Talk:Guantanamo Review Task Force

Untitled
The actual name of the task force doesn't include the word "Detainee". What is the procedure to change the name of the article? Guantanamo Review Task Force does not exist as an article. --Mnnlaxer (talk) 20:10, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Found out. Moved page. --Mnnlaxer (talk) 20:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

user:27.122.16.74 blanking the page
User:27.122.16.74, you've blanked the page a number of times with some explanation in the comments field that would be better expressed in talk.

You've also violated WP:3RR even after you've been warned.

Please discuss it here before you continue on. Logging in with a stable name would be nice as well.

Randy2063 why don't you discuss here where i have started a discussion a long time ago and i have told you that. Your behavior is very disruptive. 27.122.16.74 (talk) 14:25, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Your comment in GeoSwan's talk page didn't explain anything other than establish that you're not serious. Concerns about a specific article, particularly whether it should or should not exist, should be in this article's talk page.
 * The link you gave does not explain why this article should be deleted.

Not right. The explanation is there but i can write it here again for you.

"blank the page and redirect because the sources have been misinterpreted and mischaracterized, just have a look at the Washington post article"

It seems to me very odd that you do not address this. Do you have an opinion?

Have the sources been been misinterpreted and mischaracterized?

You agree or disagree with that? Have you read the Washington post article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.122.16.74 (talk) 14:53, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know that there are or aren't errors in this article. Since your intent was to remove this article, the main discussion is not whether something is wrong but whether or not this article should exist.
 * Your link clearly mentions the Guantanamo Review Task Force. Therefore, your source agrees that the task force exists, or did exist.
 * If the Guantanamo Review Task Force existed, and is sufficiently notable, there may be an article about it.
 * The only question then is whether it's sufficiently notable. At the moment, the consensus is that it is notable.
 * You can argue that in this talk page. I may or may not agree with you, but we need to discuss it first.  And for that, you have to explain why you think it's not notable.

Randy2063 who are you? A military contractor? (joke) I have given you the reason and arguments. It does not make any sense to discuss something what is not in question. So could you kindly answer my questions so that we can make progress. Thank you 27.122.16.74 (talk) 15:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * If you've given real reasons, they haven't been made clear enough.
 * In what way is this source mischaracterized? Could you give a short quote from the source?
 * -- Randy2063 (talk) 15:16, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure, though i think all would be easier if you could give answers to easy questions. I do not even know if you completely read the Washington post article. Did you? So you think the article is not mischaracterized? So let's start with the headline. 27.122.16.74 (talk) 15:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)


 * In what way does the headline ("Most Guantanamo detainees low-level fighters, task force report says") suggest that this article should be deleted?
 * I don't think it's a controversial headline. Most of the detainees were not "high-value" detainees.  It's irrelevant, though.  The article itself doesn't go into that.
 * If you're going to delete the page then you need to explain why the article should be deleted. As it is, the headline says very clearly that this task force exists.

 * Publication of the names of the cleared*

On September 21, 2012, the United States Department of Justice published a list of the names of 55 Guantanamo captives who had been cleared for release. Danica Coto of the Associated Press reported that the publication of the names surprised human rights workers who had been seeking this information through Freedom of Information Act requests

Carol Rosenberg, writing in the Miami Herald, reported that State Department officials had confirmed a 56 man's name had been left off the list, even though he too had been cleared for release, because his name was under seal. She reported that now that the captives's names have been published, the secrecy agreement their lawyers signed would no longer prevent them from contacting third countries to seek asylum themselves.

Fausto Biloslavo, writing in the Italian newspaper Il Giornale told his readers about six Guantanamo captives, who had lived in Italy, and might be transferred to Italy. Those six men were Al Khadr Abdallah Muhammad Al-Yafi, Adel Bin Ahmed Bin Ibrahim Hkiml, Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi, Yunis Abdurrahman Shokuri, Abdul Bin Mohammed Bin Abess Ourgy, and Bensayah Belkacem.
