See WP:BLP1E. Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. This person has no historical significance that would merit 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). He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. But Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Delete. Dominic·t 03:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Week keep in that I think spree killers (especially those in the UK ) are notable; however, I would acknowledge that he does appear to be your garden variety spree killer. Location (talk) 06:45, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
