See WP:BLP1E. This person has no historical significance warranting an article, nor are there any truly biographical sources (where he, rather than the one event he gained notoriety for, is the subject of the source). Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. But Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Delete.

 * Delete - It would be notable if he was a mass murderer but 2 people is relatively local and happens frequently. I do not see this person meeting WP:N hence deletion. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 22:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Although the crime made published resources, this is more of an archival news item then encyclopedic historical resource. Not to underplay the damage this individual did at all, but this doesn't warrant an article in an encyclopedia.


 * Weak Delete I'm a big proponent of "Notability is not temporary." This is one of the major ideas in the notability policy.  However, I will agree that the article only cites one source, which I believe is never enough, especially in a BLP article. Gosox5555 (talk) 02:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Serial killers are quite uncommon, and not unreasonably are of considerable public interest and consequent news coverage  I note this escapes BLP1E, as the murders were separate. There ought to be more sources available on this one, though.   DGG ( talk ) 04:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Killing two people does not seem to achieve encyclopedic notability, without producing secondary coverage (books, plays, movies) or societal effects, or legislation. Edison (talk) 05:41, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. 2 murders a few months apart is close enough to a single event that I feel WP:BLP1E is relevant in this case. Kevin (talk) 06:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
