Delete. Unreffed bio for a non-notable criminal. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 01:28, 26 June 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. A minor criminal by Wikipedia's notability standards, fails WP:PERP by miles. How this article got through an AfD and then survived another 4 years is pretty baffling, let's not make the mistake now. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I created the original article. Given the amount of news coverage at the time, I'm disappointed that this article is all that we have to show for it. I suggest that this man's case could be of relevance as a legal precedent in respect of drug induced psychosis, but I offer no !vote. I invite others to look through the online newspaper reports that were cited in the first AfD before !voting. - Richard Cavell (talk) 03:47, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete The fact recent sources are so difficult to find demonstrates the lack of notability and makes it almost impossible to begin improvements. Alistair Stevenson (talk) 11:49, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with Alistair on this. I like to merge/redirect when possible, but I don't see enough for even that. With all due respect to the creator of the article, I think this serves as an example of why more attention should be given to WP:BREAKING. On the other hand, no harm has been done to Wikipedia in giving it a chance to grow. Location (talk) 15:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
