Talk:Pietro Balbo

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) Pietro Balbo already appears on wikipedia on a list of people executed by the state of New York. His execution was a significant event to the Italian population of New York City at the time was widely reported on by the newspapers of the era and even drew the attention of the both the governor of New York and the Italian Ambassador to the USA. --Aias1996 (talk) 18:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Find-A-Grave external link
This edit removed a citation for Pietro Balbo at Find-a-Grave While Find-a-Grave is generally not considered a reliable source, a Find-a-Grave external link can yield useful information, such as photos or images that can be informative. In this case there is a newspaper report from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Aug 7, 1880 about the Funeral of Balbo and a clipping of the entry about Balbo from 1886 Professional Criminals of America By Thomas Byrnes. The latter gives Balbo's date of death as August 6, 1880. Both these sources might be worth following up to see if the can be used as citations. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:46, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Original Research clean-up tag removed
I have removed the Original Research clean-up tag because there was nothing in the article that indicated what parts of the text were original research, and what parts were not. Because the article has several newspaper citations and other sources appear to also exist, according to the deletion discussion, assume that what is in the article only needs to be verified from existing sources, which is why I changed the tag to request more citations. If anyone thinks a particular part of the text involves original research, please identify it with an appropriate in-line clean-up tag, such as or similar. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:00, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
