Talk:Jesse Tafero/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I can't be allowed to provide the record foundation to correct the errors in the original entry and the entry itself has no reliable, verifiable source, then the entry itself should be removed until and unless can provide a cite for the information that meets your criteria. Your policy does not allow promotional material and this entry is a promotion for Jacobs' books.

Jessie Joseph Tafero killed two officers and was executed as the legal penalty for his crimes. Every court up to and including the US Supreme Court upheld his convictions and death sentence. Those are the facts. Tafero is no more special than any other person who has been executed. Even the fact that his execution was botched is not unique, even in Florida. If Wikipedia is devoted to presenting factual information, those are the facts. All of the other rhetoric about Jacobs, Rhodes, etc. is neither factual or verifiable as written. Therefore, there is no reason that this should be an entry in Wikipedia at all. I would like to request that, if you won't allow me to correct the factual errors, you remove the entry entirely. Official records in the case apparently don't fit with your definition of a verifiable source, which I accept, but then the entry doesn't meet that criterion, either.
