Missing prisoners of Chile

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I propose this list for deletion per WP:NOT, specifically WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:IINFO. See Articles for deletion/List of MIR (Chile) members assassinated by the Pinochet regime, a similar case just decided as delete; no doubt many of the same arguments will be raised here, I hope more concisely. See also a discussion taking place at WT:NOT. An additional reason for not establishing a precedent for lists of this kind is the danger that they will be posted for partisan purposes contrary to WP:SOAPBOX; I do not suggest that is the case here, but we should consider the possibility that lists of the dead will be posted competitively by supporters of the different sides in current and past conflicts.

 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a memorial. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 22:48, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This may be a Speedy A7 - and it may be a violation of Biographies of living persons. It is an unverified list of names that are claimed to be missing prisoners of Chile. There are ethical and political considerations here.  SilkTork  *YES! 22:54, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This type of list is not useful in an encyclopedic context. particularly when the list has no further information and no context.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 18:08, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A list that serves no purpose on Wikipedia. I can see an article talking about the missing prisoners, prisoner conditions, executions, false claims, etc. but, not a questionable list of people. Plus, like others have said, WP:NOTMEMORIAL. -- Kimon talk 20:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
