The only reason I would argue Giaccone deserves an article is that he was the man who was supposed to be murdered by Donnie Brasco in order for Brasco (really Joe Pistone) to become made. The article could be improved to focus a bit more on that aspect. Secondly, you can't commit libel regarding a dead man. If the article libels another, living person, that's a different story altogether.--Gloriamarie (talk) 02:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
