  • Delete - Of course he'll come up in news reports, which will be unavailable in a couple of weeks, but I can't see what makes him notable - petty drug dealer, murderer - Delete, otherwise we'll need an article for every single felon in the world. Camillus (talk) 17:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - He's mainly known for causing an interstate manhunt and for being covered as an example of New Orleans's issues and Hurricane Katrina crime in Houston. Petty is defined by Merriam-Webster as "2  : having little or no importance or significance" [1] - For several months Houston police aggressively tried to find this guy. Also Harris was sentenced in a federal court. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree that this article seems to have reached a nationwide notability and is relevant on the problems brought on the Katrina situation and the crime that ensued in various cities. --Hourick (talk) 17:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
