On a living (now released) prisoner from Guantanamo Fails WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:BIO. There are no secondary sources or independent coverage to claim notability of the subject. The citation used merely take the name. Moreover they are WP:PRIMARY source (WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 84#Reliability of US military summary reports) DBig Xray 15:02, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - subject lacks "significant coverage" in reliable sources as is therefore not notable under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 05:53, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & redirect to Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Subject does not appear to have received significant coverage per WP:GNG, and fails WP:ANYBIO & WP:SOLDIER. The closest thing I can find to significant coverage is this article written in the San Diego Union Tribune, however the subject of this BLP is not the primary subject of the RS. As the subject is a member of a notable group, what verified content exists can be summarized and merged into the article regarding that group.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:17, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirect to Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay per WP:R#HARMFUL and WP:R#KEEP.--Joshuaism (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- I am not challenging whether our nominator made this nomination in good faith, but I suggest anyone reading the article will recognize the nomination illustrates the nominator has serious misunderstandings of our policies, guidelines and conventions. For instance the nominator claims the sources are PRIMARY sources. We don't consider newspaper articles, like this one, PRIMARY sources. Geo Swan (talk) 23:15, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & redirect to Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Significant coverage not established, does not meet notability standards for a standalone article, especially when there is a suitable list in which to WP:PRESERVE the content. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:02, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and merge with Uyghur detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The subject is more notable as one person in a group than by himself. A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 09:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
