Murderer/rapist who fails Wikipedia's notability policy for criminals - nothing other than routine coverage. Claritas § 22:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per nom, article fails WP:PERP. Derild  49  21  ☼  23:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:PERP and also falls under WP:NOTNEWS. Could transwiki to wikinews (if pos) as there doesn't seem to be anything on there. Note to possible keepers please address how the article meets WP:PERP, the previous AfD was simply a pile-on of !votes that were votes and didn't address WP policies and guidelines. It is an interesting piece with some useful info, but it's not for wikipedia. Bigger digger (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Uh-uh. Transwiki is impossible for three reasons: 1) licence incompatibility 2) this article is written in the wrong style (encyclopaedic versus news report) 3) this "news" is by five years.  Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 12:25, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm... well I was thinking that old news was still news - I assumed wikinews would be interested in it. I have looked and stand corrected, thanks! Bigger digger (talk) 18:20, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
