Talk:List of identities in The Gangs of New York (book)

message: Charley Ross was a victim of crime, in Germantown, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  AFAICS, he shouldnt be listed here, but im not American so maybe i have missed something?  Jayvdb 01:44, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Although Charley Ross was from Pennsylvania, his suspected kidnappers Bill Mosher and Joe Douglas were well known New York criminals as well as associates of Marm Mandelbaum (both men being killed in a failed robbery several months after the kidnapping).

thread_title: [[Charley Ross]]

message: There seem to be a lot of people who don't belong here.  Perhaps the person who added the names could add a few words about why each is here. It's tempting to delete that whole part of the list. Eclecticology 21:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: A lot of links for the people listed here point to the wrong people... wjmt (talk) 16:41, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong people 

message: I think this article should just be deleted.  I think I nominated it for deletion but I don't know if I did it right.  This entire article has no references, and many of the links to different people are linked to the wrong person.  I think this may even fall under being slander against living people.

thread_title:  Deletion 

message: This article is contentious to some because the mere fact that a name exists on the list implies the individual is a criminal.  Many of the entries do not have articles in WP and need reliable sources.  If sources cannot be found, they should be deleted.  Additionally, some names are linked to articles that clearly do not reference criminal behavior.  They should be removed or properly sourced.--Mike Cline (talk) 22:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:JackDiamond.jpg

message: Obviously the title of this article is wrong, as it includes many people who are not criminals. I can see a number of options:
*Rename the article to something like "Gangs of New York cast of characters" or "Historical criminals and crimefighters of New York"
*Create a new article for the people who aren't criminals (what would you call it?)
*other options?
