Article issues including notability

[edit]

An unreferenced article about a founding member of a street gang who committed murder and was executed. The article is not notable.

No person named Nicholas Saul was convicted or executed for the murder of Charles Baxter. According to every newspaper article written at the time, William Saul and Nicholas Howlett were convicted and executed for that crime. This article is so poorly sourced that it should be deleted.

I share this concern of the notability of this subject. In a 1853 New York Times article, the reporter refers to "The Confession of William Saul and Nicholas Howlett, concerning the Murder of Charles Baxter". The New York Times. 24 January 1853. p. 5.. There is a chance the first names of Saul and Howlett were incorrectly attributed. With no future evidence, this claim cannot be proven. DutchTreat (talk) 11:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
