I'm unable to find any good source for the section about Frank's daughters. I'm removing the part about his daughter's supposed e-mail address, and I've marked the section as dubious for the time being. I've also flagged the article for a lack of citations. I'll try to find some and clean it up at a later date. 129.101.4.244 (talk) 15:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

<<<and he was overheard telling his girlfriend that her suicide forced him to contemplate his own death.>>>>>>>

The "girlfriend" has never been contacted for an interview or to tell her side of the story. She denied the content of the overheard conversation mentioned. --User:Rodneylancaster

"<<<<and he was overheard telling his girlfriend that her suicide forced him to contemplate his own death.>>>>>> Said girlfriend has denied this. It is a reference to a book by Gene Lees. She denies having said any such thing." I removed this from the "external links" and moved it in here. Marshall Stax 20:49, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

What is the source for Frank Rosolino's daughter, which was just added to the article? Badagnani (talk) 02:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Seriously you cant just edit this stuff and then not put in a source and expect people to take you seriously. How do we even know this is Frank Rosolino's daughter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.8.126 (talk) 21:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

No, you're not

According to the Superior Court of Washington, a woman named "Parris Andrea Loring" has been fraudulently claiming to be Mr Rosolino's daughter since the mid-2000s, despite numerous legal injunctions against her. I was unable to verify this document, so I have not added the deliciously juicy details about this apparently nasty woman's incessant scheme to defraud Frank's estate. But, if somebody can prove this is a real court filing, please do: http://media.wix.com/ugd/41b5ef_4e29f2e5eecb4ce5ba046f1f53c50d19.pdf 18:53, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Summary and the murder-suicide

edit

Per WP:LEAD, the lead should "summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies" - such as Rosolino's murder of his son (and shooting of his other son) followed by his suicide. Other information "should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article" - such as the opinion that he's most notable for this or that. The lead could probably use an expansion of a sentence or two, as long as it's info that's sourced in the body of the article. However, there's no way that the murder-suicide sentence does not belong in the lead. Rockypedia (talk) 14:33, 22 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Are the deaths of Rosalino and his sons controversial?

Considering it's the second-most notable thing he's known for, I'd say it belongs in the summary. Rockypedia (talk) 23:14, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Does not belong in the summary. Rosolino made great contributions to the culture, but murder-suicide was not among them, and is not what he should primarily be remembered for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BradJohnson (talkcontribs) 19:46, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
