Jesse Washington

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The subject not notable as an individual, simply as the subject of an infamous event. At least, merge to "Waco Horror," or the main article describing the totality of the event. Pepe Machao (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If that's the standard, then we should delete Emmett Till's page, too, since he didn't do anything notable except get lynched. The point is, his case was important and significant. Waco Horror redirects to this page already, so we can't merge this page to it. The point is, there are plenty of people who didn't achieve anything great in their lifetimes, but whose deaths were extremely notable and historically important. Jesse Washington is one such person, so his page should remain. I just looked him up the other day, and I can't believe I'm the only one.QuizzicalBee (talk) 04:31, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep: I really enjoyed the entry (from a historical point of view) and believe it is well written, present a notable event and person and has the beginning of some good reference material. Royalhistorian (talk) 06:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
