[edit] Cat Le-Huy

Cat Le-Huy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

The subject does not meet WP:Notability criteria for a biographical article and the reason given by the author for its creation, "Wikipedia is a useful medium for disseminating those facts of the case that are uncontested", is contrary to WP:SOAP.JGHowes talk - 23:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


This is not a minor issue. This case is about western tourists that are being detained under archaic and abused laws in foreign countries. Cat Le-Huy is a prominent enough figure to attract attention from media outlets (show in links from the article and much more; google his name). He's had numerous urine tests and other tests on the .0001g hashish(actually dirt) that was found in his backpack. Do you wonder why there are no results? This information needs to be shared with the world! It's not about him, it's about the issue at hand and his part in it!

  • keep for now This case is continuing to get press coverage. Although it may make sense to move it to something else per WP:BLP1E maybe merge with a general article about Dubai drug enforcement and similar incidents. JoshuaZ (talk) 05:39, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
  • keep for now Regardless of my own motivations as author, I believe the "Free Diz" campaign and related press coverage makes Cat a notable enough subject while this remains an ongoing problem. Bluekieran (talk) 10:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Comment: In reply to JoshuaZ, it is, at Tourism in Dubai JGHowes talk - 05:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per Joshuaz. The tourism article is really too general a topic. As Josh said, if there is an article on only Drug Enforcement in Dubai, merging would be a good idea. CitiCat ♫ 02:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per JoshuaZ, I do believe that this is notable enough under the circumstances. Since there seems to be a consensus here, perhaps it is time we start re-evaluating WP:BLP1E and limiting its application. RFerreira (talk) 18:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
