Shouln't that be "Bugsy" with one "g"? -- Kennin 5/29/2008 - 5:34 (CET) —Preceding comment was added at 03:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The New York Times articles from the 1940's uses "Buggsy" more than once, so it is not a typo. The name is used in other well researched sources, too. See:
  • "Buggsy Goldstein Reign in Brooklyn Ends; Move for Appeal Funds for Gangster Fails". The New York Times. 4 December 1940. Retrieved 20 February 2022.
  • "GANGSTER IN COURT PLEADS FOR LIFE; Goldstein Interrupts Murder Trial With Dramatic Appeal to His Ex-Bodyguard CRIES 'YOU'RE BURNING ME!' Magoon, State Witness, Turns Away and Corroborates Reles Story of Slaying". The New York Times. 18 September 1940. Retrieved 20 February 2022.
  • "Murder, Inc. Trials: 1941 | Encyclopedia.com". www.encyclopedia.com. Retrieved 20 February 2022.
Perhaps you are thinking of "Bugsy" Siegal. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:24, 20 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Martin Goldstein nor Harry Strauss are not even considered in the "top 10" of Murder, Inc. but they are covered in that article. A non-referenced standalone article is not necessary. Otr500 (talk) 23:12, 30 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
