Talk:People linked to Anwar al-Awlaki

CSMA
Members of the CSMA (Congressional Muslim Staffers Association) who attended Anwar al-Awlaki's prayer group earlier in this decade. In particular Council_on_American-Islamic_Relations's Nihad Awad and Islamic terrorist recruiter Randall Royer. This story (clear video evidence) has been out for a couple months. Yesterday it came as revelation to many readers of Human Events, which has an article by a co-author of a Sept 13, 2010 report delivered at a Capitol Hill press conference. Links:

 * Sept. 16 article by Patrick Poole

Poor article
This is a bad idea for an article as its criteria are not clear - will every misfit who claims to be inspired by Al-Alwaki be listed here? One man was covered only by a local county newspaper. Most of this information is covered in the main article on al-Alwaki and the major actors in events related to him. Others may not be worth covering at all, even if arrested. Every arrest does not deserve a Wikipedia article. Trying to maintain this article in addition to the main biography articles on different subjects means that it will be difficult for articles to be accurate - this one had not even been updated to reflect Al-Alwaki being assassinated in September 2011.

I think this article should be deleted altogether. There is little new information in it to convey why Al-Alwaki was so effective. Similar to the rules on "Notable natives and residents" of towns, if individuals are not significant enough to have earned their own articles, they should not be lumped together here. And if they are, they can be linked through categorization, not another article that adds little to knowledge.Parkwells (talk) 21:27, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

References to Main articles
There should be less material here from Main articles that are fully covered elsewhere. Only material from the Leads should be used.Parkwells (talk) 21:45, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned references in People linked to Anwar al-Awlaki
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of People linked to Anwar al-Awlaki's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "st": From Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab:  From Northwest Airlines Flight 253: "On the rubble-strewn outskirts of Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, is a religious university, al-Eman, notorious among US intelligence officials for its suspected links to terrorism." From Anwar al-Aulaqi:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 21:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
