Talk:2009 Mexico most-wanted drug lords

Keep Your Opinions To Yourself About What Is A Reliable Resource
The website is known for reporting military-like operations and is quite reliable. Mercy, it's only your opinion that the website is unreliable. Please, keep your opinions to yourself.JoetheMoe25 (talk) 02:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes, sources do say that. And this article reflects that already. What's your point? Please clarify. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 13:14, 10 December 2011 (UTC), and I approved this message.

I'm Most Certain El 2000 Was Captured
According to this source, which was published in September of 2010, he is no longer an active member of the Beltran Leyva Cartel.75.72.35.253 (talk) 12:45, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * If you are referring to Francisco Hernández García, he is still wanted regarless of whether he is or is no longer with the Beltran Layva Cartel. He is still a fugitive, so the article still stands correct. My name is Mercy11 (talk) 13:18, 10 December 2011 (UTC), and I approve this message

Perhaps you misunderstood what I meant. I was implying that the fact that he was no longer operating with the cartel was an example of news indicating he had been arrested This website is another example and it even lists a source.  Unfortunately, many of the top sited resources Google provides for these arrests are written in Spanish, as some of these drug lords are not wanted in the United States.75.72.35.253 (talk) 20:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * If you have any good references in Spanish, its no problem; we will add them and mark them "(In Spanish)" within the citation. Thanks. Mercy11 (talk) 02:27, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

There's Been 21 Drug Lords Captured Or Killed So Far, But There's Currently Only 19 Listed As Such On This Article
We need to add more.75.72.35.253 (talk) 12:33, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a discrepancy between the number reported by the authorities as captured or killed and the number resulting from adding the number captured/killed from the table. If you know which 2 are missing please add them to the article or add them here and an editor will gladly add them to the article. However, be aware a reliable source (WP:RS) must be included as a citation for reference. Regards, My name is Mercy11 (talk) 13:23, 10 December 2011 (UTC), and I approve this message.

Dionicio Loya Plancarte Captured or Fugitive?
The citation for Dionicio Loya Plancarte's alleged Capture was added HERE. I am not sure if it is is accurate or reliable, or both or none. I do know that a Google search for Dionicio Loya Plancarte does not provide any other sources indicating he has been Captured (or killed). As such, I tend to believe he is indeed a fugitive today.

His Wikipedia article (at Dionicio Loya Plancarte) does provide a citation for his alleged Capture, but it is the same as the one provided in this article on the 37 most-wanted drug lords and that citation is now a dead link.

In any event, his article also has a 4-month old unfulfilled CN tag regarding his having been released. It appears that no one can substatiate he has been released, possibly because he was novee Captured to start with and, as such, the Captured report from Quadratin may have been incorrect to start with. (In addition, I see that another editor is pointing to THIS as a citation that Dionicio is still at large (a Fugitive).)

That said, I am removing the Captured claim, and resetting back to Fugitive, both here and in the article about him.


 * The above correction puts the government/news count (of 24) and the gallery/summary table in this article in sync.

 * You're right. CNNMéxico gave out the list recently, and the only drug lords of La Familia Michoacana that are still on the job are Servando Gómez Martínez and this guy. ComputerJA (talk) 00:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

José María Guízar Valencia
José María Guízar Valencia (Z-43), had a bounty of $5 million USD, yet is not mentioned here. Just captured: -BatteryIncluded (talk) 01:05, 10 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Greetings...The article is about the 37 Most wanted as listed and announced by the Mexican government in 2009. Jose Maria wasn't in that list; this is why he isn't in the article. BTW, there are many, many cartel leaders like Jose Maria out there --they probably number in the hundreds, with bounties on their heads (either by Mexico or the US, or both); Jose Maria isn't the only one with a bounty on his head.
