[edit] Richard Sacci

• Keep. There's lots of Category:Mass murderers here, so the quantity is notable. The article needs details (how many in the family?) and references, tho. -- Mikeblas 08:14, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'd still lean towards deletion for not being exceptional enough to merit an article, but since the correctly-spelled name does turn up some legitimate press as per Sliggy I can live with a Move to Richard Sacchi. Hirudo 15:31, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I think this person's name might be misspelt. A google on Richard Sacci only turns up this article plus copies. A google on Richard Sacchi turns up some external news reports/references. Also, the Wikipedia article on Eastchester (CDP), New York (where the murders took place) spells the name with an "h". In any case, I agree that this article needs more details and some references.

  Delete on reflection, as there are hardly any sources even for the Sacchi spelling, and those that are available are woefully short on detail (all agree that his grandmother and one cop were murdered, but no other details are given). Also, having read User:JzG's comments below I think nothing would be lost if this was done away with. Sliggy 18:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless someone can be bothered to fix the fact that it is mis-spelled, written in unencyclopaedic tones, unreferenced, contains speculation and is pretty much a stub. I don't doubt the subject is real, but there is no need to keep its seat warm until somoene comes along with a good article, and why should I care enough to do that if the creator didn't?

• Delete, belongs on Wikinews and we can't transwiki, stupid laws... Stifle 14:43, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
