Execution-style murder

Problematic article, only one source, and I suggest that this is a poorly-defined concept, open to various interpretations, and some people might not regard it as a helpful concept.

 * Delete or userfy. See WP:TNT. This is right now a WP:DICDEF, but could be written as a book. Bearian (talk) 17:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a common term and it has been referenced many times by various sources - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Execution-style+murder#ip=1.KatoKungLee (talk) 00:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

 * unsure - think it is possible/likely that this topic is notable (in the sense that paramilitary, gangs and mafia etc might kill people) but I'm not sure I'm seeing a way to write the page which would meet the quality standards of an encyclopedia. As it is written it seems almost anything could be included. JMWt (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as Bearian points out this is basically a dictionary definition, plus some examples that could be WP:OR. The most obvious way to expand this would be to create an even longer list of famous execution-style murders, which IMHO would not be a worthy project.
 * Delete: per Bearian, per WP:DICDEF.  // Timothy :: talk  08:18, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
