Talk:Adil al-Nusayri

fix category -- see talk
Someone put this guy in the category Category:Saudi Arabian terrorists. I have removed him. There are no references to support inclusion in this category in the article.

I have no objection to adding him, or any other Saudi, to this category, provided there are references to substantiate it. But, I believe, it is against policy to add articles to categories when the relationship between article and category can't be determined from the text of the article.

 * Sorry for my mistakes, i was just trying to sort the Root category of Saudi Arabian People by occupation. i couldnt find a better category for guantanamo prisoners but this one. Ammar  (Talk - Don't Talk) 15:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names
I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.

People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.

And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.

Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.

Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

NPOV
Someone placed an NPOV tag on this article. Those tags tell readers to look to the talk page for an explanation of the tag. Whoever placed it did not do so in this particular case. If no one is prepared to explain the tag, I believe it should be removed.
