Fails WP:GNG and WP:PERP. I was able to find a few articles that mention a Thomas Principe with mafia connections but I'm not sure it's the same person; the Thomas Principe mentioned in the articles I found is a businessman with ties to the Genovese family, while the Wikipedia page is about a hitman for the Gambino family. I can't find any sources supporting the claims made about Principe in this article. There are WP:BLP issues if Principe is still alive. It's a poorly written article about a non-notable person that appears to consist almost entirely of false information. Baronet13 (talk) 21:46, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Far too poorly sourced for a biography of an alleged murderer. I guess it's possible he was called the .22 Caliber Killer, but that moniker usually refers to New York serial killer Joseph Christopher. pburka (talk) 22:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am a fan of naming, shaming, and blaming criminals, but that is not the current consensus at WP:PERP. Bearian (talk) 14:11, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
