Deletion of List of United States death row inmates (2nd nomination)

Comment: A cleary notable topic with clear inclusion criteria for a list. If it is "outdated" as the nom states, then maybe they'd like to |fix it

Comment: Sloppy or inferential referencing seems contrary to . The Idaho names are still only referenced in many cases to a state database which says they were convicted for first degree murder. That does not automatically equal a death sentence. Absent a current reference saying they are under a death sentence, shouldn't the Idaho names be removed? If such a ref is "easy to find" then please find it, or I will remove the Idaho names lacking the necessary refs. Lots of editors "like" this list, few seem to have time or inclination to do the necessary maintenance, leaving BLP violations

Comment: as this is certainly a legitimate encyclopedic topic in my opinion.  Rather than nominating something notable for deletion because it has shortcomings, why not instead channel that energy toward improving the list, as so wisely recommended at

Comment: A category would make more sense. Not every person on death row in the US has notability to satisfy . A complete listing of this sort is probably not published or maintained by any reliable secondary source; it is just a hodgepodge of information likely to become stale, since it is from primary sources. It is full of  violations at present, in which numerous living persons are said to be convicted murderers, without any reference at all to verify the fact. In a list of thousands of such names, many high school students will add their Principal or math teacher's name with lurid crimes claimed. Even for actual killers, Wikipedia is not a collection of miscellaneous information, and not a directory. If persons now on death row in the US are notable enough for a list, then so is everyone ever executed in any country, since notability is not temporary, and since they would at one time have been on some "death row." The silliness of such a list shows what is wrong with this one

Comment: I started trying to clean the article of BLP violations in the form of names with no references. It is a nightmare of BLP violations. Many names were unsourced, so I removed them. The ones for Connecticut are at least linked to an article specific to Connecticut, but present ref 19 in the Connecticut article is an AOL story which is a deadlink, and it is the only source for most of the names. To make it worse, and really demonstrate why this article should be deleted, one of the names in the present article is different from the name in the Connecticut list. The Connecticut list seems to be right in listing Eduardo Santiago jr, but the remaining ref, a news article just says the jury recommended the death penalty, not that it was imposed. Then this article has a completely different name for the same murder, which name is not mentioned in the news article. If it this messed up with these few names, it will be a complete and gross BLP vio when another 3000 names are added. Do not expect someone else to spend hundreds of hours a year trying to update it as people get new trials or pardons. When a name is linked to a news story, it is very likely to go dead during the 15 years or more the person remains on death row. I do not feel that I am required to search for sources before removing an unreferenced name;  does not require that, and it would be a huge task. I will list these two articles (national and Connecticut) at the BLP noticeboard so more editors can work on correcting the BLP violations
