[edit] DeLuca crime family

DeLuca crime family (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I have tried to source this but I can't find anything on the Memphis Outfit nor the DeLuca crime family mentioned in the article. The initial article contained copyvio and did not support the first part of it. Basically, I think this may be a hoax. spryde | talk 14:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I also could not find anything about this in the lexis news database. Mangostar (talk) 15:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I am a writer for the collierville independent, I am following the story of recent arrests of some local crime figures who are belived to be a part of this organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klixx242 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete for now and the article can be redone if the story becomes notable. --Stormbay 19:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as unpublished, unverifiable WP:OR. The talk page tells the whole story here.[1] The cited sources cannot be verified. An online search cannot verify the existence of the cited book. The newspaper cite does not name a specific article. A search of the Collierville Independent archives yields no relevant hits on DeLuca. Even the author uses the words "believed to be". • Gene93k 21:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
• Whack before we get sued (assuming these people are even real). We are not the police blotter and even a series of articles in the Collierville Independent (an institution so immutable that its domain is for sale) isn't really enough for notability. --Dhartung | Talk 02:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
