Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdul Zahir (Guantanamo Bay detainee 753)
I https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abdul_Zahir_%28Guantanamo_Bay_detainee_753%29&diff=507064006&oldid=506726952 made  some changes to bring this article up to date.  I believe these edits show that the comments from those who favor deletion, due to a lack of references that establish notability should be discounted by the closing administrator -- it is just not true.  Only ten captives faced charges before the Presidentially authorized Military Commissions -- the ones struck down by the Supreme Court as unconsistutional.  Zahir was the last one.  I believe there is a meme shared by those who advocate deletion of the Guantanamo captives -- namely that events there are routine, mundane, not of out of the ordinary -- and thus not worthy of coverage.  We don't cover certain kinds of routine events, even if the press has given them extensive coverage.  I agree with this principle.  I strongly disagree with the notion that the detention of the Guantanamo captives is routine.  My personal interpretation that conditions there are not routine is no more relevant than the personal interpretation of those in the delete camp that conditions are routine.  What is relevant is what  said about Zahir's detention.  I think the  clearly support Zahir's notability.  Take the charges against him, and the hearings of his military commission
— NONE, NONE
