are a seperate entity. The West Indian criminals in Chinatown Wars are also referred to as "Jamaicans," so the term "Yardie" never once comes up in any 4 of the games set within the current Liberty City.[[User:D16x|D16x]] 09:11, July 5, 2010 (UTC) | ||
