Talk:Massachusetts Correctional Institution – Shirley

Untitled

I think it's fairly common-place for articles on prisons to list the current and past inmates, it's just a way of "spicing up" (horrible term) the article for somebody reading the article. They see that Alexandria City Jail has housed John Walker Lindh, or that Goulburn Correctional Centre holds John Travers or that Sing Sing once held Albert Fish.

Well and good, and possibly it would wash if Junta's inmatehood was a notable fact or if Junta was himself noteworthy beyond being a guy who killed someone in a brawl during a slow week for the national wire services. Or if in fact you didn't yourself create the MCI-Shirley article after creating the Junta article. RGTraynor 20:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Yup, it was a redlink, so I made it into a stub - cheers for Wikipedia. You're welcome to nominate either article for deletion (I'd obviously personally vote Keep, but others might side with you), but as long as the articles exist, they should mention each other.
