message: I reverted the poorly explained excision of the section based on the publication of this captive's medical records.  The contributor who excised this section from this article excised similar sections from half a dozen other articles -- again without making an attempt to discuss their concern.
I responded to one of those excisions here.  Geo Swan (talk) 07:35, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  explanation 

message: Additional explanation to my edit summary and the related policies. 
"not relevant for his notability" The release of medical records of Guantanamo detainees might be interesting in the broader topic of Guantanamo, as for example some of the detainees claim they have suffered health damages. But this is the biography of Sharbat (Guantanamo detainee 1051) and there are no secondary sources in the article that discuss his personal health to a level where it could become relevant. The inclusion of this material is not relevant to Sharbat's (Guantanamo detainee 1051) notability and can not be included under WP:NPF. 
"insufficient sourced" from WP:NPF  The section is based on a primary source and therefore it can not be included.  
"private information that could be possible harmful" Medical information are very personal information. All countries around the world i know have laws against the publishing of medical records. Publishing of medical information is restricted unless the individual agrees to it. Why? I can easily imagine a lot of situations where this could be harmful to an individual. An insurance company could reject to sell him a policy or potential employer could reject to give him a job...
Only one of these three reasons would justify an removal. This is not even a border-line case here. The material needs to be removed as soon as possible in accordance with our policies. Iqinn (talk) 08:12, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm borderline on this issue, I'm reverting for now so that the information is not lost in the fog of time (or you can move it all to talk page, at least, for now) - and I think it's fair to say that health of a prisoner while in captivity can be notable (especially in some cases where you see Guantanamo prisoners lose >100lbs); but it is a borderline privacy issue.

replies: text: The material should not be moved to the talk page or re-inserted as it is not clear at the moment if it should kept private. The information is not lost. It is accessible over the history. I have given three reasons why i think the material can not be included into the biography article of the individual Sharbat (Guantanamo detainee 1051). You are welcome to discuss the issue here. Iqinn (talk) 18:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would appreciate if you make a list of all Guantanamo-related articles from which you have removed information then, somewhere on your userspace, just saying "Sharbat - removed medical information"; it will allow us to leave the information deleted for now, with the knowledge it is easily re-found if consensus dictates.
