• Keep together with pictures... user:ipernar

• Non-notable murder case, unfortunately. RickK 21:30, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Don't Delete. A brilliant article. --Heywood Jablomie 22:40, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Another invalid vote by this anon. RickK 23:05, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but hardly a brilliant article — badly needs cleaning up , google shows this is a significant case --TimPope 22:35, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep because his execution was part of the reason Florida abandoned the electric chair. Even if the murder was not "notable" ("notable" in quotes because murders are devastating to those concerned), the execution was. Sjakkalle 07:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but rename - article name should reflect that Florida abandoned the chair. Radiant_* 09:34, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep and expand, do not retitle. The article content, not its title, should reflect the influence this case had on Florida's elimination of the electric chair. Barno 17:19, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable murder. Klonimus 02:41, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - and by the way, here's a little slap on the wrist to each of you...it is irresponsible of you all to have left this article in its condition all this time without wikifying it or copy editing it or at least marking it with a cleanup tag. Just because something is on the VfD list doesn't mean you can't fix up the article to meet Wikipedia standards. Kingturtle 19:32, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
  • P.S. FUTHERMORE!! Less than 24 hours after this article was nominated for VfD, User:131.111.8.98 removed the VfD tag from the article! Please keep closer tabs on these things. For example, i think it is a good pracice for those who nominate an article for VfD to also add that article to his/her watchlist to insure tags are not removed. Kingturtle 19:46, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
