Suspected jihadists from the Maldives

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:BLP violations in an article based on two sources, only one of which actualy names any of these individuals. One source which gives these persons one line of attention or less each is insufficient for such serious allegations about living people. Note that the bottom 6 names, despite being sourced to an article in The Hindu, are actually not named in that source, making these clear BLP violations. Fram (talk) 13:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - worrying BLP problems. The reliance on a single source is a problem, but so too is the idea of a "list of suspected ..." people in the first place, especially when they don't have articles. I've removed the names that were not listed in the source. - Bilby (talk) 14:37, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator and Bilby. IQinn (talk) 14:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * BLP delete While the sources appear credible, the people mentioned in this list are only mentioned in passing. Should be deleted on sight per the Badlydrawnjeff Arbcom decision. Blueboy96 17:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom, BLP violation. --Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete right away The word "suspected" is enough for me. (Although I did check out the article.) An encyclopedia needs to be for solid information, not for what is suspected. I hope the authorities catch the terrorists and prevent more crimes, but that is not what WP is for. Borock (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete And I'm blanking the page as insufficiently sourced libelous material. EEng (talk) 23:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - this was reported to the oversight team for suppression as being potentially libelous. As an oversighter, I reviewed the matter and have speedy-deleted as a clear mass BLP violation, as well as being borderline libelous. It's clearly also going the way of a WP:SNOW delete here. But primarily, it's potentially libelous - A l is o n  ❤ 08:49, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
