Nabeel Hussain

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Living person. Accused of complicity in a terrorist plot but no record of any conviction. No other claim to fame. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 09:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

*Strong delete Thanks very much for this. This guy was acquitted ("the jury accepted his defence that he was an unwitting victim of someone else's conspiracy - and that he himself had no role in what happened.) and we should definitely not have an article on him, he's had enough problems. I've added his acquittal to the article. Oh hell, looks like the guy who was acquitted is but that's not the same person, although the same name, as, ,  is it? I'll remove my edit.

 * No one on the Guantanamo articles ever said they were voting delete out of sympathy for those detained, but I always suspected there were some. You could not be more wrong, in my opinion. The press is filled with accusations of crimes, but criminals being found not guilty, not so much. Vindication, which they can receive, can be more important to those unjustly held and charged than anonymity, which they have lost forever. Anarchangel (talk) 04:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:PERP, relatively minor role in the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot (not even mentioned in that article). January  ( talk ) 18:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, the Nabeel Hussain who is the subject of this article was jailed for 8 years for "engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts" related to the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot. He is not the same person as the Nabeel Hussain in this BBC article who was acquitted in an unrelated case in 2007. January  ( talk ) 08:33, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Please amend the article with the reference you have supplied. I wasn't aware of it. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 10:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
 * That is to say, the conviction should go into the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot article, even if this one is deleted. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 13:29, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
