The content of Pop Train was merged into Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program on 19 November 2022. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

Merge in Pop Train

I think the stub article Pop Train should be merged into the Water dumping / container deposit cashing fraud section. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 12:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 11:38, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

Criticism section doesn't actually contain any specific criticisms of SNAP, and the first sentence is not W:NPOV. 2600:8801:710E:7E00:F024:7D1F:5210:BD59 (talk) 23:13, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

US government sources can be used verbatim. Improved citation to clarify 〜 Adflatuss • talk 02:52, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In this article I think addressing more about the food insecurity and poverty side of SNAP would be beneficial for the readers. Addressing how SNAP has aided in food insecurity and food access could shed light on how the federal government has taken action to medicate this issue. The article needs to expand on the statistics and research that have looked at how many individuals in poverty are having the ability to become more food insecure when gaining SNAP as a tool.Avaellea (talk) 22:53, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Train Section Citations

All citations of the “Pop Train Scheme” link to 404 and look to have been the same author/story. There is no evidence this was a real thing. This section should be removed. Not sure if I used the right tag, I’m new to this!Mpalley (talk) 13:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mpalley: I've improved the citations of

§ Pop Train. We seem to have some local news reports indicating that it was a regular practice of at least one person in Jackson, Kentucky. The news reports indicate that this wasn't illegal until fairly recently, so it's possible that this was a legal business at one time, or even that the individual running it was unaware that it had been made illegal. Regardless, I'm inclined to regard it as WP:UNDUE given the size of this national program. We should only discuss statistics of the scale of fraud, not report on individual trivial instances of fraud. Daask (talk) 16:42, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
