It's just a little too obvious, given the timing of the article's creation and its overall lack of biographical substance, that it was created because he is a convicted murderer and that the other basis for notability is merely a cover. As such, I added a category to reflect that. Also, someone added a citation to an AP story published today, which was yet another example of dumping URLs into the encyclopedia instead of adding a source intended to help build the article and the encyclopedia in general. If you didn't actually read that story, it refers to him as "Desimone" while the article title says "DeSimone". Addtionally, the source states "Desimone resigned from the Arizona House in 2008, during his first term, after being arrested in a domestic dispute with his then-wife. That case later was dropped.", which is quite a world away from "He was unsuccessful in his bid for re-election in 2008." I thought we were supposed to follow the sources and avoid OR and synth.
