Saidullah Khalik

I fail to see why this prisoner is notable. Guantanamo Bay detention camp's notability doesn't mean that each prisoner gets their own Wikipedia article. I find it analogous to making an article for each prisoner held at Rikers Island. Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. brew crewer (yada, yada) 23:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Disclaimer -- I created this article, just a few hours ago.
- I strongly disagree with the nominator, on all his points.
- No offense, the comparison with Rikers Island is spurious. Rikers Island contains men who have been charged or convicted of crimes. Charging, prosecuting, and acquitting or convicting suspects is a well-understood and generally non-controversial process. Very, very few Rikers convicts will stir world-wide controversy. While the captives at Guantanamo, with less than a dozen exceptions, are not only not convicts, they have not been charged with a crime.
- As captives go, the Uyghur captives in Guantanamo, like Saidullah Khalik, are among the most controversial. There is a wide discrepancy among commentators as to the extent to which they might be pro-USA innocent bystanders.
- I believe this article fully complies with all wikipedia policies.
  - Please don't confuse Guantanamo Bay detention camp and it's detainees. Guantanamo Bay detention camp is unquestionably notable; it's detainess aren't.
  - There are people world-wide that are being held without charges. Being held without charges (unfortunatly) doesn't make you notable.
  - It would be most reasonable to redirect to Uyghur captives in Guantanamo.--brew crewer (yada, yada) 01:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If this guy can make Uncle Sam shit his pants in fear, surely that's pretty notable. Mykej (talk) 02:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's nothing notable about this person and comments about 'Uncle Sam' soilings his pants are less than helpful. Nick mallory (talk) 10:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- there is a whole lot of Guantanamo Bay detainees with individual articles. See [:Category:Guantanamo Bay detainees] Guroadrunner (talk) 13:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
