Israr ul Haq

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This whole article is built on just one article about him. That in and of itself shows a failure to follow the GNG, which specify multiple articles. There is no clear claim to notability. He was one of hundreds of people detained at Guantanamo, and there is nothing to set him apart from the others.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, as per nom. No indication of notability. CesareAngelotti (talk) 18:01, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Nominator is mistaken. There are 9 sources in the article, all of more than adequate depth and focus on the subject. Anarchangel (talk) 02:16, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Nomination fails WP:BEFORE. Delete vote fails...well, anyone can come here to AfD and make any damn assertion one wants to, without evidence or accountability of any kind. But it still fails, I contend. Evidence? Even the very first "find sources" link shows a New York Times source, http://projects.nytimes.com/guantanamo/detainees/515-israr-ul-haq . Anyone conversant with the subject knows Andy Worthington has files on all the captives, and therefore on Israr ul Haq specifically: http://www.andyworthington.co.uk/2011/08/02/wikileaks-and-the-guantanamo-prisoners-released-from-2002-to-2004-part-six-of-ten/#more-13601
 * Comment There are 9 sources, but I cannot find Haq's name in the ones that I have checked. In other words, the sources are about Gitmo, but not about the individual. There need to be sources that are about this person, and it needs to be more than a simple mention. Also note that the 9 sources are parts of a single series of articles, with subtitles: Day 1, Day 2, etc. So those are really a single source. If you think this person is important, then you need to find more information about him. LaMona (talk) 03:40, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, Redirect Redirect to List_of_Guantanamo_Bay_detainees; Add this name and add these cites to person's name there:, . (Note that there are many detainees with separate WP pages. Ones I viewed have quite a bit more information than this one.) LaMona (talk) 16:33, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Upon rereading this debate, it strikes me that, in adhering strictly to discussions of policy, I have left unaddressed the nominator's discussion of the content of the article, which description is quite misleading. The narrative of Israr ul Huq's pre-arrest, arrest, and detention is unique, as are all of the detainees'. You may say, this makes no difference to notability? Then why does the nominator make a point of asserting that his story is the same as the others? No matter, now the balance is restored. Anarchangel (talk) 03:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
