I believe Pres. Benito Juarez of Mexico should be added to the list. See http://www.banxico.org.mx/billetes-y-monedas/informacion-general/billetes-y-monedas-de-fabricacion-actual/billete-de-20-pesos/elementos-de-diseno/benito-juarez--march-21-1806-.html Daniel Sparkman (talk) 16:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NeilN is claiming my adding Lester Coleman to this list is "disruptive editing[edit]

Since when is adding a refugee to this list disruptive editing?

Since when you're adding false information as Coleman and his sock/meat puppets have tried to do for years. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 14:16, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

A WP editor recently deleted several entries on the grounds that the individuals in question didn't have WP biographies. But the guidelines surrounding WP biographies of living persons explicitly discourage writing biographies of individuals whose lives are only notable in relation to a single news item (e.g., being granted asylum). This in no way diminishes the significance of their being granted asylum. Ross Fraser (talk) 02:55, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably I should check this more carefully. I agree that the list should include people who are notable specifically for granting their asylum - as covered in multiple sources. However, I do not think this list should include all notable people who were ever granted asylum. That would be a very long list. My very best wishes (talk) 12:51, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that the list can't be comprehensive (most WP lists can't be comprehensive) but some of the entries you deleted are certainly notable in their own right. I doubt many Americans are aware that a native born American citizen, who was a convicted sex criminal in the US, recently sought and was granted refugee status in another G7 country, not in spite of, but because of her conviction (Denise Harvey). Or that an American accused of kidnapping her own parents would be granted asylum in Costa Rica over perceived miscarriage of justice in relation to domestic violence. These are interesting cases and are a counterpoint to the stereotypical image of asylum seekers escaping political persecution in third-world countries. Suren Gazaryan is a Goldman Prize winner and should have a WP:Bio. Don't know much about Savva Terentyev, but there have only been a handful of cases of people being granted asylum because of their Internet blogging. Also not sure why you want multiple sources as a national news organization is usually sufficient: nevertheless, I've added several more sources for Denise Harvey.

OK then, but one should explain on this page why exactly certain immigration case "X" was notable, especially if we do not have a BLP page about this person. My very best wishes (talk) 04:02, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

distinguish this page from list of refugees[edit]

The way I interpret the collection of people in this article is that those listed here became refugees/sought asylum because of their prior actions. They became refugees because they were a public figure.

The way I interpret the page list of refugees is that people listed there became public figures despite and after having been a refugee.

Does that make sense to other people? Could this be used to distinguish these two articles which are otherwise duplicates? Am I saying the obvious? If yes, it wasn't made clear enough.Michtrich (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
