The result was redirect to List of people executed in Pennsylvania. Fails WP:CRIME as no notability to the crime itself. Krakatoa Katie 03:56, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Biography which doesn't meet WP:CRIME - only "notable" for being the first to be executed in Pennsylvania after the death penalty was reinstated. There was nothing notable about the crime itself, which is required for notability. Ansh666 04:19, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge to List of people executed in Pennsylvania seems to be the best option. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a note, there really isn't anything to merge - the target is in table format and has all of the really important and relevant information. Ansh666 19:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:BASIC, secondary sources, etc. At worst, redirect as above. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 06:38, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:BASIC: "Articles may still not be created for such people if they fall under exclusionary criteria, such as being notable only for a single event, or such as those listed in What Wikipedia is not." - this poor man fails both, since he is "notable" for being the first to be executed after the reinstatement of the death penalty (better covered in List of people executed in Pennsylvania, to be honest), and doesn't pass WP:NOTNEWS since there was no lasting impact independent of the mentioned redirect target.

Merge to List of people executed in Pennsylvania and reformat that (possibly rename to Capital punishment in Pennsylvania). Most states have articles "Capital punishment in State X" and "List of people executed in State X" - I'm not convinced it's necessary to have 2 articles either for Pennsylvania or many other states, but it's reasonable to have some information on the reinstatement of capital punishment. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:13, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
