 * Keep. The subject was recently featured on Dateline NBC and his received coverage from America's Most Wanted, CBS, ABC and Huffington Post, as well as various national and international sources. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BIO due to significant coverage in independent reliable sources. I am OK with a rename if that helps to satisfy WP:BLP1E concerns, however, I'm not sure how that is done for serial killers. Location (talk) 02:41, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep I would argue strongly that WP:ONEVENT doesn't apply here. Serial murders, on the whole, tend to be fairly significant and the murderers themselves have a highly significant role in the event (I'm also not sure that a series of murders can be considered a single 'event') Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 11:31, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
