Possibly non-existent or apocryphal mobster. See more here and here. Suggest deletion or, if the historical record can be straightened out, rewrite to make note of uncertain status. Shoplifter (talk) 05:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: In David Critchley's The origin of organized crime in America: the New York City mafia, 1891-1931 On pg. 51-54 the section title "Morello-Terranova Organization" Critchley explains other authors (Chandler, Pasley and Selvaggi) made mistakes with naming the Morello's brothers. Critchley made a Morello famiy tree chart on pg. 53, there is no one with the name of Antonio Morello. --Vic49 (talk)  17:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Unreferenced and unclear sources. - DonCalo (talk) 13:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Seems more to be an issue of placing sources in this article. Per above delete reasoning. There wouldnt be this much information about a non-person.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree that the article has a good deal of information, but it seems to be a combination of the biography of Giuseppe Morello and the history of the Morello crime family. A person by the name of Antonio Morello seems never to have existed; see for example Critchley's family tree at page 53: Shoplifter (talk) 15:45, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * The article was probably written by User:Little Joe Shots who has a history of making things up and pretending to cite sources, see Talk:Agueci Brothers. It is highly unreliable, a blatant case of violating WP:NOR and should be deleted. - DonCalo (talk) 14:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - The article doesn't have a single citation and if you can't say for sure whether the subject exists, it doesn't deserve an article. --Ted87 (talk) 21:51, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
