NOMINATED FOR DELETION: Shulman is not notable enough, and his crime not significant enough, to merit a wikipedia article. He is not, as per WP:BIO, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded".
Shulman did not commit any act of violence, but only predicted same.
As the Mother Jones article points out, Shulman did not threaten to harm anyone HIMSELF, but merely stated that SOMEONE would likely do so. His posts and phone calls were therefore not threats but warnings and predictions, although he pled guilty to one count of "threatening to injure another person" in order to get a lower sentence.
If we gave everyone who makes a threat or even everyone who pleads guilty to making a threat over the abortion issue their own wikipedia page, wikipedia would run out of storage space.
This article was nominated for deletion before and the decision was DELETE. Instead of using the WP: DELETE REVIEW process, which is the legitimate way to un-delete a deleted article, an editor has simply re-created another article with the same name, which is, according to my understanding, a no-no.

- Strong Keep A version of this article was deleted in 2011, but that was before sentencing. Several of the delete votes in that discussion mentioned that there might be enough coverage if the subject were to be convicted. The subject was convicted and there has subsequently been much more coverage. Since the previous deletion discussion, and used as references for the BLP, the subject has been covered in Mother Jones, the Viliage Voice, CNS News, NY Daily News, and he has been the subject of press releases from the Justice Department and the FBI. Though not used as sources for the BLP, the subject has also been covered by Staten Island Live, the Times Union, the Christian Post, North Iowa Today, CNA, First Things, and my very own KMSP. The subject passes the notability test with flying colors. Juno (talk) 10:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- The subject also got a shout out on CNN when they were discussing the possible use of Ricin by terrorists. Juno (talk) 11:48, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
