One of many juvenile offenders executed in the United States, no real assertion of notability beyond this fact. Kansan (talk) 01:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - still quite notable execution with a juvenile as "victim". someone taking the time to make an article. hmm.. its a tough nut on notability but weak keep for me.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Many sources state that he was the last juvenile executed in the United States, therefore, he likely meets WP:PERP #1: "The perpetrator is notable for something beyond the crime itself." Location (talk) 00:41, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw my nomination - what Location said convinces me. Kansan (talk) 20:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
