This is a criminal/victim issue with obvious WP:BLP1E issues. Victim was already at AfD, so I'm listing the criminal too.

Any notability this might have seems to be based on the novelty of the execution (second "modern" execution in TN), and that's better under an overall article on capital punishment in Tennessee. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:15, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Subject has enough notability to have a page. Vincelord (talk) 15:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Summarize & Merge into a new article Rape and murder of Suzanne Marie Collins. The crime has received significant coverage sufficient to warrant WP:GNG, even if the victim is not notable herself. Furthermore the now executed perpetrator of the crime is only notable per one event, and thus falls under WP:BLP1E. Therefore the article should be renamed, and the focus of the article should be about the murder, trial, conviction, and later execution of the convicted murderer rather than the subject himself.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Summarize & Merge I concur with RightCowLeftCoast. I'm the original creator of both this article and the Suzanne Marie Collins article. I think the two articles should be merged and renamed, as RCLC stated, and redirects created so that people searching for either person will be taken to the combined article.Martylunsford (talk) 00:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
