The coverage here is mainly trivial, and not the indepth coverage required to establish notability. This article was previously considered for deletion, in a discussion that ended in no consensus, but was largely driven by people who held the view that 'all detainees at Guantanomo Bay were notable for that fact alone. That view has been shown to clearly have been rejected in later developments of consensus, so it seems to me it is high time to reopen this discussion and delete this article, as should have been done 7 years ago when first discussed.

 * I've never done a second nomination before. I think I messed this one up. If someone could fix it so the links work, that would be helpful.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:33, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * You can find the previous AfD discussion under this sentence. Lets see if this works. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep While not suggesting that all detainees are notable, Brahim Yadel has been the subject of significant coverage, much of which is in French for the obvious reason. See, e.g., Interview de Brahim Yadel - ex-détenu à Guantanamo and, even in English, . 24.151.10.165 (talk) 20:47, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Nomination presents the activity in the previous AfD quite backwards. An editor to Keep put forth the proposition that he was notable because he was believed to have organized training camps in France, and the Delete voters utterly and completely failed to even address that point. Sharp-eyed closers are quite likely to close in favor of a good argument. Anarchangel (talk) 03:01, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
