Fails WP:NOTE. CorenSearchBot has already tagged article for potential copyvio. Taroaldo (talk) 09:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * In terms of notability, I would call this clearly notable. It is a supermax security prison in Illinois', and houses the state's death chamber. But if there is a copyvio, then it needs to be deleted and recreated later. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I have gone ahead and replaced the entire text with a stub article which is severely underdeveloped, but which should be valid. Keep.Sjakkalle (Check!)  10:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Sjakkalle's WP:HEY. Supermax facilities are almost always going to be notable due to the notoriety of the prisoners. --Dhartung | Talk 10:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep given the new text. Good work Sjakkalle.  Tim (Xevious) (talk) 12:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable subject, copy-vio tanken care of.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep per the lurking cube. Blaxthos ( t / c ) 14:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, and suspect this may be a snowballer. I suspect that generically, prisons are very likely to be the subject of third party commentary in reliable sources, and therefore are probably inherently notable. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - clearly notable, and much better without the copyvio. KnightLago (talk) 14:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdraw Upon further consideration, and given changes made up to now. --- Taroaldo (talk) 15:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
