Subject doesn't meet GNG. All the sources are obituaries, and are routine or minor/non-significant coverage. Suggest merging contents into D'Agostino Supermarkets that the subject founded and does have obvious notability. Macktheknifeau (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A by-lined obituary in the New York Times is a pretty solid indication of notability and far from routine. So is the entry in the Routledge Italian American encyclopedia. pburka (talk) 19:42, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Pburka's comments on sourcing. Walt Yoder (talk) 18:07, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with D'Agostino Supermarkets: The only two IS RS are the Routledge encyclopedia article and the NYT Obit, which depends heavily on the Routledge article, so basically one encyclopedia entry. I don't think this is enough for a standalone article, especially when the content will fit so well into the target. This seems like an unneeded CFORK, only makes readers chase links. I tried to clean up the article and added inline citations.  // Timothy :: talk  10:21, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - boomers and Gen Xers in the NYC metropolitan area will remember his TV commercials and charity work. That and the Times obit push him over notability. Bearian (talk) 01:45, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Opinion is divided between those wanting to Keep the article and those pushing for a Merger.

• Keep - It looks like there are at least two sources providing SIGCOV of D'Agostino, and although their content is similar, I don't see that one depends on the other as one editor suggests. Hatman31 (talk) 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
