message: Okay, so there may not have been any lynchings as such, but what should we take from the phrase "first person LEGALLY executed in the United States after the death penalty was reinstated in 1976"?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.150.236 (talk) 11:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: We all know trivia sections are discouraged, and in this particular instance, it seems really out of place, more so than normal. Any objections to just deleting the whole thing? Better yet, move some of it to a "reactions" section. StaticElectric (talk) 08:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A huge portion of this article has been tagged as uncited for over 9 months. If assertions are not cited then they are subject to deletion. I would not like to see that happen but assertions must be cited. If you have an interest, please review the article correct the citations as you can. Veriss (talk) 06:01, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  At least 60% of this article is uncited 

message: At the time of his execution I recall reading in at least one news periodical that Gilmore was a "former [U.S.] Marine", but further details lacked. (The U.S. still had conscription when he came of age.) Worth investigating this claim, those with access to better sources than I.Cloptonson (talk) 22:26, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Do we have any better citations about Gilmore's diagnoses than a broken link to a TV show?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:a000:122d:d:ac0b:28fc:1db2:51fa (talk) 18:37, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The basic way criminals are dealt with in popular culture is to humanize the criminal while ignoring the crime victim.   Here, weren't the victims equally human and important, but it is only the murderer who gets all the attention.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.152.216.213 (talk) 05:07, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Gary Gilmore (criminal) →  – Per Wikipedia:Primary topic. Clearly this Gary Gilmore is the primary topic. His infamous story and case is an important part of United States history. No other Gary Gilmore on the current disambiguation article comes even close to his level of notability. I think we should rename this article to Gary Gilmore and rename the current Gary Gilmore article to Gary Gilmore (disambiguation). Similar with how the George Floyd articles have been handled following Wikipedia:Primary Topic. Inexpiable (talk) 14:18, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
