Redirect and merge To List of Guantanamo Bay detainees. As a standalone bio, this is a WP:BLP1E at best, and the article seems almost entirely sourced to a single reporter (almost feels like an ad for this Tom Lasseter fellow), so there's no possible claim to significant coverage. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wishy washy. I don't know, I'm kind of torn between delete and redirect/merge. Are these sources worthy of keeping? I'd like to see input from more editors. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - subject lacks "significant coverage" in reliable sources and is therefore non-notable under general notability guideline. Anotherclown (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete any potential notability is for a single event (being arrested and sent to Guantanamo Bay), so this fails WP:BLP1E. Nick-D (talk) 11:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't think we should keep all of the gitmo prisoners, and awe have no been doing so, but I think we do when there are exception circumstances or exceptional coverage. This is not 1E. If someone is arrested and sent to a routine prison, it might be, but being sent to this particular place is highly unusual, and amounts to a separate event. It seems clear to me there will be continuing interest--I think some of our deletions will end up looking remarkably silly, because stories like his are the sort of thing that makes people being considered martyrs. (Don't confuse this with amy personal judgment of who ought to be regarded as a martyr--some horrible people have been so regarded by their supporters.)
