thread_title: File:Michael Franzese PTG Astrup 2009 crop.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: I think there is some confusion as to whether Michael Franzese is the biological son of John Franzese.  states stepson,  states Michael once thought he was stepson to John, but learned he is his biological father. There are probably several others for both sides. Interestingly, this recent interview of Michael's life does not mention he is his stepson, only mentions him as his father.  I think the sources claiming he is his stepson are misinformed. In the interview Michael mentions his father had 3 children from a different wife, while the other 4 are from another wife, however all are from John, with no mention of stepson.

text: You think the sources are "misinformed" based on what exactly? As recently as 2019, Michael has stated that he is uncertain that Sonny was his biological father. Sellpink (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stepson? 

message: Article says:
He took the oath alongside friend Jimmy Angelino, Joseph Peraino Jr., Salvatore Miciotta, Vito Guzzo Sr., and John Minerva — all of whom died violently over the next 20 years.
Big Sal Miciotta flipped in 1993, and testified against his Colombo compatriots. In 2011 Miciotta was interviewed for the television program Nothing Personal. I think he'd be around 74 now so it's not implausible he'd still be alive. In any case, he did not die violently between 1975 and 1995. This sentence may also be WP:SYNTH as it's combining several newspaper articles and then coming to a conclusion. Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the sentence is verging on SYNTH territory, since the sources only talk about those people who died violently, rather than anything about them being Made at the same time as Franzese. And, Franzese himself has bluntly stated that all those who were made with him have since died in his motivational speeches, so it was likely added by someone who followed Franzese and didn't look any deeper than that. There's several such Franzese-isms in the article that should be re-written or removed. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:52, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
