[edit] John Childs
Both unnotable and the article is very poor, containing pretty much no information and the ref is very poor too SqueakBox 19:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Couple of sources here and here, and I'm guessing more can be found based on the severity of the case. CitiCat ♫ 21:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete per WP:NOT#NEWS because I do not think we should have articles for everyone who commits a horrendous murder. Corpx 06:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep It was SIX horrendous murders, not just one. John Childs should go straight to the Essex spinner IMHO but the hitman is notable too. He's on a list of only 35 murderers who the Home Office say will definitely die in jail [1]. He's not just any murderer. Nick mallory 08:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This is a perfectly good stub with a reliable source cited. Aren't there some disambiguation issues with a cricketer and an aviator? Shouldn't this article be named "John Childs (murderer)"? Why does he get the name without the explanation?OfficeGirl 16:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
