This is an article about the murder of a nonnotable mobster. Maybe this killing deserves a mention in the article about Dean O'Banion, but there is no reason for an article about Duffy. The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 21:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete He seems notable, but there are inadequite references and sources. I will reverse my opinion if such sourcing can be found. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 00:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Dean O'Banion. The circumstances surrounding Duffy's murder are detailed in several books, and at least one contemporary newspaper article. However, this looks like a case of WP:BIO1E, and I don't think this event has any enduring significance, except as a chapter in the life of O'Banion.
