[edit] Alphabetic listing ?

Does this list really need to be sectioned alphabetically? I propose removing the alphabetic section names. Comments? Thanks Hmains 19:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] duplicative articles

Why do we have both this article and another article called list of Irish American gangsters ? Which one should remain and which one should disappear? Thanks Hmains 00:59, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Interesting, I wasn't aware another editor had created a similar article. I would assume, following naming convention and the older of the two articles, the list should be merged here. MadMax 14:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] non-referenced names

Names should not appear on this list unless they have WP articles that attest to their being Irish American and mobsters OR, for names with out WP articles, references are provided in this article that attest to these facts. Accordingly, I propose to move all the non-referenced, non-article names to this article's talk page where they can be further examined for possible later inclusion in the article. I will start on this work in 7 days or so. Any comments? Hmains (talk) 05:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
