Lead section[edit]

That first sentence could do with a bit of a rewrite: "The Gustin Gang was the earliest Irish-American gang to be in control of the Boston crime scene during the early 20th century reaching its height during the early-1920s." --duncan 22:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name origin[edit]

Where exactly did the name Gustin Gang name come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.232.220.225 (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This Google maps link points to Gustin Street in Boston. Perhaps that is why it in the article. Unfortunately, the words "Google Maps" do not explain this. Potentially, that means including the link is original research. However, tThe presence of this link to Gustin Street, Boston is curious, but it is not enough to verify that the gang is named after the street. (Or was the street named after the gang?) The naming connection needs to be stated or explained and supported by citing a reliable source, if one exists. Otherwise, it is speculation. Part of the reason I have tagged the "Google Maps" external link, rather than removing it as meaningless, is because the link occupies a place in the article where the name of the gang and any connection to Gustin Street, Boston, ought to be explained. If it was, the, currently inappropriate, external link which is in the article text could be turned into a citation to further support any statement made. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:01, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
