Russian Mafia

There is no such thing as Russian mafia, it is meaningless, umbrella term, applied liberally to individual groups. No one criminal gang or organization is named "Russian mafia". HoKiNgO (talk) 14:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, obviously (subject of books, etc.) Given that this is the nominator's first and only edit, I suspect this is some sort of WP:POINT violation. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:08, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. (ec) A well known term much used in the media for organised russian criminals. Whether or not it is an umbrella term for many different groups is irrelevant to AfD, obviously notable.  Clarifying in the article, if needed, is the proper action.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  14:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - that's an awful lot of references for an imaginary topic. Should be moved to Russian m afia though (lower case).  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 14:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
