Article issues[edit]

A 2007 article with 157 edits and a problem that should be self-evident. The article has zero citations having three links in the "External links" section apparently as source. Many articles seem to have started out this way, because there is not a lot of mention on Wikipedia about citing sources or NPOV but, of the three two are photographs. One is a NY Daily News article that would certainly be considered reliable. A problem is that even sourced it is still questionable if this article passes the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. It does have a couple of interesting trivia mentions.

As it stands now, in the present condition and lack of verification, and the only infamy being a string of murders and a subject being put to death, there has surely not been any interest in sourcing the article or expanding it. The notability of the subject is questioned.

Does this string of actions, being murders and an execution, actually propel the subject to be more notable than Louis Wolfson, Edward Kurpewski, Daniel Janowski, Samuel Cohn, John M. Rosenthal, and Bernard "Buster" Speyer and Ruth Speyer. These are victims and if the "events" were notable enough why not name the article something like the Mad Dog Murders.
