Bontade Mafia family

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The Bontade Mafia family does not exist. A Google search only returns five hits related to the Wikipedia article or mirrors of that article. Mafiosi like Stefano Bontade or Francesco Paolo Bontade headed the Santa Maria di Gesù Mafia family. Typical case of WP:NOR. - Mafia Expert (talk) 21:36, 28 March 2009 (UTC) 
 * Comment I have insufficient knowledge to suggest a delete, but Stefano_Bontate was the boss of the Santa Maria di Gesù family, and cannot find a mention of his own family. I cannot find a mention of his "replacement" Spadaro outside of the Santa Maria family, either. TNplinko (talk) 16:11, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Spadaro, although related to Bontade, was a member of a different Mafia family, the Porta Nuova family once headed by Giuseppe Calò. Mafia families in Sicily, unlike the US, are generally not named after Mafiosi, but rather after the neighbourhood or town they come from. The blood family is seen as a clan and are named as such when they are particularly important and have a long history, such as the Greco Mafia clan. That is probably the confusion. - Mafia Expert (talk) 15:24, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
