 * Keep That one reference has a large / substantial 1947 newspaper article on him in it. Specifics indicate RW notability and an near-certainty of there being other sources.   Very brief encyclopedic article.  North8000 (talk) 01:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A state's executioner would seem to me to be notable. Deletion needs a better rationale than the highly subjective "non-notable person". -- Necrothesp (talk) 02:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - There is this Tulsa World article. Some lighter coverage from 1979, coverage in this book.  Not availabel for preview but the search snippet reads "This was Mr. Rich Owens, whose place in hanging history is safe because of one thing: he ..." from this book. -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
