See WP:BLP1E. This person has no historical significance warranting 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). Wikipedia shouldn't be a publisher of true crime accounts. He committed a murder that was briefly the subject of news reports, and that is all. However, Wikipedia is not a newspaper.

 * Delete the only notability claim is that the rape he was convicted of was at one time attributed to Ted Bundy. That mistake by the authorities does not make him notable.   GB fan  talk 02:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E. I assume he's already mentioned on Ted Bundy which doesn't really leave anything left to merge. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, as above (adding my voice in the hope it will hasten a snowclose). --Paularblaster (talk) 19:15, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Though I was the author and main contributor of this article, I was not aware of the 1E policy at the time, but having now read it, I agree. GSMR (talk) 21:31, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - obvious BLP1E & the tenuous connection to Ted Bundy isn't nearly enough to raise the subject into notabliity - A l is o n  ❤ 05:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
