Sonny Gambino

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No real assertion of notability (other than was son/grandson), no references, and full of highly-contentious claims. Google brings up 26 hits; most appear to be unrelated. Article has already been speedied once. Oli Filth 19:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO, as no sources cited also fails WP:BLP. Hut 8.5 19:15, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as suspected hoax. Any Gambino member this important would show up in Google News Archive or Google Books. There was a Salvatore Gambino, but he was born in the 1930s. --Dhartung | Talk 19:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not convinced that this is a hoax (there are a number of hits for "Salvatore Gambino" in Google's News and Books). However, the WP:BLP issues are so severe that I think that the best thing is to delete the article for the time being. I have no objection to recreation of the article with reliable sources cited throughout. Jakew 23:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per all above, plus recommend salting as I believe it is likely this will be recreated in much the same format. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 18:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agree this needs to be salted, editor who created it is placing references to Sonny G in a number of other articles, for example, 1950.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 19:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment - now the content of this article has been blanked by an admin for serious breach of WP:BLP, I believe we can move straight to a speedy delete. Oli Filth 21:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
