 * Keep for two reasons:
 * 1) While the article may or may not pass WP:CRIMINAL, it certainly satisfies WP:BASIC. At least two secondary sources are devoted entirely or largely to Pistol, while two others make substantial mention of him.
 * 2) There’s a general practice of having articles about the last person executed in a particular jurisdiction, even if there isn’t much to say about said individual, e.g. Vladimír Lulek. Now, Romania is a bit of a special case, as its last executions were of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu, who were both highly notable regardless of how they met their end. Nevertheless, as the target of the last regular execution, Pistol features in any serious treatment of capital punishment in Romania, and as such deserves a standalone article. — Biruitorul Talk 05:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
