Do all criminals executed in the United States pass the notability criteria?--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 20:01, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Probably not, but this guy does --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 12:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

There are some jackasses on here who will write about any lowlife murderer just to give them a little bit of fame that they quite frankly don't deserve. This guy was brutal killer and no one should really give a fuck about the method of execution. He sure didn't care about how he murdered his cellmate.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.167.254 (talk • contribs)

I don't condone his actions, but he passes WP:BIO so a page is not out of the question for him. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 13:54, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

• Maybe some explanation of why you think he is notable is in order here. We've all seen bios of people who have actually accomplished something nominated for deletion. Aspenocean 14:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

• Well, he meets the first criteria for WP:BIO, as there are 3 sources listed on his page linking to articles about him. I'm sure by doing a WP:GOOGLE test, would provide more reliable sources as well. I understand that on WP:BIO it states that just because someone passes one of the criteria, it doesn't necessarily mean they are notable enough to get a Wiki entry. However, it also doesn't state that passing one criteria is NOT grounds for notability. Basically, it's a toss up. It can go either way. So, if you believe he is not notable, then nomintate him for deletion. Personally, I'm neutral on the subject, and don't care one way or the other. Just simply putting in my thoughts. Have a good day. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 18:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
