See WP:BLP1E. Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. This person has no historical significance that would merit an article, nor are there any truly biographical sources (where he, rather than the one event he gained notoriety for, is the subject of the source). He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. But Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Delete. Dominic·t 10:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. The murder has been referred to as one of the most "notorious" crimes in Cardiff and the south of Wales and the perp was one of a relatively small number to receive a whole life tariff, however, the nom is correct in this case in that there has been no widespread or lasting coverage of the perp or the event.

 * Delete: Per WP:BLP1E. Joe Chill (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. This has a slightly better claim than the standard WP:NOTNEWS case, but I don't think we should be giving Wikipedia pages to the top 50 most brutal and imprisonable murderers. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:45, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, seems a pretty clear BLP1E. Not a biography, not an encyclopedia article, really. --Stormie (talk) 06:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
