The page was requested to be made and is now well sourced and detailed. His murder started a war which started in the 50s and ended in the 70s, his son was an underboss in the 70s. He recruited Carmine Persico, who has been running the Colombo family since 1973 and is the boss. Him and his brother were close associates of Frankie Yale, close to Al Capone.

The blogspot blog sources are probably considered unreliable. The book is classified as a work of fiction. This leaves us with a NY Times article, mentioning Abbatemarco (but not Frank) and a Daily News one which finally is about Frankie. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) —PaleoNeonate – 03:58, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
The book may be fiction but the authors mention several (more than several) cases of real mobsters and incidents, more importantly they mention Frank Abbatemarco and his childhood friends. There is almost zero sources of Abbatemarco. But I mean I don't see the issue with this page - check Harry Greenberg (no sources) or Angelo Ponte with barely any words or detail. There are dozens of these cases of non worthy and non sourced mobster articles. ThePlane11 (talk) 09:58, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
