Cuban mafia

 * Delete while there were Cuban-American criminal organizations that operated in South Florida in the 70s/80s that imported cocaine through Miami I am unaware of a formally structured "Cuban mafia" which referred to itself as such. The article makes no citations whatsoever to establish the existence of such an organization and the only specific group it makes mention of is a criminal organization know as "The Corporation". After googling I found this Reuters article that mentions the organization and uses the name "Cuban mafia" in quotations as to imply that it is the source using that name to make a comparison to the actual mafia. If someone can explain to me why this merits an article I will gladly withdraw my deletion rationale but so far this seems to be a non-notable "organization" and there is nothing in the article to convince me otherwise.--Jersey Devil (talk) 22:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence that this concept or organization even exists. Article is pure assertion with no sources or verification. Google finds nothing authoritative. --MelanieN (talk) 03:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)MelaniieN

 * Keep The Gbooks hits show that while these criminals may not refer to themselves by this name, it is a term frequently used by outsiders. Edward321 (talk) 00:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
