List of Libyan children in HIV trial in Libya

 * — (View AfD)

A list of exactly one person. Should be merged into HIV Trial in Libya. If there are a few notable victims they can be discussed in the main article, but a list of 426+ non-notable people is not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a memorial. GabrielF 07:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. MER-C 08:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a tendentious memorial created by the sockpuppet of a disruptive user.Proabivouac 10:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Which user? Never mind, found it... -- Scientizzle 20:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It does appear that the notable victims are discussed in HIV trial in Libya. SkierRMH 10:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete "List of Libyan child in HIV trial in Libya"? Come on! Plus the other reasons mentioned by users above. --Folantin 11:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete covered in HIV trial in Libya and per Proabivouac. Budgiekiller 13:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant, covered in HIV trial in Libya. Terence Ong 15:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The nomination is solid. The article was created as a comprimise with (before (s)he became really disruptive) who insisted that the current 2-person list be at the top of the HIV trial in Libya page. -- Scientizzle 20:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Admittedly, the notability argument is complicated by the example of Jack the Ripper, where we have his alleged victims listed, and even entire articles dedicated to them, even though not a single one of them is independently notable. This is example is pretty compelling as it is similarly a case where there is no consensus on the alleged perpetrator's guilt, or even existence. Nevertheless, common sense prevails, 426+ non-notable alleged victims should not be listed in full or in part. AlexeiSeptimus 23:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Those are notable on the other hand Casualties of the Beslan school hostage crisis Islampedia 02:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Islampedia (talk • contribs) 01:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Delete out of thoughtfulness to any living victims. Living victims are often not listed in newspapers out of ethical consideration for the victim's sense of privacy. Goldenrowley 03:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete a compromise attempt on my part that failed, as it is now apparent there was no hope of completing the list. I see now that privacy issues also apply.  Simesa 19:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * See for reference: Journalism ethics and standards: "Like many broader ethical systems, journalism ethics include the principle of "limitation of harm." This often involves the withholding of certain details from reports such as the names of minor children, crime victims' names or information not materially related to particular news reports release of which might, for example, harm someone's reputation."

 * Do u think that this list also should be deleted Casualties of the Beslan school hostage crisis  ? .If not then we have to call this site westpedia  Islampedia 01:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, if that list does have living people on it I'd AFD it as well. Goldenrowley 03:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The List of the libyan children is ment for the 52 dead not all of them would u accept this then ??. I guess no one can delete the list called Casualties of the Beslan school hostage crisis . I think it is fair to keep both lists both victims were coverd by Media all over the world Islampedia 18:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I think both lists should be deleted. Is there a list of WTC/Pentagon casualties?  If so, that should be deleted also.  We might as well add "List of Hiroshima casualties", "List of 2006 Tsunami victims" and "List of Hurricane Katrina victims".  None of those lists, if they exist, should be included in Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is NOT a directory nor an indiscriminate repository of information.  Nor is it a memorial. --Richard 17:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * ' You are right It is fair to delete all similar lists . It is not fair that tens agree to delete this list and no single one is thinking about deleting similar lists. Wikipedia admins whatsup ??  Islampedia 18:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
