Talk:David Passaro

message: I see that the references to the article on Hyder Akbar have been excised.
Isn't his role worth mentioning?
The nephew of the Governor of the Province, an American citizen himself, convinced Abdul Wali that since Wali was innocent, he should have no fear that Americans would abuse him.  Wali was present, and described, Passaro's first interrogation of Wali.
So, let me ask again, isn't his role worth mentioning?  --  Geo Swan 13:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have done a rough BLP re-write based on a comment left at WP:BLP/N today. The article was unacceptable in its prior state. It's better now, but not perfect; however I don't have any more time to spend on it today. Below are a couple of paragraphs I've removed, they probably are accurate but the references are dead links. Someone may want to source them and see if they should be re-added. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 23:25, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, though they appear together here, the 3 paragraphs were in different places in the article, don't expect them to make sense out of context. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 23:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

text: In February, 2009, an anonymous user readded a paragraph with a properly sourced quote concerning a claim that the subject allegedly abused his stepson by beating him in a manner similar to that alleged in the case by the detainee. I've removed it again. The article used to source the statement merely pointed to testimony that the prosecutor wanted to use in the trial. The article doesn't reveal whether the judge allowed the evidence to be used or not, nor does it reflect whether the step-son's account was challenged or not. While I think that there may be a place for the quote in a larger, more balanced article, in its current stub form the qutoe does little exception pile on negative information in case in which the subject was actually acquitted of the worst charges. As such, due to the WP:BLP and WP:NPOV concerns, I removed it. Please do not re-add it without discussing the matter her first.  Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 17:48, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Why aren't any details of the crime given? Many references are given, but no details of what he actually did to the victim appear in this article.211.125.177.12 (talk) 06:46, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Details of the crime

message: This person is notable for only one thing.  Wikipedia discourages articles on people who are notable for only one thing. WP:1E. The fact of his having been prosecuted for torturing someone to death is what is notable. It is the prosecution not him, that matters.  The prosecution is dealt with succinctly on the Enhanced interrogation techniques page.  He himself is of no consequence, just one more convicted felon among hundreds of thousands every year. There is no reason to give his name exposure on Wikipedia. Proposal: delete this article, redirect from his name to the section on prosecution of torturers in Enhanced Interrogation here

replies: text: It seems to me that a merge with Death of Abdul Wali is what is most needed. Any further reorganisation could be considered after that. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 12:08, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your view. Good point. If others agree I will see about writing some language for merging this ElijahBosley (talk ☞)  14:54, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Concur with a merge. The subject's primary notability is in the context of Mr. Wali's death and the legal consequences that followed. I think his name should redirect to the Wali article. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 02:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  Seeing an emerging consensus, I have put a Merger proposal tag at the head of the David Passaro page.  I'll wait a while, and if there is no objection engineer the merger.ElijahBosley (talk ☞)  11:34, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

text: As per the message you left on my talk page Elijah, I think it would certainly be a good idea to merge this article into the Death of Abdul Wali page. Thanks for the heads up, despite my very late response! keepinternetfree 5:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
