The result was keep. There seems to be a strong consensus that the article satisfies notability by being beyond a "standard" US execution, with a particular focus on the political and novelty issues, with the NOTNEWS criteria not being met.

Keep. Easily meets WP:GNG; worldwide and extensive coverage of the event in WP:RS, described as historic etc. by several sources. --Tataral (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG. ^Semi_Hypercube ✎ 22:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While I'm sympathetic to the idea that this might not have lasting notability given coverage and claims of being unusual in the drugs used there seems to be enough to suggest that WP:NOTNEWS is not correctly invoked here and should be kept since it does pass GNG.

Keep Meets WP:GNG and there are over 12 independent reliable sources cited within the article. Vwanweb (talk) 13:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with reworking. first execution using this method in the state - political issue since legislative attempt to ban the death penalty in the state in 2015 -- Callinus (talk) 15:00, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep by virtue of being pioneer one, it received great attention and there are clearly many reliable sources discussing the execution and the surrounding events not only in routine news report. –Ammarpad (talk) 21:44, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
