List of suspected members
We have a long list of alleged members, but the membership of only one name in this list is directly attested by a source. This is a serious WP:BLP hygiene risk. I propose culling this list down to just the one member, and allow additions only if they are explicitly verified. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 21:03, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps this source from 2012 can help:
 * It lists several people and gives some details on each of them. For each of the people listed in the cited sources there should at least be a stub article before they are added to the list. This is in keeping with articles being written before their notability can be assessed. Otherwise, what evidence is there that the listed of people even exist? Advice at WP:BLPREMOVE is to "Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that: [1.] is unsourced or poorly sourced;" Because of the risk of LIBEL I have cut the list to the names with cited sources and only linked known articles. If anybody wants to add another name they need to cite the source because the source above suggests the Obama administration didn't name everyone, but that doesn't mean Wikipedia can without being able to verify who did name them. Also, I have unlinked names without articles because in this situation articles need to be written, first, about these people, so Wikipedia editors should make stubs, first to test the people are sufficiently notable. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:00, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
