Convicted of murdering his parents in Texas. While there is news coverage in the Dallas-Fort Worth papers, I'm unable to find any news coverage outside of Texas and only a couple of mentions elsewhere in Texas. Just a "routine" murder. WP:NOTNEWS. Bgwhite (talk) 08:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete All murders are horrible and there is nothing "special" about his wretched crime. Fails WP:PERPETRATOR.   Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  16:59, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - more than one involved in this crime. doesnt seem to fail wp:oneevent.. --BabbaQ (talk) 20:00, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Question: There's always more than one person involved in a crime (suspect and victim).  Doesn't mean we have to keep every murder that has more than one killer.  What do you mean by "doesnt seem to fail wp:oneevent"?  Also, while researching on what makes a murder notable or not, I've never found a murder/crime you didn't say keep on. (only looked at around 40 however).  What do you think is the threshold for a murder not being notable?  Bgwhite (talk) 06:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe it makes sense to put it as an example under "Historical Cases" under "Parricide" and cut out portions of it? Allycat1208 (talk) 23:12, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. One "true crime" book was written about the murder, however, I'm not sure if that is enough to meet notability requirements. Location (talk) 15:17, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per WP:PERPETRATOR. As for the book, is this book reliable and notable itself? Beagel (talk) 19:05, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
