[edit] Asif Iqbal (Rochester, NY)

Non-notable guy who plans (according to source in 2004) sue U.S. government. Renata 05:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep. What the heck? Three seperate articles about the guy are pretty much instant notability. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to No Fly List#False positives and alleged misuses. Several people considerably more famous than this person have had similar experiences. --Metropolitan90 05:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above. He is not notable for anything he did, he is simply a statistic. Any article that needs to state "he is notable because..." is not notable. Resolute 08:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Metropolitan90. ← ANAS ^Talk? 12:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I've added another source with some more information now. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 15:35, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge, per Metropolitan90. Inner Earth 15:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

• Strong KEEP He is notable not for what he did, but for what was done to him. The articles needs serious expansion, which will be easy as every news source has written about it, here and abroad, and will be continuing to until the matter is finally resolved, some years from now. This is already a notable civil liberties case, and not keeping it would be a very serious POV bias.DGG 02:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This "planned" lawsuit doesn't move me, but he's received enough publicity that readers may want to know about him. One trouble with merger is that I'm not sure we could keep him listed on the Asif Iqbal dab page, which would lessen Wikipedia's value in helping to sort out these four people.

  • I don't see a problem with leaving him on the disambiguation page with a link to No Fly List#False positives and alleged misuses. Not every entry on a disambiguation page needs to have a full page in its own right. --Metropolitan90 20:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
