[edit] Miami mafia

Super secret society that apparently contains one notable member - Drew Rosenhaus. I placed a merge tag on this article suggesting the content be merged with the Rosenhaus one (in fact it is already included there}. The creator of this article removed the merge tag after 6 days - see the talk page for more. From this article it impossible to tell who (apart from Rosenhaus) is in this secret society or what it is exactly that they do. Redirect to Drew Rosenhaus -- No Guru 20:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Further Comment. FYI a Google search for "Miami mafia" will return a multitude of hits almost all of which pertain to organized crime. A serach for - "Miami mafia" Rosenhaus - will return about 25 unique Google hits some of which are Wikipedia mirrors.-- No Guru 21:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• This is Articles for deletion. Neither article merger nor redirection require an administrator to hit a delete button. Only come here if you want articles to be deleted. Unless someone comes forward within the next 12 hours who actually wants deletion, as opposed to a redirect, I shall be closing this discussion. The places to discuss mergers are Talk:Miami mafia and Talk:Drew Rosenhaus, as the merger notices indicated. Uncle G 21:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the clarification, Uncle G. I tried the merger route but the original editor removed the Merger tag. I see now I should have placed it on Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. You can close this now if you wish to. -- No Guru 21:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Drew Rosenhaus or rewrite to explain that the term is a widely used pejorative that refers to the network of Cuban exiles who have influence in Miami.--Zleitzen 23:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: The organization, informal and secretive as it may be, has been cited by major national media and certainly is a big deal in the NFL as it relates to how Rosenhaus, the most prominent NFL player agent, built his practice. As for the other matter that the phrase is sometimes used to describe an unrelated group of Cuban-Americans, I think that only becomes an issue if an article is created for that group and, even then, it is easily resolved with a disambiguation page or a clarification on the top about which is which. I conceed the point that more information should exist on this group. Since the sports angle is what I know, it's limited to that. Perhaps other information can be found that would add to its overall substance, to the extent the group is active in any other fields. MiamiDolphins3 14:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
