Article issues including notability edit

This is an article about a convicted child killer that was executed. Since 2006 it has occupied a place on Wikipedia while having no encyclopedic value. Gruesome murders are horrible, and killing children especially heinous. This does not mean a perpetrator should be immortalized with an article that has no references. The execution was listed as:

  • 44th murderer executed in U.S. in 2003
  • 864th murderer executed in U.S. since 1976
  • 1st murderer executed in Arkansas in 2003
  • 25th murderer executed in Arkansas since 1976
There is nothing "worthy of note" about the above allowing inclusion on Wikipedia. Otr500 (talk) 10:06, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Last meal edit

I have seen the last meal listed in many "execution" articles and would like to know the encyclopedic value of:

  • "His Final meal was Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, hot rolls, a green garden salad with ranch dressing, Kool-Aid and cookies.". Otr500 (talk) 10:10, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
