message: Ghaleb Nassar al Bihani is the fourth individual to face a Periodic Review Board.  President Obama promised these reviews in 2009, and implied they would begin in 2010.  In fact the mechanism for the reviews wasn't set up until 2011, and the first hearing wasn't convened until late 2013.  
The previous three hearings were widely covered, and I suspect this one will be as well.  It is scheduled for 2014-04-10 -- two days from now.  I'd like the article on this individual to be restored and ready for reporters to read by the day of his hearing.
I changed the article to a redirect in August 2012, when User:DBigXray was nominating similar articles for deletion at a rate of half a dozen a day.  DBigXray refused to recognize that no one could meaningfully respond to AFDs filed at such a rate.  Eventually his conduct was called into question at WP:ANI.  After I refuted his claims that he had no prior contact with me, providing diffs that showed his wikihounding followed directly after I made reasonable third party comments in a deletion discussion where he had made indefensible claims DBigXray permanently stopped using that particular wiki-id.
Anyhow, during his nomination of many dozens of similar articles I made the decision to change similar articles to redirects, since bringing such articles up to the wikipedia's current standards for inclusion had been taking me over half a dozen hours each.
Out of respect for the small number of contributors who very strongly feel practically no individual held at Guantanamo could ever meet our standards for inclusion I said I wouldn't restore any of these articles from redirects to standalone articles without first getting the opinions of reasonable third parties.  
I will ask for third party feedback, but I restored the article to standalone status first -- so it will be ready to be read by interested parties on 2014-04-10.  Geo Swan (talk) 17:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
