Notability

1. Legal dispute over less culpability resulting in a greater sentence and death sentence.

2. Worldwide reliable sources (UK, USA). Also Hawaii. This meets Wikipedia criteria.

3. TV show made about it (weak reason but contributing to added notability and people coming to Wikipedia to read about it)

4. Changed Ohio law.

5. Involves the youngest Ohio death row inmate so special interest.

If it were just some murder, I wouldn't write about it.

@Lakeshake: I can't find any deletion discuss or log questioning the notability here. Why are you defending what nobody seems to have questioned yet? Someone might question it in the future, but listing it prematurely seems like asking people to ask the question. If there is another discussion, could you link to it?

Wikipedia culture is such that "Murder of ---" articles will be tagged for AFD. Many of them aren't notable but this one is. What caught my eye is the extensive legal discussion in the Washington Post about this special case. If they didn't discuss that, I might not have realized this is an unusual murder from a legal perspective. Lakeshake (talk) 18:56, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BLP concerns?

@JudgeRM:: what were your BLP concerns? All of the facts mentioned currently are covered in the WaPo article (which oddly enough I just read before finding this while doing NPP). TonyBallioni (talk) 18:58, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The guy is dead, unfortunately. Is this a BDP? Lakeshake (talk) 18:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The concerns would be about the convicted perpetrators, I'm assuming. There were some POV descriptors of them that I tried to edit out, and am seeing if there are any more issues I might not have caught. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:00, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When I added the tags, it appeared that the sources were not, in fact, sourced, hence why I added the tag. If you feel that there is enough to suffice removal of the tag, then be my guest. JudgeRM (talk to me) 19:31, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
