List of Taliban fatality reports in Afghanistan

PER WP:NOTDIR Wikipedia is not a list of loosely associated topics. Wiki's for articles. ‑KoshVorlon | Angeli i demoni kruzhili nado mnoj... - 11:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I've never really understood the value of this article, and it appears to violate WP:NOT and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The article was originally created by a sockpuppet of the banned editor to support his or her OR calculations of the casualties from this war, and several similar articles created by Top Gun socks have been deleted (note that this article actually started at List of rebel fatality reports in Afghanistan and appears to have suffered a copy-and-paste move which has left its history split). I think that it's time for this to go as its not encyclopedic and not useful. Nick-D (talk) 11:49, 15 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. The individual fatality reports belong on Wikinews, not Wikipedia. I don't know if Wikinews policy allows it, but if someone thinks having a list is important, the list should be on Wikinews as well. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:24, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's really just a news events list -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I was thinking there might be a way to salvage this list as a timeline of fatalities but I also think if retained it should be separated by year and expanded. There are several other articles relating to fatalities of the conflict that could be consolidated but doing so would ruffle some feathers if we included non taliban people in it.
