Violates WP:BLP1E. No importance outside of Sharpton attack. Coretheapple (talk) 21:42, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge To Al_Sharpton#Assassination_attempt. Seems a BLP1E but... the target of the crime was notable, and there are circumstances around the event (such as Sharpton suing the city) that would merit, at least keeping the redirect. The basic information there can be easily condensed. Of course Sharpton didn't actually die, so maybe that's the problem here. §FreeRangeFrog 22:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Um, meaning that if Sharpton had died, the guy would merit his own bio. I meant that in a good froggy way :\ §FreeRangeFrog 22:11, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting it is a good idea. Terrible picture in that section, though, really cockeyed. That's the next thing I have to learn: how to straighten pictures. Coretheapple (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge as per above. Riccardi was a thug was a couple of priors, but is only notable because of the target of his attack and perhaps his bizzare notion that he was a hero. That could be easily covered in Sharpton's own article, no need for a crazy criminal to have his own article 24.187.214.210 (talk) 15:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
