Abdul Wahab (detainee)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD. Subject of the article appears to lack "significant independent coverage" in reliable sources and is therefore not notable under WP:GNG. Other concerns include WP:BLP1E and WP:V. Anotherclown (talk) 07:29, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Transparent attempt at censorship by the usual trolls who seem to follow GeoSwan around. But if you think that the role of the project is to just delete anything that embarrasses the U.S. government, go right ahead. -- Kendrick7talk 07:47, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment You surprise me. 1) Could you please explain how the article "embarrasses the U.S. government"? 2) Well you are free to accuse other editors of bad faith but i do not think that an Afd would be the right place to discuss this? How about ANI or RFC/U? 3} Just to remind you, accusation of bad faith does not invalid the arguments the nominator gave for  deletion so any uninvolved admin would closes this debate here as "delete" as he/she would ignore your !vote? As it looks like you want to keep the article wouldn't it better to address the policy based arguments the nominator gave for deletion? - IQinn (talk) 11:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as the original prodder. Just being detained doesn't make a person notable unless it's backed up by significant coverage in reliable sources. I'd probably be happy to go along with redirecting this to a list (if one exists) of the detainees, but I can't see that this guy warrants his own article. All of that notwithstanding, Kendrick7 shows a shocking display of bad faith - I'm not a troll, and I've had very few, if any dealings with User:Geo Swan.

 * Delete: in my opinion, the subject lacks significant coverage as set out in the general notability guideline. The subject could possibly be mentioned in an overarching article on detainees or something similar, but I don't believe that there is enough for an independent biographical article.

 * Delete. Nothing notable about this particular person.--Dmol (talk) 07:15, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
