Deletion of Jeffrey Landrigan

Comment: I agree that it is the subject's execution - which has received national coverage in all the major media outlets, as well as international coverage - and not his crime that make him notable. Passes /: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." With that said, I do believe there needs to be further discussion in a proper forum regarding the application of , what is "routine news coverage", and how much consideration is given to news sources in biographies of criminals and political candidates

Comment: If they don't know which company supplied it, you can hardly say "actions of foreign powers". A chemical company is not a foreign power, no matter how big it might be. You also say it is not illegal for EU nations to export this chemical to non-EU nations. Unless I've missed some news, the USA is a non-EU nation. Therefore, there was no need for any EU  government to know about the export. Also, you state at one point that the chemical 'came' from 'Great Britain'. Great Britain is not a member of the EU. The United Kingdom is. Then again, you say later 'may have come from'. I have tagged both these conflicting statements as needing citation. You say "EU have made it clear that they do not want to contribute any of the drugs used in US executions" - you also say it is not illegal. "Instead it is on a list of essential drugs of the World Health Organisation used widely, for anesthesia, induced comas and psychiatry" is a quote from the eubusiness reference you give. Thiopental is still used in hospitals but other methods are now preferred in many. See Sodium thiopental.  There is a lot of confusion in the article, and I still think a |POINT is being made, or there is soapboxing here. Wikipedia is not the place to put articles that are not encyclopaedic, and I fear that this one is near to or over the boundary
