Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States death row inmates (2nd nomination)
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
