Delete: By the article's own evidence, very obscure mobster. Could not find anything useful. The one source used doesn't even mention him as far as I can see. Very well could be a hoax. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, not a hoax (newspapers.com hits), still not notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:11, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He is actually included in a brief entry in the "World encyclopedia of organized crime" but it's not long and basically just what is here already. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
