 * Note: I have modified the summary of the close from "Speedied by User:KFP" to "deleted per WP:SNOW by User:KFP" as the latter seems a more accurate description of the close. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 00:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

List of alleged al-Qaeda members

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A WP:BLP nightmare. Contains hundreds of names and is blissfully unsourced. Even if so, "alleged" is a weasel word; one can find almost any publication considered marginally reliable that will "allege" almost anyone of membership in a nefarious organization. Nuke from orbit with prejudice. Merzbow 06:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agreed... a WP:BLP nightmare. I started to remove names from the list that didn't include sources to justify their inclusion in the list and realized that none did. I left only the blue links... they probably point to articles that include sources. If this is the end result, a category would be better than this list. Sancho (Review me) 07:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete perhaps even a speedy per BLP. Uncited negative material gets removed. This is certainly uncited and hardly can be construed as less than negative.--Docg 13:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Doc and WP:BLP. DickClarkMises 14:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP Hut 8.5 14:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wow. Yea, a BLP-violating, unreferenced mess that needs to go. Tarc 14:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete The word "alleged" is the weasel among weasels. The list is a mixture of operating members and people who can at most be described as supporters, and not a single source. Pax:Vobiscum 17:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely: speedy delete per WP:BLP. And do not allow this as a category, either. AndyJones 20:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I've left a note at the BLP talk page in the hope that an admin with an interest in that project looks at this. It really should disappear far faster than the speed of an AfD. AndyJones 20:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Amazingly Speedy Delete, Salt, Set on Fire And then run away laughing. This ones a nobrainer. Kyaa the Catlord 20:44, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, clear grounds to speedy based on WP:BLP. Otherwise, I'll have to start adding names of people I don't like to the list, since sourcing is optional. (kidding) bobanny 20:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC) How the heck has this gone unnoticed since November, 2003? bobanny 20:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - someone, please NOW!!!. Moreschi Talk 21:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Baleete then Burninate. Obvious BLP violation. ~Crazytales 21:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
