Article issues
[edit]- I removed a link (General reference") that was a search page having nothing to do with the article or subjects. I also removed an Amnesty International link, that also had absolutely nothing to do with the subject, and appears to be a biased addition against the death penalty. I changed the "Citations" tag to "Noref" (as there was none) and added the "notability" tag.
- A search found little but did turn up information on a Douglas Hamlet, Franklin Thomas, and David Collins along with a Glen Ashby. This source appears to be related but there is confusion as to David Thomas, that appears to be the same person listed as David Collins, or I might have added the source to the article. Since the two removed sources had zero to do with either subject I would have to dig further to see if the article title is misnamed. At any rate there is ample justification to question the WP:notability of the subject(s).
- The above source titled Caribbean-Human Rights: The Lull in Hangings Is Over discusses an apparent injustice concerning executions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago, as well as and giving a possible lead-in for content concerning Amnesty International. Concerning the "David" in the article a source states "...on February 13, 1995, along with two other murder convicts, Collins was hanged..." and seems indicative that there is confusion concerning the names.
- It would be interesting to find a 2008 unsourced but very "stable" and long term article that might be wrong. Good reason to source content right?
- I would suggest this be looked at and someone consider an appropriate title concerning "Executions in the Caribbean" (including Trinidad and Tobago) or "Executions in St. Vincent and the Grenadines", instead of what is apparently inappropriately presented and possibly wrongly titled, be it by AFD or RM, or find some source to corroborate that there was in fact a Franklin and David "Thomas" executed on the same day as David Collins.
- I would suggest finding secondary sources certainly not biased either way, to. The searchlight article lists a victim named Kenneth “Scholar” Michael. The article states the victim was "shot and killed" but Collin's "...life was snuffed out by the pull of a lever by the hangman...", which clearly shows evidence of WP:Bias with "words that may introduce bias". List of most recent executions by jurisdiction#North America and Caribbean might also be listing a wrong name as well as the Douglas Hamlet article. Otr500 (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
