I redirected this article, and was reverted by Brother William (talk · contribs). This person is 'notable only' by his famous father - and notability is not inherited. I suggest therefore we either delete or redirect. Giant Snowman 09:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Al Capone. Most of this information is redundant, but a 3 or 4 line summary of the article would be appropriate for the main article. --Simone 09:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there is a lot of biographical content out there in places like this. Look at the results of the google book search link above.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and where is the independent notability i.e. away from his famous father? Giant Snowman 13:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We should keep this, I don't see why everyone is crying about it, I read the article and it was informative..I never knew Al Capone had a child. Deleting it is illadvised because it would remove that information about the Capones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.183.86.83 (talk • contribs) - originally posted on AFD talk page

You have made a case for a section in the Al Capone article about his son - but not a seperate article. Giant Snowman 13:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I undid the redirection as there had been no discussion about its deletion. Further the article was not incorporated into the parent article, which still contained links to the original (causing an infinite loop). I would like to see it kept and with an expansion of the information about his assassination threat on Robert Kennedy. ~ Brother William (talk) 14:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...if you want to see it expanded then why don't you? Providing the sources are out there, of course - and somebody related to a famous person making threats about another famous person does not make them notable. Giant Snowman 14:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge Agree - merge to Al Capone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathlibrarian (talk • contribs)
Merge He doesn't have any notability apart from his famous father. Mattlore (talk) 09:22, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, without the "Real mother" section. The book that section is based on is listed published by "Recaplodge LLC." I find no evidence such a publisher exists; however, the Capone family evidently owned a Recap Lodge. The book must be self-published. Chick Bowen 03:31, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I went to the article because I wanted to know about him. Notable means worth having an article about and the son of the most famous gangster ever - what kind of life do the children of notorious gangsters have? - is certainly worth an article. A lot of the information would be out of place in the article on Al Capone. The article should be filled out. What did he do for a living? But keep definitely.
