Does not pass WP:CRIME, he is already mentioned in the Lufthansa heist article. Cox wasan (talk) 18:09, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, passes WP:GNG regardless of whether WP:CRIME is also met. Even if not, this would still be kept as a redirect, but the fact that he was the basis for Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas further supports keeping this a standalone article in my view rather than just redirecting to the heist article.  postdlf (talk) 07:54, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, not sure why this is even up for debate. He is one of the most notorious gangsters in modern U.S. history, and as mentioned above, was the basis for one of the most iconic villian characters in film history. He is mentioned extensively in books, articles, and documentaries. He deserves a standalone article. 71.202.152.182 (talk) 22:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
