[edit] Syed Haris Ahmed

This page could be merged. I'm not familiar with the topic but I do know that this page could be merged with all Accused Members or something like that. It has three sentences which is very short. There could be a page called Supspected colleagues of the Toronto 2006 terrisom case I suggest merge. ForestH2 | + | √+ | √ | √- | - 16:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

• Very Strong Keep, There are 17,000 google hits for his name, as a suspected colleague of Canada's largest terror network, he is as notable as Zacarias Moussaoui. Pages don't get any bigger or more detailed if you delete them while they're still relatively small. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject)} 17:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep - per above. --Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 18:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or userfy to Sherurcij's user space until the article meets the standards for actual verification on biographies of living people at WP:LIVING. We should be at least as stringent about verification of negative statements about living people as we are about positive statements. GRBerry 01:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I like the userfy idea because this obviously meets no standards for actul verification on biographies of living people. ForestH2 | + | √+ | √ | √- | - 02:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

• • I don't deny it could use some citations put in, but a simple google search, as I said, will show that he is indeed exactly what the article says. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject)} 03:54, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
    • I've gone ahead and added references. I believe that every fact in the article is in at least one of the cited references now. So there is no longer a reason to userfy. GRBerry 13:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep — I'd dispute Sherurcij's statement that this individual is "as notable as Zacarias Moussaoui", but he certainly seems to have a degree of notability and since all content is backed up by references I can't really see much reason to delete. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 16:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

*Delete Very short article. Treebark 22:13, 5 July 2006 (UTC) I'm getting confused. I was talking about another article when I said this. Treebark

Comment, that...is beyond irrational. Not only are WP:Stubs very important to Wikipedia, but you're actually talking about an article that is 162 words long. Sherurcij ^{(talk) (Terrorist Wikiproject)} 22:26, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge I see Forest's reason to merge and I also see a reason to keep this article. More later. Treebark 00:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
