[edit] Reversion
Taestell,
- Regarding your recent edit, as many of the mobsters listed in the Italian-American mobsters category are contantly being added, several mobsters are presently not on the list. Although the list is periodlicly updated it also provides a more detailed listing then the present category describes. If you feel the page should be deleted, instead of redirecting it to a category, you should at least consult the original author before making major changes. MadMax 22:45, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
Are Tony Cipriani and Matthew Giuffre, "Bat Jew" (1989-2006) appropriate contenders to be listed here. Is there a real Tony Cipriani as well as the videogame mobster. And as for Matthew Giuffre. A seventeen year old mobster who was killed this year. Do we have any sources for this. Unlikely but possible for the American mafia more likely to happen in the Sicilian mafia or 'Ndrangheta. Just clearing this up. --Alexbonaro 07:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- I am adding and have added a great number of mobsters (Italian-American ofcourse) to the list. Many of them not known to the general public but I am %100 sure of their existance at one stage or another. If you have any queries drop a message here or on my talk page rather then deleting them. Thankyou. --Alexbonaro 10:26, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jan 2007 clean up in order
I just finished removong Italian-American from most of the articles. Now for this list. Should we have so many red links? What about nuking them until the article is created. Also, this list contains <drum roll> zero references?? Why am I not surprised. I guess we are going by the individuals wiki article? I removed Dan Marino and a few others.--Tom 20:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Heil mobsters! Siegel Heil!
The ethnical profiling of criminals (such as this article on Wikipedia) is more than suspect in europeans' eyes. List of jewish-mobsters is horrendous due to history, but this huge scroll of italian mobsters is also an abomination.
We should consider that this is EN. wikipedia.org, not US.wikipedia.org (that is general english language wikipedia as opposed to unitedstatesian wikipedia) and thus article modesty policies should apply here which are acceptable for all civilized cultures. The genetic profiling of people according to "race vs. criminality" assumptions is a huge taboo in Europe and elsewhere, even if it is commonplace in USA.
Please relocate this and similar articles to us.wikipedia.org, so they do not lead to blocking of en.wikipedia.org access in many countries which have racism-ban laws! Those who are interested in these kinds of lists will find them on us.wikipedia.org. 82.131.210.162 14:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- In the United States, as well as parts of Canada, organized crime has historically been based by ethnicity. The "Cosa Nostra" in particular are closed to non Italian-Americans (although Irish-Americans and others have been hired from time to time for freelance work such as contract killings and armed robbery). I'm not sure I understand your claim that this would consitute as "racism" given Italian-Americans belong to an ethnic group while Judaism is a religion (the Jewish-American mobster list also applying to ethnicity as seen on the related Jewish-American organized crime article). However, you are certainly free to make your comments known on Wikipedia:Village pump. MadMax 19:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] John Germanotta
John Germanotta has never had any involvement with the mafia. The inclusion of his name is an insult to a great man. I'd like to know what basis User:Alexbonaro has for including him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Peshal (talk • contribs).
- Firstly, which John Germanotta are you talking about? Then I can help you by responding adequately. Tell me about this John Germanotta of yours. Alexbonaro 05:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
