Good enough for me. If it is unnamed, it would just be "Diaz's gang", but our titles are always in title case, so that's why the page is at "Diaz's Gang". By spelling I was referring to the z-apostrophe-s. Technically it should be treated like an s, and be <code>Diaz' Gang</code>, but a lot of modern (and many American) English sources only do that with a possessive ''plural'', so belonging to three pencils is <code>pencils'</code> instead of <code>pencils's</code>, but <code>Chris's</code> is allowed. This rule conforms to how it is pronounced, where you only add the sound "-es" once, either for plural or possessive, and you don't stack them up (pencil, pencils, pencilses), although this technically wrong in English spelling. I have opted for the simple option to keep it as pronounced (as described above) - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ([[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|?]]) 21:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC) | Good enough for me.

It's not really unnamed. The [[GTA Vice City]] game stat refers to the organization as "Diaz's gang", emphasis on the lower-case "gang". Of course, to maintain [[Grand Theft Wiki:Consistency|consistency]], I think it's best left capitalized for our purposes. Thoughts?
