On a living Guantanamo prisoner (now released). Fails WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:BIO, WP:GNG. There are no secondary sources to claim notability of the subject and the citations used are WP:PRIMARY sources (WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 84#Reliability of US military summary reports) DBig Xray 20:43, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Afghan detainees at Guantanamo Bay, for the reasons explained by the nom. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:13, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Afghan detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Subject does not pass WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:SOLDIER; however, as the subject is part of a notable group, even if not notable themselves, a redirect to said group can be left in the articlespace.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:44, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - subject lacks "significant coverage" in reliable sources as is therefore not notable under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 06:14, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Mentions in trial transcripts do not confer notability, and there is complete lack of significant and specific coverage by secondary published reliable sources. Manifestly fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Given that the creator of this article has created what appears to be dozens or more likely hundreds similar articles on manifestly non-notable individuals that are currently sitting in mainspace and need to be deleted, the "merge" option is unrealistic here. Nobody has the time to sift through this mountain of obscure non-notable material and figure out what and how and where may be merged here. It should simply be deleted, period.
