Nathan Lee (murderer)

Seems to be notable for only one thing — that he was the last person hanged in Texas. Is that alone enough? (And why is the article at "Nathan Lee (murderer)" when there are no other Nathan Lees with articles?) Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — TPH is correct: this is not a significant accomplishment. The subject seems not to enjoy significant coverage along the lines of WP:GNG, nor have any accomplishments that actually indicate WP:ANYBIO, either. This subject is/was not terribly well-known, and being last in history for the location and method of execution is simply trivial. JFHJr (㊟) 00:39, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The last person hanged in the United States would probably be notable for that reason, if we could figure out who that was. Actually it would be the event, rather than the person, that would be notable. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 01:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:PERP. No need for merge/redirect in that the title makes this an unlikely search term and everything in the article is already in Capital punishment in Texas. Location (talk) 00:43, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:PERF and WP:GNG; this is not a significant accomplishment. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not a notable person or accomplishment. Seems to be a run-of-the-mill murderer—if there is such a thing. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 01:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - per WP:BEFORE, if somebody can add more information about his life and crimes, it would be enough to keep. Bearian (talk) 20:56, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
