Keep. That guideline is really referring to WP:ONEEVENT. It's not intended to block all articles about criminals. Jackson was a notorious gang leader who was known for his many crimes over an extended period of time. Pburka (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep — again, i don't see how you're reading the notability guideline. there is not a single crime that made this person notable. he was involved in many ongoing crimes, as attested to by numerous reliable sources, cited in the actual article. herbert asbury, the encyclopedia of crime, and the montreal gazette aren't enough for you? — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 18:05, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Refer to this and read the articles. Well documented historical events satisfy WP:CRIME, perpetrators section, #2 - "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role."

Keep, numerous sources establish the subject's notability. --Nuujinn (talk) 11:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
