Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Forces casualties in the war in Afghanistan
I anticipated this would be a contentious nomination (it didn't take a genuis!), so would would like to thank all contributors so far for the good quality of the discussion. BobaFett85, the problem I have with your suggestion is that while it will solve the memorial and length issues, these aren't the only significant problems with the article. With the greatest respect, I feel you're suggesting turning it into an incident list because it will still permit you to include your own personal interpretation of the casualty figures. It's been pointed out before, but our inclusion criterion is "verifiability, '''not''' truth". I can understand why you want to do what you're doing, but you must understand that by taking figures from various places and using them to reach a different total to the http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf official one, you are (in the words of ) "putting together information from multiple sources to reach a conclusion that is not stated explicitly by any of the sources." Even if we know or believe the published data is wrong, the  policy means it's all we have to go by and is all we're allowed to report. I appreciate that it's frustrating - many of us have had to deal with this when writing articles - but it's the way the Wikipedia community has decided we must work
