Criminal who fails Wikipedia's notability guideline for criminals. Notability rests on one event and thus not suitable candidate for an article. Claritas § 16:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep (article creator). Not sure if it's worth commenting as the creator, but I would argue that the fact that he is the last person executed by Belize makes him notable for "something beyond the crime itself", which is #1 in WP:PERP. Although technically possible, it is highly unlikely that Belize will ever execute someone again, so Bowers will likely be the last. He is mentioned in numerous sources as the most recent person executed by Belize. If Belize were executing people frequently I would agree with Armbrust (above), but that doesn't seem to be the case nor does it seem likely to become the case. It's been 25 years with no executions there, and lately Belize has been beginning to make some moves towards abolishing capital punishment. Good Ol’factory (talk) 12:53, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree with Good Ol’factory. Last execution in Belize should be notable--it's a once-in-twenty-five years event Vrivers (talk) 11:01, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
