One source (Jaffee's Ghoulish Book of Weird Records pp.42-3) says that the Bloody Angle was formed by the intersection of Mott Street and Pell Street.--Auric (talk) 17:05, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

It's absurd to name this "Bloody Angle," which is a flagrant violation of WP:NAME. The common name for Doyers Street is just that, Doyers Street. "Bloody Angle" derives from the Tong Wars of the 1920s and is absolutely not the name by which this street is known. Only historians and history buffs like myself are aware that it is called by that name. The article itself says that its so-called "violent history" ended in 1930. It has been peaceful for eight decades, and I'm surprised that people in Chinatown haven't complained vociferously about this ridiculous title for the article.
