List of prisoners with whole-life tariffs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Oh dear. Where should I begin with this? Firstly, there are several unsourced entries, and several people on this list are not notable/have no articles of their own. Some fall into both categories. Secondly, this list is entirely UK centred. Thirdly, I'm failing to see how this is anything other than WP:LISTCRUFT. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 17:52, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep And clean-up. Remove anything unsourced (shouldn't be that difficult to find a WP:RS for any entry here). So what if several people don't have their own article? See WP:SAL for more. If it's UK-centric, then a simple re-name of the article is needed. Being handed a whole-life tariff is quite notable in its own right.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 19:11, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup as necessary per Lugnuts. Of course this is UK-centric. Whole-life tariffs are a UK feature. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Lugnuts. Regarding the fact that some people on the list do not have an article, I would say such a list is appropriate for summarising the cases of those offenders who do not meet the notability requirements for having a separate article, per the one-event exception described in WP:LISTPEOPLE. Perhaps a rename would help clarify it is UK-centric, but the first paragraph makes that clear. I would oppose exapnding the scope of the article since each country has its own procedures surrounding life imprisonment. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:53, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
