Okay, so suggestion board was created in April 2014. Two years later, mid-s3, DrL & Skyzy made three comments on guard page to rename Bellamy's Militia, but then comments were ignored. In August, DrL implemented rename, Bugthe objected, it was claimed rename was agreed upon in this discussion, but it wasn't.

Moving on, as Bugthe pointed out, that term "gunners" wasn't introduced until late s1. It also only applied to those who used guns (hence 'gunners'), not all the fighters/members of the militia/guard/gang/whatever-we're-calling-it-now. Per our current gallery table, only 50% of the members were gunners.

As shown across the wikia, often terms need to be created that weren't used in canon (e.g. A.L.I.E.'s Cult, War Against A.L.I.E., Arkadian Civil War, etc). I don't recall the 100's fighters being called "Guards" and I think militia is a much better descriptor than guard is for the fighters' role. (Though initially, the group was more like a gang, but then it turned into a militia.) I particularly don't like using "Guards" because we have groups that were actually named "Guards" – using "Guards" for the delinquents, gives the impression that the group was equivalent to the others and not just a makeshift unit.

To summarize, we currently have three people okay with "Delinquent Militia" and two okay with "Delinquent Guard".
