Joseph LaMotta fails WP:N. A google search turns up barely any coverage, let alone coverage from reliable sources. He was the son of a notable person, and died in a notable disaster. That's it. This article needs to go. Tapered (talk) 23:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable on any criteria.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:13, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SNOW. This is about as Six degrees of separation from notability as any stub I've seen in recent months. Bearian (talk) 21:52, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Classic example of how (in this case, literally) notability is not WP:INHERITED. Muffled Pocketed  11:18, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I share Fortuna's sentiment, literally nothing notable about this subject.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:08, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Jake LaMotta - not notable as discussed above, but a plausible enough search term, and he's mentioned there. This is often done with non-notable relatives of notable individuals, where there's at least a plausible search term. See Articles for deletion/Shonda Schilling, Articles for deletion/Ryan Fitzgerald (ice hockey), etc. Smartyllama (talk) 15:32, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Both of the examples cited have much stronger google coverage than Joseph LaMotta, and are alive. Tapered (talk) 04:55, 4 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Jake LaMotta. Like Smartyllama said, I could see this as a plausible redirect to his much more notable father. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:33, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
