This character should be merged into the list. Starting to appear someway through the sixth season and only appearing a few times, he played absolutely no role in the series run overall. - Zarbon (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's no comparison. This character did absolutely nothing but appear for a few seconds and briefly even an in non-consecutive episodes. Just because he appeared in the final season, doesn't make him important. - Zarbon (talk) 15:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, there is no comparison at all. Albie only had input on some of the most consequential decisions in the show while Brendan Filone hijacked a truck and was killed--to NO lasting ramifications. You can argue that Mikey would have been killed anyway, even without him killing Brendan. If it was pure retaliation, Paulie wouldn't have been involved, only Christopher. Tony ordered him killed because he was loyal to Junior, not because he shot Brendan, whom Tony disliked anyway. Sure, Albie was only in one season and appeared in non-consecutive episodes, but he was a major player in instigating and defusing the war between NY and NJ. If Brendan Filone deserves a page for appearing in 2 episodes and being mentioned in two more, non-consecutive episodes, then I think that Albie Cianflone does also.192.104.231.235 (talk) 15:08, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Albie Cianflone did nothing himself. There are plenty of characters who actually did something in the series that aren't yet listed. Butch DeConcini was moreso responsible and instigated the oncoming chaos of NY versus NJ than Albie. Albie was there just for being there, much like Fat Dom Gamiello and Gerry Torciano. Those two also deserve pages way before Albie Cianflone even comes close to deserving one. Others who played a major role are Matthew Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte in season 2. They played a bigger role than Albie did for the episodes he was in. - Zarbon (talk) 15:09, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
