 * Rename and restructure -- Unlike some articled classified as WP:OR, this article is not rubbish. However, it would be better entitled some like Public execution in England or Public execution in London.  We already have Capital punishment in the United Kingdom (which in fact ignores the separate juridictions of Scotland and Northern Ireland), but this is mainly concerned with its reform and abolition.  Accordingly this is potentially a useful article, but needs restructuring to fit the new title and a lot of citations, assuming the whole thing is not in fact derived from the one source cited.

 * Since writign the above, I have amended the article slightly. I was wrong in saying that the article only dealt with England: it is worse than that it really only deals with Tyburn and repeats (more fully) some of the content of that article.  An alternative might be to merge with Tyburn, or make it a main article to that one.  I regret my knowledge is inadequate to imporve it more.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Rename to Public execution in London and merge the relevant sections of Tyburn into it. Thryduulf (talk) 11:21, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
