Articles similar to Muieen_A_Deen_Jamal_A_Deen_Abd_Al_Fusal_Abd_Al_Sattar
Hello Geo Swan. I see you have been around for a while and work a lot on Guantanamo-related topics.

I randomly came across Muieen_A_Deen_Jamal_A_Deen_Abd_Al_Fusal_Abd_Al_Sattar and it seems to me this individual, and probably some others like him in Category:People_held_at_the_Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp, don't actually meet our notability guidelines. While they have indeed been mentioned in reliable sources, there is a lack of sustained, independent, reliable coverage that would cover them as individuals, notwithstanding the release of various information by the US DOE and its coverage in some special journalistic projects. Basically, while the situation of the Guantanamo detainees is clearly notable and deserves inclusion in the wikipedia, I feel that individuals like this one don't, unless they have a special "claim to fame".

Given you've put a lot of effort into this, and that it seems from your talk page that many of your articles on related but different topics have been PRODded or AFDed in the past, I don't want to barge in uninvited and throw this article into the maw of a deletion discussion process if a similar discussion has been had before. Could you perhaps point me to an AFD discussion (or similar) where a similar article - ideally also from Category:People_held_at_the_Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp, has been kept? I don't want to waste a whole lot of time and bytes by many people only to conclude that either I misunderstand the situation, or that my read of community expectations on notability are closer to yours than to mine!

 * Geo Swan, apologies for the automated Twinkle notification. This is of course in continuation 2 sections above. I noticed that you did't reply but have edited the article since then, so it seemed most expedient to bring this up for discussion at AFD. Martinp (talk) 05:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

BLP issues
I strongly suggest you stop working on BLP's at all until you agree to be mentored. The outcome of your RFC/U suggest that. I do not doubt your good faith but unfortunately you are creating a mess and it has become disruptive to the community to clean up after you. I would not mind if we do not talk about BLP's but we are talking about BLP's and we are taking these issues very serious.
 * Stop violating BLP by by adding primary source "crap" to BLP's as you have just done. The "image" violates BLP WP:MUG as it shows the individual in a false or disparaging light. Obviously not suitable to present the individual of a biography in that way. You clearly know about these issues and you have been warned by a large number of members of our community. Do listen to the community. IQinn (talk) 23:49, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I need to point out that someone using the Iqinn ID on commons uploaded five wikileaked images: File:Khirullah Khairkhwa.jpg, File:Hamidullah.jpg, File:Tolfiq Nassar Ahmed al Bihani.jpg, File:Abdallah Aiza al Matrafi.jpg, File:Abu Zubaydah.jpg. Were you aware of this?  Was that you?  Geo Swan (talk) 10:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Is this your justification for violating BLP by adding this crap "image" to a BLP? IQinn (talk) 10:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
