Following the talk, do you really think Wendell Grissom's article was necessary? I have a feeling that Inexpiable will delete this article pursuant to WP:Notability, but I certainly see that it has met some criteria's in that.

I'd suggest that this article to temporarily move to draftspace before making plans on creating such article.

@TheCheapTalker How can you say this article is not notable ? Afro 📢Talk! 15:22, 30 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I am referring to the talk page above that I've linked it, please check out what I've send. Besides, I won't be the ones that is responsible on deleting article, I'm just asking through this discussion and what could be made.

"Yeah, I get you, but I'm still asking — how is Wendell Grissom not considered notable? His case has been making headlines since 2008." Afro 📢Talk! 16:01, 30 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I don't believe this article was needed but detail and effort has clearly gone into creating it so based on that I would support it staying. Not every person executed needs a Wikipedia article though. Inexpiable (talk) 22:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Inexpiable I agree with you on the statement Not every person executed needs a Wikipedia. I didn't create the article because of the execution; it was created due to the continuous headlines. It made headlines in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2024, and now again in 2025." Afro 📢Talk! 22:25, 2 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Inexpiable. I understand the POV of Inexpiable, and I find there was not much reasons for me to create it, unless the crime itself was so heinous enough or reached at least one tier of the notability criteria. Because of this, I actually abandoned my original plan to write about this case. But still, the article was quite decent and I could still consider give it a chance.
