[edit] Edward Hartman

Delete Not a particularly noteworthy criminal. Nothing unusual or novel about the trial or the crime. Unless we're going to include in Wikipedia an article for every single person executed in the United States since 1976 I can't see any reason whatsoever to have an article on him, and frankly inclusion on such a basis would in my opinion be a violation of WP:BIAS since including every person executed for a crime anywhere in the world would clearly be unencyclopedic. At the very least, merge into an expanded List of individuals executed in North Carolina that would also include the birth dates and a link to external info specific to this murderer.

• Keep, expanded. Notable because of the specifics of his clemency arguments (discrimination on the basis of sexuality). Chick Bowen 21:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I agree with Chick Bowen Gugganij 11:52, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, one of the better "executed criminals" stubs. Kusma (talk) 23:01, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
