I'd say aa you grew more trusted, you would rise up in the ranks like any other prospect until you couldn't. Tommy DeSimone, Henry Borelli, Larry Mazza, William Bentvena(Billy Batts) are some Italian associates who would never be made, just off the top of my head. I'm sure the pundits on the forum can come up with other names.
Billy Batts was a made man for this reason DeSimone was killed.
I used to think that too, but OC Shortz lays out the case of why Billy Batts was in fact, not a made man. DeSimone was whacked because he killed both Foxy Jerothe and Bentvena. Also, he tried to rape Karen Hill who was having an affair with Paul Vario.
