Talk:Shapiro Brothers

trying to expand
If anyone has the page on their watchlist: I'll try over the next few days to expand the article a bit. Currently it makes little sense and is unreferenced so if anyone with expertise or interest in the subject, I could use a hand. Pichpich (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The Shapiro brothers are from Brownsville, Brooklyn and this was where their operations took place, not Williamsburg. Greeting from Germany, ClaptonDennis 19.5.2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.88.246.166 (talk) 19:52, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

And Abe Reles killed all of them, not any of the Ambergs! again ClaptonDennis 19.5.2010 (ClaptonDennis is my nick name from german wiki)
 * Just left a comment on the Abe Reles Talk page citing the discrepancy. If unreferenced, we should at minimum remove the Ambergs' names from this page.Wcichello (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject assessments for quality and importance
I am not a fan of articles that are combined biographies of multiple people as it is too easy for them to become confused and mix up the events about different individuals. The scope of WikiProject Biography says it includes only articles about individual persons. It excludes articles about groups, unless a substantial section of the article is a biography of a person related to that group. That suggest this article should contain separate sections that are pocket biographies of each of the Shapiro brothers. While this article has been rated "Start" class, I think if the article was split and rewritten as 3 individual biographical stub articles that would probably be an improvement, rather than a combined article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 06:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
