Starbuck Prescott 12:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC) The Reverend Louis Gigante, in addition to being a major local philanthropist and two-term city council member in the Bronx, was implicated by the testimony of Mafia rat George Barone as being a major member of the administration of the Genovese crime family, the largest and most powerful crime family in the country. A Catholic priest and local NYC celebrity who turns out to be a cooperating member of New York's most powerful mafia family has a clear case for newsworthiness and notability. The New York Times, Village Voice, Crime TV's Crime Library, and New York Sun columnist Jerry Capeci all have multiple publically available articles where Father Gigante is the central or a major subject that are freely available on the internet.[reply]

Many other stories have been missed from thsi edit

such as the elderly lady who was without a bath for many years, which the landlord refused to fix for her, this has now been rectified after it was discussed in the newspapers.

Mr Muldoon's story is an interesting one, the assault by a neighbour which has left him incapacitated with blinding headaches and memory loss, after being attacked by a cane by a neighbour's son (who egged him on to do so) resulted in him having his head stapled together. he stil suffers flashnacks and pains to this day. Security guards watched on while this happened, and the security cameras were not working

One only has to see a copy of the complaints and repair sheet of this one building to see repair work is not undertaken.

America should be ashamed of the non regulated nature of landlords such as this, where crime is rife and largely ignored, if it was raised from the ahses, it should be sent right back there.

the laws do not seem to apply to this particular landlord, the law states that any landlord failing to carry out emergency and basic standard living mainatenance will have his or her property seized by the government and/or a fine imposed, this landlord seems to be able to ingnore this law and no-one brings him to call for it.

One only has to google the news articles on these properties to appreciate how desperatethe properties are, there are plenty of damning reports regarding them.

Claims of sexual misconduct: Unsourced and irrelevant?

The article at present contains a claim of sexual misconduct that is unsourced. Furthermore, I'm wondering if the claim is of such a nature that it does not meet the standards of "Biographies of living persons", but I'm not certain how to deal with it. As I see it, Mr Gigante is not a public person, and as such great care should be taken when writing about crimes, particularly of a sexual nature. Any tips on how to proceed?

As a simple priest or relative of crime figures he may not be "public", but being a politician and activist do make him such. Added the Daily News cite.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:10, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mob

As per "Untitled" at the top of these comments, there is reason to think Gigante co-operated with his family in concealing Vincent Gigante's feigned insanity. See that article. Spicemix (talk) 09:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
