Talk:Louis Gigante

Untitled
Starbuck Prescott 12:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC) The Reverend Louis Gigante, in addition to being a major local philanthropist and two-term city council member in the Bronx, was implicated by the testimony of Mafia rat George Barone as being a major member of the administration of the Genovese crime family, the largest and most powerful crime family in the country. A Catholic priest and local NYC celebrity who turns out to be a cooperating member of New York's most powerful mafia family has a clear case for newsworthiness and notability. The New York Times, Village Voice, Crime TV's Crime Library, and New York Sun columnist Jerry Capeci all have multiple publically available articles where Father Gigante is the central or a major subject that are freely available on the internet.

Claims of sexual misconduct: Unsourced and irrelevant?
The article at present contains a claim of sexual misconduct that is unsourced. Furthermore, I'm wondering if the claim is of such a nature that it does not meet the standards of "Biographies of living persons", but I'm not certain how to deal with it. As I see it, Mr Gigante is not a public person, and as such great care should be taken when writing about crimes, particularly of a sexual nature. Any tips on how to proceed?

 * As a simple priest or relative of crime figures he may not be "public", but being a politician and activist do make him such. Added the Daily News cite.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  23:10, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Mob
As per "Untitled" at the top of these comments, there is reason to think Gigante co-operated with his family in concealing Vincent Gigante's feigned insanity. See that article. Spicemix (talk) 09:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
