Article doesn't pass WP:GNG, not in its current state, at least. BEFORE doesn't help and this article has been having issues since 2006. No inline citations, etc. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:10, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - I confess to having edited this article 14 years ago when I felt that every article belonged on Wikipedia. The subject is a low level member of a crime family whose article is essentially about his murder. There are no claims of notability (or notoriety), no mentions in the New York City newspapers or other sources.
- In Murder Machine, there are numerous mentions of Grillo, but nothing to indicate that he was really important in the crime family or an important figure to law enforcement. I searched Mob Star: The Story of John Gotti on Google Books and found no mention of Grillo. Rogermx (talk) 03:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
