Fails WP:CRIME and WP:BASIC. The sources in the article only have passing mentions of him, and I couldn't find anything significant online. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 11:01, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I've just spend some time gutting the article of the usual copyvio added by the article's creator. I agree, where he's mentioned it is briefly and as one of several others involved in the shakedown. Dougweller (talk) 11:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment As an example, some of the copyvio was from, a source not used in the article and which gives him only a brief mention. What does concern me is all the respectable men with the same name - article should never had just a name without a qualification. Dougweller (talk) 11:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Ralph Esposito does not pass WP:CRIME and is already mentioned in Genovese crime family New Jersey faction article.--Vic49 (talk)  00:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect perhaps? What's the threshold for notability for redirects? --Lenin and McCarthy |  (Complain here) 03:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If the relationship between the subject and the intended target passes WP:V, and by extension WP:BLP, then we could redirect rather than delete. WP:R also has some guidance. I also seem to remember that the subject should be mentioned in the target article somewhere, but I can't find the policy page that mentions it now. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 14:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
