I agree that we should delete it Rogermx (talk) 01:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

:*I don't understand. Why would you create the article in the first place when you're suggesting that it does not meet the WP:GNG? 11coolguy12 (talk) 08:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

::*Plenty can change in nearly three years. I think we should commend Rogermx for being prepared to publicly change his mind, which all too few Wikipedia editors seem to do. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

  • No reason has been given for why redirection wouldn't be a better option than deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete: Checked Google News - didn't look like he did anything else important. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 19:22, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Redirect to the target linked in the nomination, merging any reliably sourced content if any of it isn't already in that article. Nobody in this discussion has given any reason why deletion would be better than redirection. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

::A redirection is not necessary, Aparo does not pass WP:CRIME. --Vic49 (talk) 21:06, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

:::Redirects don't have to pass the guidelines/essays/etc., just point to where the person is mentioned. WP:CHEAP. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:14, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

:::: A redirect would be useless, in the effort of cleaning up the wp crime related articles. Just Delete the junk the article is about a mid level mobster. --Vic49 (talk) 22:20, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

:::::If there is coverage of this person in an article then a redirect is certainly not useless, because it helps our readers find that content. We base decisions on whether to have redirects on utility to our readers, not to editors. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:51, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:CRIME, minor criminal. --Cox wasan (talk) 07:09, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
  • One Author has requested the page to be deleted. Under G7 does that not mean case closed and the article may be deleted. Dontforgetthisone (talk) 22:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
