[edit] Settimo Accardi

Not sure if I'm on to something or not, but Google only picks up Wikipedia and mirrors.[1] Looks non-notable to me?

• Delete per nod JackO'Lantern 07:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• The article does claim to appear in the Encyclopedia of World Crime and it was written by a legitimate user, MadMax, so I'm not very sure, No vote --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 07:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per mentions in [2] and [3]. Appears legit. Ziggurat 08:22, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• JackOLantern,

While I make every attempt to include external links, the vast majority of contributions have almost no online references. I don't believe Wikipedia policy establishes notibility based on Google hits (which, in my own opinion, seems questionable particluarly when credible sources are included). However, I have added additional sources and clarified the subjects notibility. Although I do understand your consern, the vast majority of my contributions recieve minimal Google hits and it would certainly seem a shame to delete the countless articles I've compiled based on that fact. Unfortunatly, several of my articles have been nominated for deletion from time to time on the same grounds. I have proposed the WikiProject Organized crime in an attempt for more knowlegable Wikipedians to determine the notibility of what is at times an otherwise disputed subject, although it hasn't had much support. If there is anyway I can more clearly establish his notibility I would certainly appreciate any suggestions. MadMax 21:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have nominated this in the first place. I mostly just wanted to see what other people thought as to the notability of it. JackO'Lantern 22:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

It's certainly not a problem, and it admittedly could have used some cleaning up. Besides it gave a chance to plug the Organized crime project. ;-) Thanks for letting me know. MadMax 22:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

LOL - in reference to the Organized crime project comment - no publicity is bad publicity, I guess. :) JackO'Lantern 22:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep per Ziggurat and apparent retraction of nominator. --Hyperbole 23:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
