Deletion of Tyrone Delano Gilliam, Jr.

Comment: There is a very interesting factoid in the Washington Post related to this person that should be noted in Parris Glendening and/or Capital punishment in Maryland (i.e. Glendening issued a moratorium on executions after all four of the capital punishment cases he had to address involved black on white crime)http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/17/AR2005121700944.html - but I'm not certain that there is anything reflecting coverage that would take this out of #NEWS. I'm going to abstain for a bit to give other interested parties time to dig up something more than regional coverage of this

Comment: First, the policy  does not apply to this individual for the simple fact that he is dead. Second, the guideline of  does not apply as the article is about multiple events: crime, trial, appeals, execution. This is multiple events. Third,  we have a guideline specifically for crimes: /CA. Finally, there is currently an RfC ongoing about notability and executed individuals. As I have forwarded in numerous AfD and the mentioned RfC,"ordinary" murderers are not executed. It is only the extraordinary ones that are executed.  There has been a total of 1,173 executions since 1976. It is only 2.5% of convicted murderers that are sentenced to death and only a fraction of those sentenced to death actually get executed. Every executed convict since ''Furman'' has received significant coverage in the news media. This includes the crime, the trial, and ultimately the execution. This individual fits this category. He has had "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." He is therefore notable under our guideline and should be included

Comment: basically per Nolamgm. While I appreciate and agree that  would suggest that this article ought not be here, this case is different. The point about the executions in the United States is well-taken - I believe that the majority of cases that proceed to execution will have sufficient available information from reliable sources to justify an article. Particularly here, where there is so much coverage from the Washinton D.C. press corps, it seems overly rigid to delete. Like Nolamgm I have access to a pay database, and I can confirm that the  bulk of these articles are substantial treatments of various aspects of the case. The execution did get some very brief international mention in Germany (AP feed)  and The Netherlands (50 word summary
