User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/habeas/Sliti v. Bush


Userfied after PROD. lying here since April 2010. Delete per WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:STALEDRAFT  D Big X ray   18:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The  __NOINDEX__  directive, which is transcluded in userspace draft and userspace notes, prevents pages from being searched by the web crawling robots that search engines use to build the indices they require to respond to search requests. I suggest that no page with one of those directives on it can be in violation of WP:NOT.  For what is worth, this userspace page wasn't in compliance with WP:FAKEARTICLE -- an oversight on my part.  But I suggest it is now.  Geo Swan (talk) 16:35, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Userspace is not a place for indefinitely hosting copies of material that has been deleted or is otherwise unsuitable for an article, and the author's history suggests that is unlikely to change in this case. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:STALEDRAFT and WP:NOTWEBHOST. There is no indication that this material is suitable for use on Wikipedia. I reject the assertion that the __NOINDEX__ directive enables the page not to violate WP:NOTWEBHOST, which has nothing to do with web crawling robots and search engines.

 * Delete Per WP:STALEDRAFT, there needs to be forward movements on user space drafts, and this page has been sitting without improvement too long, even taking into account the user's long term and extensive contributions to Wikipedia content. This page appears to be part of a collection of stale draft user pages in this area, which also makes the page fall under WP:NOTWEBHOST. External search engines are not a source of concern in this situation (see handling inappropriate content on others' user pages), so keeping because __NOINDEX__ is added to the page still fails to address the issue of a stale draft that viloates WP:STALEDRAFT and that also is an internal web page that violates WP:NOTWEBHOST. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep as referenced and possibly usable with the understanding that noindex is not of benefit in the discussion and the article should be put to WikiProject Abandoned Drafts for salvage attempt. --Nouniquenames (talk) 20:47, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Three of the four sources are court orders archived from the United States Department of Defense. Per Biographies of living persons, "Exercise caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person." I do not see how the fourth source has any relevance to verifying: "Sliti v. Bush (Civil Action No. 05-cv-429) habeas corpus". Because the article contains a long list of names of people referred to as "captives", and because the primary sources are unacceptable per BLP, the page should be deleted.
