Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Barnard (executioner)
Notability cannot be judged simply by looking at the sources cited in an article, which two of the three delete arguments here are based on. There are several sources that discuss the subject to some extent that are not currently cited in the article: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4ZUlAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT7&lpg=PT7&dq=%22Chris+Barnard%22+execution&source=bl&ots=f3jKU7Ip0_&sig=ACfU3U03wJnk6neySUAVxCZSERdF5LrJNw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSw6m7kKDkAhUMPVAKHXApBZs4ChDoATAEegQICRAB#v=onepage&q=%22Chris%20Barnard%22%20execution&f=false, http://www.justice.gov.za/trc/special/prison/mcbride.htm, http://www.executedtoday.com/tag/pretoria-central-prison/, https://www.iol.co.za/saturday-star/inside-sas-factory-of-death-1197003, "Final 52 Steps to Ending a Life", ''Pretoria News'' (accessible via PressReader - states Barnard was the longest-serving executioner, executed more than 1,500 people, and offered his services to neighbouring countries). Maybe not sufficient to satisfy , but if we had a guideline for notability of (legalized) killers, a tally of 1,500 would probably be seen as significant enough
