Howard Long[edit]

Unnotable criminal that fails WP:BIO. No assertion of notability with only a single local news paper mention in article (and the mention of Long in that article is about the same length as this article, which pretty much just paraphrases the the news article). Google hits do not turn up any reliable sources showing extensive coverage of Long, nor does a Google book search. Failed CSD. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 21:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. Quite a few Google news hits, including a pay article entitled "Eyewitness account of infamous execution". Although the man himself may not have been notable in his time, he seems to have become notable for being the last execution in New Hampshire. Pburka (talk) 00:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per Jim Miller below. Good suggestion. Pburka (talk) 01:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Capital punishment in New Hampshire. The information should be on that page, but it's not. Jim Miller (talk) 18:35, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Capital punishment in New Hampshire, there's only a sentence here, which needless to say concerns his execution. No particularly likelihood of an actual biographical article being written. --Stormie (talk) 05:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note I have already added the information and source to the timeline section of Capital punishment in New Hampshire. Jim Miller (talk) 13:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
