VfD failed per Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Brian_Blackwell. --Woohookitty 9 July 2005 08:23 (UTC)
- I still don't see this guy's notability. He's a psycho and killed his parents. That's it. And he got his face in the papers. So what? JFW | T@lk 19:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

- Why are you arguing with a new user after the VFD failed? Joaquin Murietta 15:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Well when you put it up for deletion it was voted to be kept, so I don't see the point in still debating about it's notability. I see it's even made your user page as 'VFD in a while'. Is it really the worst thing on here? I've seen so many pages of way less notability than this one. Candice 02:17, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- You're allowed to disagree with me, but some things shouldn't be here. Call me a deletionist. You are correct that episode lists of marginally notable TV series are also not very encyclopedic. JFW | T@lk 11:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with you that episode lists of marginally notable TV series are not very encyclopedic. The only one I've contributed to is notable - it's the most famous show in British TV history, the longest running soap opera in the world outside America, the number 1 show in the British TV ratings again in it's 45th year and I thought it would be nice to help someone pad it out a bit. But I guess if 30 year old Vangelis albums are considered encyclopedic, almost everything has a case to stay. Candice 11:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
A lot more people care about Vangelis' old albums than about Brian Blackwell. Honestly. PS that comment about episode lists was not aimed at you; in fact, I was not aware you'd made that contribution. I was just mentioning another recent pet peeve of mine. JFW | T@lk 00:18, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- I'm sure they do, but this was voted to stay so I don't know what else I can say. You're a moderator so if you have the power to delete it and don't want it to stay, I won't mind Candice 00:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
Ohh, I just realised you'd created this article. OK. Right. Of course I will not delete the article - that would be abuse of power. JFW | T@lk 00:54, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

- That's rude. Shame on you Herr Doctor Wolff!! Joaquin Murietta 15:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- To be honest I was at work one day and our system was down so we were waiting for it to be started up and I was just surfing the net in the meantime. I had used Wikipedia before but never started an article and this story was all over the front page of a few papers so thought I would try starting a page and as this was recent news it probably was something that was not on here yet. Maybe I could have read the guidelines a bit closer before starting though and I will in future make sure it's perhaps more clearly notable :) Candice 01:29, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

- Your article is fine. Some of us like True Crime Articles. Joaquin Murietta 15:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- I came across this article because of a new article on Amal Saba. (There was no point in having an article dedicated to Saba so I redirected that article here.) Having looked at the Blackwell article and various press sources (BBC, London Times, Guardian, etc.) I saw no bias in Candice's writing. Since Robchurch made no comment as to why he tagged it for POV in the first place, I removed the tag. --Wine Guy 09:11, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Brian Blackwell is a valid subject for an encyclopaedia if only because his is the only case in English legal history where a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder has been accepted as a valid defence to murder - this means that whatever peoples views about him may be he is not a murderer - I have edited the article to remove the references to him being a murderer. You may disagree with this but Wikipedia is a forum of fact and not opinion. user:badtypist
