Deletion of Mister X (prisoner)

Comment: I'd like to point out that all this discussion about where the news took their info from is irrelevant. News sources are secondary sources: their job is to report stuff from a plethora of primary sources. Blogs, personal communication, interviews, whatever. The point is not how robust or weak is their primary source, for our |notability purposes: the point is that secondary sources decided "hey, this is ''notable'' enough for us to report

Comment: Okay, the Reddit frontpage link and the touchy subject made this AfD a bit of a mess. Let's steer away from the political heat and let's stick to the editorial facts. This has been reported in multiple reliable sources, thus it is notable per . As such, the article should be kept. That there is no evidence for the person existing is irrelevant: what is relevant is that the rumour has been reported by sources. Merging to Ali-Reza Asgari is not an option because it is unknown (even if probable, if we believe the sources) that the prisoner is Asgari
