Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Might need to be moved to List of illegal arms dealers? Also it will not be an orphan if you create a see also section in the articles of the arms dealers and add a link to this list..

Description of some of these as 'illegal' arms dealers[edit]

Moving the page 'List of arms dealers' to 'List of illegal arms dealers' has looped some of the arms dealers included in the list into the 'illegal' camp where there may not be the evidence to support this.

Efraim Diveroli defrauded the US government for which he was convicted. However, he traded with the US government through federal contracting mechanisms.

Pierre Laureys was an arms dealer to several countries as well as Hollywood but due the lack of international regulations at the time, he didn't break any arms embargos.

Ivor Ichikowitz is well known as the founder and chairman of Paramount Group, which sells new and surplus military equipment around the world but there is no evidence he has ever sold arms illegally. McMaxster (talk) 23:24, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
