I don't think this person meets WP:CRIME or WP:DIPLOMAT. Though the article is well-sourced, he is not notable for his diplomatic duties, and his crime was not a "well-documented historical event" and has not made him a "renowned national or international figure". — Mr. Stradivarius on tour  (have a chat) 01:44, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. I've just realised that I made a mistake in my nomination statement - the mention of "renowned national or international figure" in WP:CRIME actually refers to the victim, not the perpetrator. Still, that doesn't alter the fact that I don't think the subject passes WP:CRIME. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 15:15, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete This seems to be a minor criminal who got arrested. Seems like WP:ONEEVENT to me. There's nothing much out there to write a half-decent bio, so I'm inclined to agree with the nom.  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 08:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
